I Can’t Believe I Ate The Whole Thing

Ok – so tonight I finished signing up for all of those sites. I’m tired. And I’m glad I did it. The exercise did me good in realizing how much time it will take summiting my blog to the various engines. Can any one say “automation”?

Free Link Building: Worth It?

I used a list provided by a free link builder that I discovered on the web (and has been mentioned before by my mentor) and on the Warrior Forum. Now that I have signed up for everything on that list, here is what I found:

  • Total Number of Sites: 49
  • Total Number of Dead Sites: 16

16? Yep. That’s bad. Of those 16, they were either:

  • Dead sites
  • Produced errors (one had PHP errors, another Drupal errors)
  • Would not take new members
  • Had nothing to do with link generation

All in all, I was disappointed. I’m glad I didn’t go through the entire process a few nights ago. I mean, it took me two nights just to get this far (33 sites).

So What’s Next?

Well, tomorrow night, I’m going to do some submissions and see where that gets me. It will also be time to post Article #5 for the blog, with a reminder that over the next two weeks I need to get at least four more articles out there.

Automation?

I have a sneaking suspicion that I will need to automate this process. But let’s see how the manual process does first.

Best wishes, hold your head high, and Control Your Destiny.
