Credibility Marketing Tactics For Building Links

Aziz over at hashout has an interesting idea for generating links. If another blog writes about him or one of his posts and links back to the hashout blog he will in turn link back to you. From a credibility perspective what I like about his approach is his up front honesty about what he is doing and why. He wants links to increase his search status which adds credibility and of course drives traffic. Why not… I'll play.

One caveat I will add is that in order to do strategies like this you should have a good product to start with. Aziz’s hashout site is great (in fact check out the post about the alarm clock that runs away from you!). He also has some good rules that eliminate the not so serious bloggers.

Here is the complete post: 

Time for some link love - review or comment about Hashout on your blog or website and get the honour returned

by Aziz on Sunday, April 15, 2007

As part of my link building strategy, I am hereby kicking off the review this blog campaign. You can not only review HashOut but also you can write or comment about any of the posts on HashOut on your blog or website and link back to it using appropriate link phrase, to get a mention of your blog or website and a link back to your post from Hashout, at the end of the campaign. Not just that! The first 10 reviewers / commentators will get a full fledged review of their blog or website on HashOut!

Here are some basic rules:

 1. You must some where in the post, link back to this post and

2. Link back to the homepage (http://hashout.blogspot.com/) or a post on hashout which you are writing about, using Anchor text only. Do not link back using "Hashout" or "http://hashout.blogspot.com/" as the anchor text. Either use the title of the hashout post, you are writing / commenting about, as your anchor text or be creative and use keywords relevant to the hashout post as your anchor text.

3. In order to avail the first 10 reviews offer, your blog needs to be atleast a month old or have a minimum of 30 posts. Sorry, you just can't expect a review of an empty blog or website.

4. Submit your entries along with your name, a link to your post and any other information that you may want included in the link to your blog by April 30, 2007 to  the email address given in the "about" section
