I am going to start off this experiment by explaining exactly what I would like to accomplish through this and then I will provide you with how we will go about doing all of this.
For small blogs that may just be starting out (only a month or two old) it can often be hard and also very discouraging whenever you try to write quality articles and posts and hardly anyone ends up reading them. There are apparently lots of different ways to promote your site but none of them help out the smaller guys but instead are tailored to the need of the larger, more established blogs. To get around this I have decided to adopt an idea from John chow.com and feature a selection of different links in exchange for a post about this site on your blog. The post does not have to be long (anything over 100 words is more than enough) and it will help you get linked from other blogs, increase your technorati rating, improve your Google rank because of link backs, and the most important factor, create more long term readers for your blog.
There are only a couple of requirements that I ask you meet before I will link back to you. They include:
1. You must use this link when linking back to my page but you can place whatever text you would like the link to be displayed as.
<a href=”http://jeffreymunro.com” alt=”A torrent release blog for movies, music, and tv shows, technology information, random rants, and anything else you can think of”>Place Link Text Here</a>
2. The post must can be either positive or negative but please do not bash me too bad as there would be no real reason to give you a link back.
3. The post must be a minimum of 100 words.
4. You must make the post before I provide you with a link back (you will be able to choose the text that links back to your site etc…) This is great if you want to increase your Google placement for a couple of particular keywords.
5. You must link back the main site address as well as the address this post ( here ) within your post
After these simple requirements are meet I will post a link to your website within 24 hours. I am hoping I will be able to populate a list by tomorrow night so be sure to get your links in quickly so that you are part of the first batch!! To submit your link please e-mail me at jeffmunro@gmail.com and include the following information. Name, blog name, blog url, link to blog post about jeffreymunro.com, text you would like I link back to your site with. Make the title of the e-mail ‘2007 Link Exchange’. Thank you very much and let the exchange begin!
