Selling Links (or Selling Out?)
Believe it or not this blog is a PR5 blog. I never really put much thought to it but since I took on blogging as a world domination plan fulltime profession I’ve harnessed its PR5 magic more than a few times. It’s quite amazing I tell you. Now I’m no expert when it comes to SEO but how else would you explain techfresh.net jumping from PR0 to PR5 in less than a month? peepculture.com was even better at PR6 under the same time frame. I know it may sound like a dream but do you have a better idea? Google PageRank is like rocket science to me but it sure did me favors without having to fully understand it. Maybe I’m delusional but it seems now since we have a network of high PR blogs all our blogs are growing at a substantial rate. But we all need more traffic all the time, don’t we?
Well I came up with an idea. I’m sure I borrowed it from somewhere but I can’t remember now. What if I were to share my PR5 mojo with other people for a small token? I would spread the love with a nice outbound link and people can repay me with a few dollars or a link back. What do you think? No this isn’t an attempt to extort readers or anything, think of it as more of an experiment. If your ranking picks up in a few weeks/months (given you seek other incoming links from other sites too) you can pat me on the back and treat me Starbucks. If not you can stick a finger behind my back and get on with your life.
You know I didn’t mean that.
But anyway I’m more interested in what you guys think, rather than the actual execution of this idea. Would selling links help the blogosphere at large, or would it turn into another petty money scheme?
