Free backlinks from very relevant pages

[compar]

If you want a couple of free links from a very relevant site here's a deal for you. Write a 500 to 1000 word article about your particular site's theme or market segement, emphasising the Internet relationship, and I will publish it in my InfoPool and give you the return links as part of the author credits.

Have a look at this article http://www.compar.com/infopool/articles/news27.html to see what another webmaster has done. This is the general size and format that I would like.

what if our niche is seo?

That's fine with me. I have published articles about SEO techiques by other authors.

The only thing I would refuse to do is publish that very annoying animated gif you uses as an avatar.

I find animated gifs so distracting that I tend not to read posts from people who use them. I just scroll past as fast as possible to get the distraction off the screen and out of my line of site.

If I had a forum I'd let you curse and swear and do anything else you would like, but I'd prohibit animated gifs in avatars.

Oh BTW I forgot to ask. Do you know anything about SEO?

If anyone does want to send me an article here is a very rudimentary submission form. You can email them to me at infopool.compar.com

so i could write you an article about my attempts to take over the world via my website and that will work?

I don't know what happened to the attachment in the last message. Hopefully I can get it attached to this message.

Ah I see the problem. The attachment is a ".txt" file and those attachments are not supported. Email me and I'll send you the form.

Sure. In a 1,000 words or less.

If it is more than 1,000 words make it a two part article and I'll publish both parts.

I don't want to publish garbage, and at the same time I don't want to spend hours editing every submission. So I ask everyone to use spell checkers and consider having someone proof read your article before you submit it.

If we keep the quality of the articles high it will benefit everyone.

Hey Compar, how do the evil popups on your site get past my Google toolbar popup blocker ???? Oh well, at least Mozilla still blocks them.

I'm still seriously considering your offer, but those popups.......

[dave conz]

Another quick question - what are your terms regarding exclusivity? Are you insisting on unique articles or can they be previously published?

Not that I want any of my articles duplicated so I would provide an original, but just curious.

Dave,

The evil popups are called Flyinads. I'd take them down but they drive a lot of traffic to a site that I am still struggling to get ranked highly by Google. The day I start to get more traffic from Google than via the flyinads I'll take them down.

The articles don't have to be unique. If they are really good I don't mind publishing them even though they might be available elsewhere. For instance the article on Anchor Text Optimization had been published elsewhere. In fact I read it in a newsletter. I nevertheless thought it was good enough to merit publishing.

What I do end up doing with most articles is adding heading. I think this makes them more readable and I guess it makes my presentation slightly different.

Email me at bob@compar.com and I'll send you my submission form.

Done. Can't guarantee when I'll get something written but I think you've got a good thing happening there so I'll get onto it as soon as I can.
