Thanks Darren ! I got really good traffic to compared to what I had previously. And that traffic is returning. Great experience for me.

Thanks for recognising my pitch as one of your favourites. It is great to know that I am doing something well, not to mention getting a fair few hits from it too.

Thanks again, it was a great feature.

Hey Darren,
I entered my blog, and I was also yelling out to my husband about the random blog topics that people posted. It was really cool to see the variety. I just added a link to your post on this site. But you should also check out what Chuck Westerbrook is planning. It reminded me of your experiment.

Wow. I was the one(or at least one of them) who thought it was 140 ‘words’ and not 140 ‘characters’. I was quite intrigued why people are posting such short pitches when the limit is 140 words? :)

Kravazon — Thanks for noticing me! Your blog looks really interesting too. I’ve been considering martial arts for some time now to improve my discipline and stay in shape. There is actually a Krav Maga studio very near my apartment. I just subscribed to your blog, maybe your posts will finally get me off my butt and into a martial arts studio!

One really frustrating aspect of the 48 hour comment “spam” experiment:

I discovered several other bloggers in my niche that I didn’t already know about. I wanted to contact them, thinking that problogger-minded people in my niche would make a great network to help promote each other’s blogs. Not a single one of them has any way to contact them on their blogs!

Hey garden bloggers out there! Email me if you’d like to discuss networking possibilities: fern at lifeonthebalcony.com

Wow… 1400 bloggers, and I’m the only one with the “Aviation” word in. No aircraft, no airplane… That’s a small niche…

it was a good exercise in asking myself what am I blogging about ? I think I have been running a bit too much these days!

I joined the crowd and it still feels great even if my blog was not chosen. I haven’t checked if I gained traffic from that, but I discovered a lot of good blogs.

It was also a good learning how bloggers use the 140 character limit, as it helps me how to promote my blog in the shorter time.

Although I don’t have interest in any of the blogs chosen, I learned that it is really important unique strategies are.

Thanks!

Hey Darren, thanks for the very kind shout out. This whole thing was very clever – I found it from twitter myself.

Personally, I vote for the shed guys. Who doesn’t love sheds? Sheds for everyone!

I have seen that you do not have any protections against spiders. I had to close my comments because of that. I did not want to lose time moderating hundreds of pieces of rubbish. Now I am thinking to install a plugin (the math one “¿how is 2+2?” type). I have wordpress. Can you or any reader give me an advice?

This was a lot of fun, and a great learning experience. I learned that I need to spruce up my own elevator pitch, and I learned about some other great blogs both in and out of my own niche. Thanks for hosting this experiment!
