The Affiliate Marketing/SEO/SEM Link Carnival July 6, 2007
Posted by Andrew Wee in : Internet Marketing , trackbackSocial Marketer Michelle MacPhearson probably best known for the Badder Adder MySpace friend adder has tagged me in this link carousel which originated from Alex from howtospoter.com.
 copy and paste the Reciprocal Review Carousel and instructions below this line â€â€
Reciprocal Review Carousel idea is based on a few simple yet effective link-building and blogging techniques I have learned:
- Build value of the blog by creating a helpful link from within content.
- Provide value to community by doing a review on a blog you personally like.
- Link to YOUR blog has exact anchor text you want and helps you boost Google Rankings.
- No more than 30 outbound links from any page to prevent penalties for link farming.
- Viral effect of the link – as more bloggers participate, link to your blog with YOUR anchor text, coming from quality content post will spread.
Here is How to participate:
- Copy the entire text between the specified lines.
- Create a post on your site and put at least one paragraph explaining how you joined the Reciprocal Review Carousel.
- Paste the text you copied into your post.
- Remove the Bottom Review and At the Top add your own review with a link to a site reviewed, at least 2 sentences about the site and a note – Reviewed by: Your Anchor Text. Link your anchor text to your site. Here is an example:
WordPress Web 2.0 Guide is a blog providing very useful information on building your very own Web 2.0 portal based on WordPress. Detailed instructions and howto guides make it possible for anyone to create a sparkling and engaging blog and join the community of like-minded individuals. Reviewed by: WordPress Web 2.0 Spot-er

Ha, you posted it right when I was heading off to Affiliate Summit. Mhhh. the one alert did not see this post of your. I got an alert today. Weird.
Anyhow. Thanks for the plug, but I won’t take part into this Link Carnival. There are things I like about the concept, but there are also some that make me not like it. Keep also in mind that ReveNews.com and SEJ are not my blogs where I can post whatever I like. I am not policed, edited or censored. The owners trust my judgement and I was only asked twice so far to edit some of the content and only once that I decided that the original version should be kept public somewhere and then put it on my personal site (which the edited version referencing to it).
I hope you understand that and will not be mad at me.
