Hey guys I just wrote an article about all the blogs or sites offering a free backlink in exchange for short review and backlink. Check out my list. There is one PR7 blog and a lot of PR5 blogs. http://www.blackrockideas.com/free-backlinks-all-blogs-offering-backlink-and-review-programs/ I hope it helps everyone out. Digg love is appreciated as well. http://www.digg.com/tech_news/Free_Backlinks_All_Blogs_Offering_Backlink_and_Review_Programs
Very sad to see that Blogskinny.com didn't make your review... I guess it's a big Internet and we're only a PR 3. We offer a back-link for a short-while after you sign-up and then ways to get free advertising through trades (writing short posts, affiliate links, etc). BTW - We also have a list of 220 Blog Directories at our site that people have also been using for free promotion and back-links. Hope it helps.
Purdue, I was only focusing on sites or blogs that offer backlinks in exchange for reviews or links to their site. If this article is successful I'm going to be compiling other sites with different offers for backlinks. So I'll keep your site in mind for the next article.
Do i just write the reviews at my blog and then contact them for a link letting them know about my review
Meads, That's all you need to do. Some of them don't offer an email just a contact form or leave a comment on the original thread.
Bloglignt.ning -(the social network for bloggers in my sig) lets you get backlinks from the forum and from starting up a free blog there.
