Earlier this month, John Chow put up on his post talking about people who use their names as their domains. I, for example, fall under this categorization, because I use MichaelKwan.com for my freelance writing business, and btr.michaelkwan.com for my blog. This is one of the requirements, it seems, to being proclaimed a dot com mogul.
In any case, I’m finally getting around to spreading the word about this list, so here it is. Feel free to add yourself and your friends to this list, putting up a blog entry in your own chunk of internet real estate.
***Start Copying Here***
1) Write a short introduction paragraph about what how you found the list and include a link to the blog that referred you to the list.
2) COPY the ENTIRE List below and add it to your blog. To avoid duplicate content and increase the number of keywords associated with your site, go ahead and change the titles of the blogs. Just don’t change the links of the blogs.
3) Take “My Adds” and move them into the “My Originals” list.
4) Add 3 Brand New Narcissistic Bloggers that you know of
My Adds:
Dylan Duarte
John Bardinelli
Darren Barefoot
The Originals:
Bob Buskirk
Jon Waraas
David Lithman
Gary Lee
Ed Lau
Root of All Evil
Nate Whitehill
Stephen Fung

Nathan Drach
Saman Sadeghi

I’ve received a few linkbacks from this scheme, boosting my Technorati ranking just a touch. It’s certainly worth your while to spend a few moments to repost this list on your blog. Enjoy the SEO love!
Update (4/19/07): Inspired by Hannes Johnson, I’ve changed the anchor text on a few links to something more appropriate. I’m “freelance writing” now, whereas John Chow is “root of all evil”, and so on. Good idea Hannes!
choo-choo, the train moves on…
thanks for participating in the list Michael. With your help and everyone else’s, I’ve finally moved to page 1 in Google Serps for “GARY LEE” . . . woo HOO!

Hi Calvin. Thanks for keeping the train going, but the idea is that you now have to convince additional blogs to keep the list going, not retro-actively change all the posts that have already been made.
I like all the information am able to learn from in this blog however the colour is so dark am hardly able to see the text
You’re not letting the page load completely. It should be a white background.
