linkdip

Another member of the growing linkdip community has covered linkdip on their blog.  Jason Fox does a nice job of explaining some of the important elements when it comes to SEO and how linkdip can help you grow your SEO pretty easy.

From Jason’s Post:

What is the Free SEO Tool?

It is a website called Linkdip.  It is FREE.  It is pretty easy.  It will get your Blog or Website Votes.  IT IS NOT AUTOMATED.  That means you do have to login and ask for what you want.  You also need to return the favor.

Is This Manipulating the System?

It could be.  But, there are other business minded people on this site that provide great content and run AWESOME blogs.  DON’T SHARE CONTENT YOU DO NOT THINK IS GOOD!

There is plenty of great content on the site that you can share in return without sacrificing your values.

Thanks to Jason for helping spread the word about linkdip!  My personal favorite part of his post?  This one:

DON’T SHARE CONTENT THAT YOU DO NOT THINK IS GOOD.

Amen.

Maybe taking out ad space on Shoemoney’s blog isn’t a bad idea after all.

One recent linkdip user found us through our banner campaign on Shoemoney’s site and after he created an account, logged in and started using it, shared his thoughts with the world on his blog BloggingDudes.com.

An excerpt:

Within linkdip I found a cool little community. It’s pretty simple to join and then register your sites on the system. The basic premise is that people request Facebook likes, Twitter tweets and retweets, Google +1′s, diggs and links to URLs and sites that they want promoted.

There is no paid linking or “click farming”…it’s just a simple request. You’re under no obligation to do so. When someone requests one of those social media actions you can go to the URL and check it out. If it calls out to you then you can do whatever they requested that you do….if it doesn’t then you don’t have to. Pretty simple and fair.

I’ve mostly requested “+1′s” for my stuff so far and the response has been pretty nice. People do request links but I haven’t done so yet. I just haven’t found the URL or topic that I could link to on any of my blogs and I definitely don’t want to just start throwing up unrelated links on any of my blogs. That would be suspicious and cheesy.

The main reason I like linkdip is the relaxed atmosphere. You don’t have to do what you don’t want to do. It’s that simple. Another reason I like linkdip is that because I am pretty big on Twitter and Google +, but rarely do I much with Facebook and Digg on any of my sites. I don’t know why…but they just don’t call out to me like the others. However, there are people on linkdip that have pretty large Facebook followings and do a lot with Digg. So, I can leverage their social media footprint with mine and get the best of both worlds..and vice versa.

A few highlights we liked in his review:

• There is no paid linking or “click farming” … its just a simple request.
• You are under no obligation to do what people request.
• If you see something someone requests and like it, you are free to fulfill the request — or not.

If you add those three things up: making requests, analyzing requests, acting on requests — that is the essense of what so many people today are referring to as web curation.

linkdip makes web curation actionable and fun.
