One Heck Of An Easy Way To Get A Link From Me

Hey, I've not really had any feedback on the PW ads here. I've mostly left them up as a placeholder for future ad spots that will likely be affiliate ads. But if someones really getting results they are happy with, I may leave them there. Though, I'm pretty sure at some point I'll kill the little buttons down there low in the side bar.

And, you are so right. People get so caught up in search traffic that they lose sight of the fact that there are so many ways to get traffic to your site that don't involve Google.

Thanks for the plug!

I appreciate the drop!

I'm going to take a pretty lax approach to linking in the comments here, especially as I'm moving to a more commentary type blog. More of what I think about stuff, ideas and tests, less hard tutorials and reviews.

But, at least give me a deep link to an interesting article, man! Don't just link to the same page you linked you name to in the comment. ;)

I mean since I'd certainly like folks to drop more rather than less, it kind of works for me that it's to your advantage to come by and drop again tomorrow or the next day, right?

Of course the link in your comment is nice and permanent.

in the "left" sidebar with the last nine drops. Also you can find the last eighty drops list here. http://danemorgan.com/recent-entrecard-drops

I'm not sure what percentage of all people with blogs is using the service, and I'd expect that that is a smallish number. On the other hand the number of bloggers using the service compared to the number of bloggers using any other given blogging service would definitely place Entrecard in the popular category.

Just look around for the big gold 'E' like the one on top of my side bar when you are surfing blogs and you be bound to start seeing it here and there while you read. Just be sure to hit the drop button when you do.

That actually reads like a pretty useful little utility for work at home types, but you know what would make it killer?

Store all of those work periods and break periods in a database and add in some reporting functions that would allow me to analyze my work and break habits over time. For bonus points let me create a report for a specific period so I can compare my activity during more productive periods versus less productive periods.

I'm a big believer in dofollow, and have been for a long time. Comments here are followed.

That said, it isn't to much of a reach to believe that Google can tell the difference between a link in a blog article and a blog comment. This is not to say that a comment link can not be valuable, but that if Google knows the difference, one in the article may be more valuable.

Hi Syed,

Thanks for coming by and for leaving a comment.

I don't do straight link exchanges as a rule, but Your blog is certainly in the right niche for an relational exchange. If you'd like to do a guest blog post and link back to your blog from it, I'd be happy to publish it.

One thing I would like to mention real quickly is that I understand the method you are using in your post on using Google alerts to find blogs posting about your keywords so that you can leave comments and get the link back from them. I do the same thing myself.

But I sure hope that most of your comments aren't simply asking for a link exchange as you did here. You'll get a lot more direct traffic if you actually post something that the folks reading the post would find a useful or helpful addition to the post.
