Have you ever wondered what would happen if the blog world completely ignored Google for a few days?

I have.

I came over here from my RSS reader to comment (along the lines of "not much either way, really"), but then I got distracted by your "Related links from Google" feature.

You just *know* this is going to create an weblog discussion network about ignoring google.

Phil, for some reason I find that terribly amusing. :-)

Blogging about blogs ignoring Google... the irony.

Probably nothing. Blogs drive little traffic in the scheme of things. Out of 200+ million searches, what's a few thousand blogs? (I know there are more than a few thousand, but I'm speaking just tech blogs that would link/talk about google. Also there are only a handful < 200 blogs that would drive any sort of traffic...)

Ironically, your blog already comes up if someone "Googles" for "ignoring Google":

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22ignoring+google%22&btnG=Google+Search

After this post gets indexed, you'll probably be #1.
