I Spent at least two hours last night doing web site promotion using AddWeb and LinkMarket. I added the remaining sites to the linkmarket free section, that makes 8 linkmarket accounts so far. I also accepted some trades with AddWeb and initiated some new ones. While using LinkMarket, I noticed some article submission sites, from my previous reading I remember somebody saying that article submission is a good way to get quality one way links to your site. Of course, by now you've noticed that I'm not much of a writer.
I guess I could write an article on software development, the state of java or something. Ann could write a
travel article and I could talk Stacey into writing an entertaining for the holidays and or planning a sleigh ride for the
recipe and
Christmas sites.
So far, I've been using Nucleus for this blog, but I've noticed that the templates/skins available for some of the other blog engines are much nicer. I'm thinking of switching over to wordpress or serendipity. I'd tried both of these in the past month, but dismissed them because they were not as capable for multiple independent blogs. However, that was when I planned on doing the entire GoCurious empire on one installed piece of software. Since this is just for Project Adsense, I should really take another look at those packages.
A word about link trading
At this point I am getting more link request from my free linktrader account than I am for my paid AddWeb account. I wish I could say it's as easy to manage them, but it isn't. Let me give you an example.
If I got 50 new trade requests from AddWeb and I wanted to add them all to my website, I could do this in about 5 minutes. AddWeb generates the full link page for your links every time, all I need to do is upload it to my web site (my site already statically links to that page).
If I got the same 50 requests from LinkMarket I can build links 10 at a time (for the paid account, one at a time for the free account), but I need to copy those to my own page. They are not nicely formatted, linkmarket leaves that up to you. I wish that linkmarket would have an option (even in the paid version) to keep track of all your links and gen the full link pages for you. Maybe they'll do this in the future. Or, maybe I need to start my own free link trading service with that functionality.
Did I mention that I added Project Adsense to the linkmarket, I also submitted Project Adsense with AddWeb's uber submission software. Who knows, in a month or two, perhaps somebody will be reading this!
