Results of My April Back Link Promotion

Friday Funny – For Geeks! Mourning the Loss of Life: Virginia Tech University

On April 4th, I ran a back link promotion. In short, if you wrote a review of my site, I’d give you a link in this summary post, as well as a link in my sidebar for 45 days. I was shooting for ten reviews and I got a whopping — three. Wah wah waaaaaahhhhhhh…

So why did I come up short? Well, I know I could have pushed the promotion harder by mentioning it in my posts, or perhaps running it a bit longer. A banner might have helped too. I think a back link to any site you want for 45 days plus a link back to your blog from this post was a pretty enticing offer. But maybe not enticing enough, what with the flurry of back link promotions going on these days. Also, I could have ran the promotion a bit longer in combination with the above.

In any case, the three people who participated in this promotion were: Julie from JuliesJournal, Jez of SiteLogic, and Bobs from ReformatThis. I invite you to check out their blogs, as well as the reviews they wrote. It’s always good to write constructive criticism too, if it applies, as I was grateful to see in Bobs’ review.

If any of you wrote a review of MsDanielle.com and forgot to link it to the post, let me know and I’ll get your links up too. Thanks to everyone who partipated and gave me some feedback!

Update (4/23): Thanks also to Darin Carter of Darin.cc for posting a review of MsDanielle. It missed the original deadline by a couple days, but here’s the review for you all to check out. Thanks Darin!
