The A-lister has to start from scratch, blogging under a pseudonym and try to build readership. The Z-lister takes over the A-lister’s blog, writing under their name.

But more importantly, thank you for bringing your blog to my attention. I've got a whole army of blogs I'm connected with as we speak with A-class material. Where any of us will be 2 years from now is anybody's guess. I do have a liberal link out policy though, it introduces too much drama to something that should be just an exercise in goodwill. I'm a bit tired so sorry if this reply is rambling and I know it is. Tish,

I’m a bit tired so sorry if this reply is rambling and I know it is.

I've done it...came into the blogosphere with no real solid profession (graduated college in '05, worked retail, freelanced) and actually have a pretty good reputation for my journalism and social media commentary. What I make of that reputation is testament to my abilities to network--not sitting on my ass and kvetching about the A-list (all the time giving the A-list loads of links to keep them on top.) the whole argument misses the entire point of what blogging’s about anyway—building community and being social through your writing (or podcasting or vlogging). yes, you can make a name and reputation for yourself with absolutey nothing.

There could be a shakeup or a new medium evolve out of blogs. I guess that’s why you always want to get in at the top but you never know.

Most of the current A-Listers got into the game several years ago when there was far less competition. These days most of the major niches are covered. That would be the true test of an A-lister. Can they create a new blog that competes with their existing A list blog? I agree. Most of the current A-Listers got into the game several years ago when there was far less competition.
