Link Chains

Posted on May 28th, 2007 in SEO by Scott

One Thing which seems to spawn across the internet from time to time is Link Chains.  I first saw this with Dofollow link train.  Basically what a link train is is that one blogger posts a list of some sort or another with their link in it.  The next blogger picks up the list and inserts their own link.  On it goes with the list growing larger and larger and the bloggers at the front of the line getting a lot of backlinks.  (Kind of like a pyramid scheme where no one loses money)

There are various thoughts on link trains, some people like them, others hate them.   I’ve never tried one so I thought I’d give it a shot and report back the results on how well it worked.

Below is a matrix of 120 stars, I have already added a link to my blog onto one of the stars, all you need to do is copy and paste the grid into your blog and add your own link to one of the other spare stars, and tell others to do the same!

If you’ve never done a link train, why don’t you give this one a whirl, see how it works for you, and post here if you got positive results.

    Do you add backlinks to the people linking to you?

    To Everyone Using This Viralink

    Technorati seems to be experiencing problems at the moment, and my WP dashboard is not coming up with the pings which I’m getting.

    If it doesn’t get fixed soon I’ll dig into my Technorati Authority rankings this evening (Wednesday May 30th) to find which of you linked to me so I can add you to my matrix.

    If you want to make sure I get you regardless of Technorati bugs, drop a comment so I know where to link.

    Thanks
    Scott

    seethis-guthrie.blogspot on yours twice, once to the main blog and once to a post.

    I think I screwed mine up. *L*

    Thanks 2xKnight, you are correct

    I’m assuming he only wants it to his main blog, so i’ll take the other out
