I just started offering a free embed code that people can use to embed our chat rooms into their website. It has webcams and voice chat in it as well and just wondered if you guys thought if this is a good way to build backlinks or not. Here's the embed code: <br><a href="http://www.oohya.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=85&Itemid=1">Click Here to embed OohYa Chat in your profile.</a></br> <br><p><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="always" allowNetworking="all" height="425" width="525" data="http://www.oohya.net/123flashchat/client/123flashchat.swf?init_root=http://www.oohya.net/123flashchat/client/"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /> <param name="allowNetworking" value="all" /> <param name="movie" value="http://www.oohya.net/123flashchat/client/123flashchat.swf?init_root=http://www.oohya.net/123flashchat/client/" /> </object><br /> <a href="http://www.oohya.net">Free Chat Rooms</a> Let me know what you think.
Its a good way if you are looking for backlinks from chat related sites and you can actually generate any backlinks. How many backlinks did you get so far?
I don't think I've gotten any yet, I just posted it in the content and freebies section here so not sure if anyone has used it yet or not. My problem is being a general online chat and community site I don't really have a webmaster userbase so I don't really build many natural backlinks from our users. I thought this might be a good way to get around that problem if anyone actually has any interest in it. Any ideas of where I can post this to get people to actually use it?
It's not a bad idea. If you can find interested webmasters it can give you many link backs. How about targeting bloggers they could add your code as a way to chat with their visitors like a chat box. Of course it depends on how much control they have on the rooms you're offering. Or maybe you could target webmasters that want to offer free chat rooms on their sites.
