Oh my, really, the first serious Sphinnbait. And so deserving of a Sphinn. C'mon, let's kick John up to 100.
funny stuff.
I assume you are going to make 100 Sphinns, top the "Greatest Hits", and then quit, correct?
Don't be a "One Hit Wonder", John.
Way to go, John. However I hope all this fun stuff won't crowd out the quality content.
This is just a demonstration of the mob mentality within the business. Well, I won't sphinn it. Nope, I'm not falling for it. Not this fella.
must.... resist.... sphinning....accckkkkk
I tried to read his blog but after looking at it... decided wasn't worth trying to decipher.
But I was thinking his idea is SphinnSpam
Say that three times real quick.....
This is a perfect example of linkbait. John caught my attention just like he said he would...through my logs. Way to go John, you got my Sphinn.
I found out through my log too. Clever strategy. Was that a typical get-rich-quick looong sales letter or a post?
The only items missing were the red bold letters, big headings, testimonials and his signature ;-)
LOL I love the update on John's site now, sooo many outbound links. I guess that answers the question of "does it hurt to link out to too many sites?" =)
good lord.. that blog is about 10 minutes away from MFA land... no sphinn for you! I am the sphinn nazi!
John gave me some great advice a few months ago about where to go in my business. I'll gladly Sphinn this. It's now Sphunn. This is fun.
Now, I'm done.
Hmmm...Rand's mug or John's mug.
Rand is much cuter. But what the hell...I'll sphinn it...
It's just one more Sphinn. What could it hurt?
I promise I'm quitting tomorrow. This is seriously the last one. Well... I'll have to Sphinn once tomorrow morning... just to get the day started off on the right foot.
But then I'm done for real. Yeah. Tomorrow is the day. That's the plan for today anyway.
John ... love it. Making Seattle proud. You get #1, Rand gets #2, and then we all bump one of mine up there and Seattle owns the Top 3. Sound good?
I did sphinn it for the record.. was just trying to make a bad seinfeld joke.
sorry :(
Threw a link on the SEOmoz blog to hopefully help you out. Good luck.
Heh. I'd kill for a link - sphunn, and great job John!
Okey dokey. I'm a sucker. Sphunn and contact made.
Sphunn, more to see whether driving traffic to his page will drive it on to our site which is on the list - nowt as yet...
It's bloody hard reading though, isn't it?
Sphunn, love it.
moved finger on mouse downwards
Sphinn to Win. Legendary work fella.
alright. why not.
I'll give this a Sphinn, though it sounded as though we'll later lose the ego-links he's got to our blogs? Worthy of a Sphinn, regardless.
"...watch their referrer logs like hawks..." Yeah. I guess I resemble that remark!
sphunn....
Sock it to 'em, John - always good for pinpointing the latest coolest buzzy trends from Absurdistan.
It can be done.....one step closer to 100
Back in the day, I spun pressed vinyl and got David Cassidy and the Partridge Family in return... Then the Berlin wall came down, vinyl became a sofa cover that my legs stuck to on humid days, and I found myself thrust into the exciting world of SEO. I'll sphinn to say I was a part of history!
part of me says no, don't do it...but i couldn't resist.
damn fine idea
@Jill, see, at first I thought John's mug was a Borg from Star Trek -- which alone would have been sphinn worthy. Then I realized it was a camera! Great post about taking photos about the surfers and bringing that back to search privace, by the way, John: http://www.johnon.com/380/google-privacy-2.html
Booyah...
Wonderful...in addition to the link-for-Sphinns approach, I think gift certificates for sushi in San Jose should be distributed to those making colorful comments.
I guess sphinning this makes me a dirty dirty link whore
wow that was my first sphinn!
Okay, I'll bite and make this my first Sphinn. Your strategy worked, I tracked a link to my Big Oak SEO Blog and found the article.
Haha...I had to register just so I Sphinn this. I've been reading Johnon since Threadwatch closed down...nowadays it's the best place I can find for snarkyness. Hmmm...maybe I should go check out what Thatgirlfrommarketing is writing - without Threadwatch I'm snark-deprived :-(
I do believe I'm the 100th sphinner!
:)
Wow... I went biking this morning and just checked back in to see 98 sphinns! Awesome.. and certainly gives me more to show off to the domainers next week at DomainRoundtable. Now, who will be Sphinn #100 of the first post to Sphinn up to 100?
I'll get the linking updated... lots of work to do :-)
I believe the answer is, ME :)
Wow, that was more exciting than sniping an Ebay auction :)
Maybe I should get out more...
Sphunn ... and I subscribed to your feed, John. Double whammy.
101! Way to go John! Way to knock off Rand! (no offense Rand, seomoz = still super cool)
102 and still going...
No offence to rand but I'm glad he's not up there anymore :D
Since we've now delivered on John's objective, perhaps we can now get back to Regular Programming. :)
Regular programing... this is a marketers community!
Oh the drama, the intrigue, and mine is bigger than yours.
Nice ping list for this one ;)
toprankblog full list pinged ?
Only the first 400 entries ;-)
i joined sphinn because of this article. it is good and made me want to join.
Hey, I joined Sphinn because of this article, too. John, they should pay you! You're the best marketer of the week.
done
I regret that I only have one sphinn to give.
I'll give it a shot.
Sure, I'm in!
Another one signed up because of John's article...
145, baby. You make some good points.
It was my first Sphinn
Just one more Sphinn and it's the double century. I've helped already so it can't be me.
lol.
go John go!
Good technique to get some backdoor sphinns.... always smile at your methodologies... keep it up mate
I did my job john :)
19 to go....
18 to go :)
So now we've got de-sphinners, on a Sphinn-zone post. Gimme a break. If nothing else, this thread is PROMOTIONAL and FEELS GOOD for Sphinners who participate. I can see desphinning news items that don't make the grade, but desphinning a Sphinn-zone discussion?
Sounds like sour grapes to me.
Sour grapes it may be, but it doesn't add any value to the Internet Marketing community in my opinion.
Come on, you can handle it.
Very good post you wrote about barter: http://www.johnon.com/528/google-paidlinks.html
Well thats all done then

Little late to the party here, but this whole thread reminded me of phrase that starts with circle and ends in jerk.
