A link scheme designed to game the rankings at sites like blog tracker Technorati, along with other search sites, received a swift kick in the routers from the Technorati crew. On Technorati's new Where's The Fire feature, a few bloggers describe the now-offline image and link mosaic that had been promoted by Tino Buntic as a way to link together 2000 bloggers, hence the name. The initiative picked up a lot of buzz, some of which was pretty negative. Technorati took a dim view of the project, and their Ian Kallen Translation: nice try, but the large gentlemen working door security at Technorati have taken the 2000 Bloggers effort and tossed it to the curb. Buntic Although the intentions may have been good, it would be difficult for any engine that weights blogs by inbound links to tolerate this for very long. The practice of bloggers linking to each other won't end, they will just have to do so without using shortcuts to get a bunch of links in one move.
