I feel like I’m flying. I have so much mapped out that I want to implement, my productivity has never been higher.
If you’ve read any previous posts, you know I’ve been working on some WordPress blogs. I’ve moved into the promotion phase on a number of them. Time to build backlinks!
I’ve already “stumbled” each blog on StumbleUpon. As expected, I got a bunch of traffic fairly quickly and then that ended. There were just a few adsense clicks too. StumbleUpon was true to its reputation of offering a quick flash of traffic and very little clicking. That’s okay. I have a link (I think!)
Getting set up on 3WayLinks.net was next. I really like the concept and it’s all laid out well — just submit your websites and it automatically builds backlinks for you. Ran into a roadblock with the content on one of my blogs. 3WL declined to accept the blog into its network, claiming it is not “family friendly.”
That’s a head scratcher. The theme of the blog is marriage, specifically promoting a clickbank product. The articles focus on “saving my marriage” with love, respect, and good communication within the relationship. How is that not family friendly? There appears to be no recourse. I must admit it bugs me.
While I’d recommend 3WayLinks, I know it will take me places, but if you decide to sign up understand ahead of time that there is some interesting censorship on which websites are acceptable and which are not. My “psychic” themed site was refused several months ago on the grounds that the content is religious. I had an easier time understanding that one.
I have a gardening themed blog in my master plans, too. It’s a little ahead of schedule, but I get to be a beta tester for a gardening datafeed store created by Dave Wooding. He appears to be a pretty talented programmer. Dave has installed the initial layout and is now in the process of refining the look and functionality of the store as feedback comes in. You can check out an example at davewooding.com/garden.
This is fun. Have a good one!
