Siblinks #1: Linking Tech Siblings
Written by Pavan Kumar on October 11, 2008
Introducing Siblinks – the linking extravaganza for tech bloggers. Like Sunday Pastimes, this too will be a regular section on every Saturday. It is a blogosphere wide practice that people link each other when an interesting article is found.
So, why I started this new section at TechPavan.com? I was shy ! Of course, only getting linked by people and no credits for them made me feel shy about my blog. Also, it would be nice for my readers to know what I am reading and I love to read. So, here I will be sharing few of the best articles around. Hope you all love this. My readers will be benefited with good reads all around, and me getting benefited by networking.
Why the term "siblinks"? You know siblings and also links. Siblinks could then mean linking to my siblings in tech blogging. This is not a dictionary word. I just had a search on Google and found some organization sites with same name. No problem for me, hope I will stand above them in few days 
.
Who will be linked? My regular readers are most aware that I love “how to” type of articles or tutorials. And I love to link the same. This also includes all type of innovative tricks and ideas presented by bloggers. But if I find anything else which is really useful, I will definitely bring them to light here. Again, only tech stuffs. Barrak Obama wins US Election may hit the front page of digg, but it cannot hit techpavan.
Why am I not linked? The very first reason being, I have not read your article properly – or I find your article is not interesting for me though it is very much useful. For example – you are an expert in Windows Vista and write an ultimate post about some Vista tricks which are never known before. Probably you may get 1000+ diggs and be at the front page of digg. But for me, a non Vista user – your killer post is just another Vista article 😉 . I am extremely sorry for such kinda things.
What if I have a very good post worth for TechPavan readers? You are most welcome to share use my contact form to inform me secretly. If you want to drive some traffic starting from the very next moment, just place your link in comment section.
