"Is it heard from a friend … heard it from a friend … it from another …" REO Speedwagon

Part 1 can be found here (and part 2 will not make much sense if you have not read Part 1).

Part 1 chronicled my "failed" attempt, my personal memories of Marvin Gaye's 1983 NBA All-Star Game National Anthem Linkbait. At the end of this story I wrote that I promised to start the process all over again … linkbaiting the various forms of social media use in order toAttention to, what I wrote. I would like the progress I have made to report:

First I wrote a story to write about a story: linkbaiting publication of my original article on Search Engine Guide launched linkbaiting my current campaign. Search Engine Guide SEM is one of the most prominent websites in existence, and I knew that every story published, it would be highly visible, not only in our industry, but on the network as a whole. However, there wereother good reason why I shared my experience in Search Engine Guide …

I needed to appear credible with people who could further my goals: In my Linkbait strategy development, I identified a certain blogger was clear that the best of my efforts to be objective. I was sure that he left of many requests from people he never learned to know, so I knew that in order to be successful, I have to be:

• Very nice and polite

• knowledge about him and his blog

•Authoritative

Linking to my original Search Engine Guide history (along with my name-dropping from the folks at ESPN.com and The Sporting News that I was in contact with), there are far more likely that he would consider my request. A possible link partners, the fact that Search Engine Guide, a respected industry website would publish a story about my experiences gave me a tremendous amount of credibility.

We thank Henry Abbott … ESPN NBA Blogger: Henry'sfreelance TrueHoop blog banner was of such high quality that ESPN hired him continue blogging in the NBA as part of ESPN. My e-mail to Henry succeed me has mentioned the following TrueHoop (although better link text would have been nice). In my email, I made sure to mention prominently that we were both great Portland Trail Blazer fans … I wonder whether it helped? I had awesome Transportation tag was Henry's column.

Others followed Henry's Lead: Soon after Henry connected with me, others(Bumpshack.com, Cantstopthebleeding.com) did as well … People who positively identified truehoop me through the link. Both locations continue to generate traffic for my story.

Other techniques I use:

PPC: Minimum bids for the corresponding long-tail keywords do you take me on the first page of Google / Yahoo / MSN SERPs and generate more visitors per day.

Wikipedia: Although no link juice is passed on my website, I'm still 5-10 visitors per day fromWikipedia.

Reciprocal linking / Leaving Relevant Blog Comments: I've done a bit of both, and keep on looking for more application possibilities in these areas. I found using Google News Alerts, a new link to employment opportunities.

MyBlogLog: I have the following MBL profile only for the marketing of my story. Everything that I have done is to blow the code on the page and forget about it … But I know that MBL build to help me, links to, if I have time to be able to work with him.

Answering e-mail:Some people have asked me via e-mail about the event and I have answered their questions to the best of its ability.

Results so far:

Currently I am) on page 2 of Google and page 1 of MSN Search for "Marvin Gaye National Anthem" (without quotation marks. I'm getting steady if unspectacular market for the story and I'm slowly but surely generating links from relevant persons.

I have decided that the End Game "will be for my story," an exercise in trying toPredictive search engine optimization. February 2008 is the 25th Anniversary of the Anthem Marvin's brand and at a certain time before that date, the number of people looking for information about the event Spike will be very. If my story on page1 of the SERPs position (Natural & Paid) + get the corresponding recognize "linkerati" what I wrote, perhaps my memory may be part of the collective social re-evaluation of the special moment. If I'm not in my aim, at least Igive comfort that I enjoyed my experience and make friends with like-minded people on the trip.

I never thought that I write about the same topic as Thomas Dolby …

   Nice read, to get the linkerati to link to you the easiest way (I find) like you said is to get a well known face within that niche to mention you and ideally drop the first link. The body follows the snake.
