Hop on the Link Lovin Train!

I’ve seen this posted on a few blogs recently…

Viralinks and ViralTags

It is a simple way to gain some link love with quality back links to your site. Viralinks and ViralTags seem to be gaining in momentum as a way to get some link love and possibly help with your PR.

Of course, this might get you the links, but good quality content is always what’s going to keep your readers coming back for more.

In any event, I thought I’d give them both ago…could be fun!! Please follow along and join one or both of the matrix’ shown below.

The Viral Links is coming from How to Spot-er, he joined from Andy-Coates.com (check out Andy’s site for more information).

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!

When I receive a ping back once you have added the Viralink to your site I will add your link to this grid, and each person who copies the grid from here will also link to your site!

Rules
No Porn Sites
Only 1 link per person (i.e don’t hog the viralink!)
Please don’t tamper with other peoples url’s
Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Viral Tags are very similar to Viral Links except that you add some anchor text instead of just an asterisk. You are limited to 3 words for your link so the matrix doesn’t get out of control huge.

I found Viral Tags on Super Blogging. Jimmy Huen from FoundersCafe came up with this matrix. Give it a try. You might be pleasantly surprised at the results…

======Copy and Paste below this line======

Instructions:

1.) Copy and paste the matrix of “ViralTags” below courtesy of Founders Cafe.

2.) Substitute the Host Tag and one of the “Viral Tags” in the matrix with your anchor text of choice with your blog’s URL. Please keep anchor text to a max of 3 words to keep the matrix size manageable.

3.) When you get a ping back from someone that has your link in one of their “Viral Tags”, practice good karma by copying his/her Host Tag’s anchor text (automatically the associated link will also be copied) and paste it over one of your “Viral Tags” below.

4.) Encourage and invite your readers to do the same and soon this can grow virally.

Once I get a ping back from you, I will add your anchor text and the associated link you designate as “Host Tag” here, replacing one of the “ViralTags” from the matrix above. As more and more bloggers copy and paste this matrix, the more backlinks you will have with your anchor text. If everybody who copy and paste from your blog does the same, pretty soon this will spread and go viral. So, the sooner you participate, the more links with anchor text you will receive.

How It Works
Just so it is easier to see how this actually works, below is an example of the linking tree. If 3 people copied the above grid into their own browser, added their link and 3 other people copied from them these are the number of backlinks which would be received witht he centre light green circle being this page.

And if the procedure was repeated and each new person told 3 of their friends, the back links travel back to the source they were added!

And once again as word gets around and the link tree develops the number of backlinks grows greatly! So at this stage my blog would have 93 backlinks from only 4 levels of “saturation” and by level 5 your blog will also have 93 backlinks if you decide to take part.

Here are how the numbers add up, I will use the term saturation to describe the spread of the Viralink with Zero being your blog 1 being 1 link down, 2 being 2 links down and so on.

Saturation - Backlinks

0 - 0
1 - 3
2 - 12
3 - 39
4 - 93
5 - 336
6 - 1065
7 - 3252
8 - 9813
9 - 29,496
10 - 88,545

The above numbers rely on 3 people copying and pasting the Viralink onto their blog and that being replicated 3 times continuously 10 times. I think you will agree that the numbers are quite staggering, there are 119 spaces left on the Viralink from this page and I expect that there will be allot of clones which begin to pop up. The best strategy with this is to start early and tell all of your blog partners!

You may be wondering what happens if you are at the end of the chain when the Viralink is full ? What would be the benefit to me? Well there is no reason why you cant add another line of dots to the bottom and keep the process going, or even start another form scratch.

Thank you to Andy Coates and Jimmy Huens for putting these together.

Let’s all get some link lovin!

Expect the Best,

Stumble it!

The owner sat on this property for 54 years and although they will still make money on the sale, they would have made much more if the property came on the market say 2 years ago. Houses similar to this were selling for 400- 500k back in the early 2000…
