15 Mar 09 Spreading Links Around!

Written by: resourceful

Searching the Gossimer Blog archives, our team noticed that there wasn’t a post specifically on links. This was great on our end because our team wants to continuously provide information that is in the best interest of our friends, clients and customers. And now that Gossimer has some new features, we would like to start spreading our links around!

Most people know that sharing interesting information is best done online with links. A lot of people send posts to their friends with a link embedded in the content. These are what you would call one way links. Links embedded between websites are mostly two way links because one way embedded links are mostly posted through advertisements. But what if there were a method of leaving a one-way link without having to pay an advertising fee?

Gossimer host some websites that do just that! Traffic.VG allows you to:

Post your ad links, get free traffic from unique IP address immediately!

NO registry, Absolute free, So easy!

It is split into two parts: Area V (Visit) and Area G (Generate). Unlike Pengs’ Reciprocal Links you can submit it without registering. Once you do, you get an automatic ID number for your ad. You can use this number to check who visited and also to earn points for visiting other links posted. It seems that the more points earned for your ID, the higher up your ad will appear on the link list.

This is a great way for spreading links around. Osman Trellit, on Chang Siu dot Com, describes one way links as the toughest to accomplish because “you are not returning any link to the site that links to you.” He goes on to say that a big SEO strategy involves popular links, researching keywords and special marketing for websites. I wonder if sites like Traffic.VG will change that? Submitting a link on such a website is one way (since the submitter doesn’t have to link to Traffic.VG) and yet, it is reciprocal in that the link becomes more popular the more links the submitter visits. It would be interesting to see this become a part of NoFollow Reciprocity.

If enough people were to submit one-way links or were to join the NoFollow Reciprocity movement, perhaps bigger websites would change their method of linking. If you don’t know much about the NoFollow Monstrosity click on these embedded links. If you do know about it, enlighten us and leave your opinion on Traffic.VG in a comment below. Thanks!
