One way links, the reward you get for great content and creativity at the blogosphere. You’ll do anything for it isn’t it? (The title was only an eye-catcher, so relax..)
Well, an idea just popped into me, while I was reading Michael Martine’s blog. Michael has a list of testimonials written on one of his sidepanels, and it has links to people who wrote it. It is on the homepage and has excellent screen presence. Get the idea??
Yes, writing testimonials about other bloggers would be one great way to get quality incoming one way links. No expense, no trick, nothing evil!
But what you need to be careful about is,
- Whom you are writing for.
Don’t go around writing testimonials for ever tom,*(beep)*, and harry. Write quality ones for the really good guys.
- Do they accept testimonials?
You can write testimonials only if some one is accepting them isn’t it? Find bloggers who accept testimonials, or who are likely to accept a testimonial.
- Don’t flatter them,but write a testimonial
Don’t simply go ahead and flatter them, it would create a negative image for you. Test their services/read their blog and go for a sincere review. I’m sure many of the professional bloggers would accept honest criticism that will help them grow. Anyone can make out flattery from the rest.
- Ask them a link back
If it’s got to be a win-win situation, ask them for a link back. There’s nothing wrong in it. If they are impressed with your testimonial, they’d be happy to link back.
Hey, anybody care to write a testimonial about DailySEOblog? What ? No takers?
you are getting too cool mani…guess the theme change works for you like the name changes for some of our bollywood or kollywood or tollywood actresses…
So why should you go for a good professional looking theme? It gives you the confidence to write great articles…!!!

Important thing is, it should be honest, well-written and they are backed up with facts and convincing examples. As you know,those online marketers have given testimonials or rather formulated testimonials a bad name.

I guess we can forget about popular blogs and A-listers - I don’t think they care whether they get a testimonial from a small time blogger.
To be honest, I haven’t come across many blogs that showcase testimonials. It doesn’t really serve any purpose. I can understand testimonials for sales pages but blogs are already there for all to see.

Google has implemented LSI and has already started shunting out link farms, and pointless paid links. For any SEO firm or webmaster, the most worthwhile ways forward are articles and other web contents.Yours article submission ensures that all incoming links to your site are ‘relevant, also ensure that your precious time and resources are not wasted on futile link building.You should constantly, review, verify and update all the links in directories.Try to maintain minimum 10 unique titles and 10 unique descriptions to avoid duplication of contents.
