Cheap Fame and Notoriety

J-walk, the site of 1000+ viewer a day is offering to link to his readers sites, provided that they link to his post: Attention Bloggers! I'm a cheap internet link whore. I'll do it. Being superbly confident in his internet skills, J-walk is challenging his readers to put him to the test.

This is an experiment to see how "findable" blog references are. Put me to the the test, fellow bloggers. All you have to do is post a link to this particular blog item (i.e., the one you're reading now). Just call it J-Walk Blog Link Experiment or something like that. After a few days, I'll post a list of every blog I found that linked to this item. If you're not on the list, I'll invite you to send me the link to your entry. I'll post these unfound links, and we'll try to figure out why I didn't find you.
He even admits that it is a cheap way to get some linkage.
By the way, this is not just a cheap way to get some linkage (although it won't hurt). I really think it will be a useful experiment. I'll reveal all of my sources and, hopefully, learn about some new ones. I think other bloggers and the blog tracking sites may benefit from the results.
I'm in.
