There is a good point to join the project, imho, for encouragement included. I blog mostly in my mother tongue and have, though small, loyal readers, but I think I got to work more on this English one. As you asked,"Do [I] deserve all those inbound links?"

You didn't request to be added. Tino added you without requesting your permission and even took your photo! So I believe you have the right to OPT out if you so wish, after all its personally your choice! Besides I have reviewed this so called list and time will tell what happens to the project after the next search engine algorithm is completed. Man it makes me glad not to be a blogger - all these soap operas - quick someone change the channel! Shawn:mrgreen: Holy cow what’s the big deal with the 2000 Bloggers project!

I too was added in the original 300. I'm not quite sure how Tino found me but I didn't mind being added. I have had a number of people visit my blog and comment who might not have found me otherwise. I think that spin off sites intended to function as "link farms" might spawn creating a challenge to sites like technorati who are trying to keep net rankings legitimate. I'm interested in seeing what happens. I certainly respect your decision Rose. I too was added in the original 300. I’m not quite sure how Tino found me but I didn’t mind being added.

Everyone knows that Google is king of search engines. Mert, you have the right to your opinion and I certainly have the right to mine. This is not about Technorati, it is about Google. You may not care if Google or the other search engines ban you, but I do. Most search engines penalize sites associated with link farms and just tonight I discovered that over 130 + websites use the code. That is 130 + sites with 2000 links on one page. That is 130+ link farms in Google's eyes that my blog would be associated with. Google states there should be no more than 100 links on one page or it is considered a link farm. The 2000 project started as a way of networking sites together and then is became this huge “linkfest.” My husband and I spent 3 hours and a half attempting to get my pic and link removed when I did not even sign up. This has all become one big headache for me. I never asked to be added and though I was flattered at first to be added, I now wish I was never made part of it. Although the intentions may have been good, Google is not going to see it that way. Google is known to actively penalize link farms. Everyone knows that Google is king of search engines.
