Announcement of Link Trader
I've got a big announcement, although unfortunately it's not really business related. But, I'll get to the announcement later.
Tonight, I went to another Loudoun SBDC seminar. Tonight's topic was about building a great website and was put on by VECTEC, a company that assists businesses with website development and e-commerce. Overall, I thought it was a pretty good presentation and went into a lot of detail about how to make a webpage easy to navigate and customer friendly. The amount of money spent on the internet is growing by leaps and bounds as the number of internet users (especially broadband users) increases exponentially.
Unfortunately, they didn't talk in specifics regarding two things that I wanted to hear about - incorporating a business blog into your business' website and search engine optimization. This (indirectly) leads me to the big announcement.
So, while I was sitting there thinking about what I was going to post on my business blog tonight, I started thinking about easy and efficient ways to get backlinks. I refuse to pay to get the links and going out, trolling site and sending emails begging for link exchanges was getting to be a pain. Then, it dawned on me: I needed to start another blog whose sole purpose was to quickly and easily facilitate link exchanges. So, my big announcement is The New Business Blog now has a younger sibling: Link Trader.
The premise behind Link Trader is simple; every couple of days I'll make post a tip regarding backlinks and people will post their URL and link text in the comment section of each post, the rule being if you leave your link for others to take, you have to backlink to other sites that have already commented. If several people have posted, you can go in, look at their sites and then backlink to the three or four you liked the most.
I think it's a fair deal, and hopefully it'll be an easy, stress free way of helping people get backlinks to their sites or blogs.

I see that you have moved up in ranking #153!!! Several of my friends have e-mailed/spoken to me that they checked out your site. They are all very interested in what type of business you are creating! I told them that your announcement would be forthcoming. Regarding this blog entry --- I think I need an Idiot's Guide to figure out what you were saying!!! Obviously, I am not technology literate!!! Keep up the great work!!!
