Ok you guys might find this interesting... Considering running some sort of viral backlink system I'd like to have free product contest, for 2 reasons a. a mailinst list, and b. i'd like to make to that if they copy our nicely keyworded text link/with refereal code.. and place them on sites and in sigs, they get an extra point or something similar towards winning the giveaway. Would backlings in random place like forums, personal sites etc hurt or help. Do you think they would be viewed as spam if they contained referal code in the, etc.. Hopefully you follow me and see the potential gains or spam flags thanks
What type of products/services do you offer? It should help. To what degree depends on the sites linking to you.
it's automotive performance industry specifically nitrous oxide , also have a diesel performance one as well thanks for any advice, you don't see it hurting, is it actually a good idea?
I don't think it will ever hurt. Best thing is to give it a go and see. Make sure you have everything set up to make a good assessment of the results though!
Having people link to your site? It won't hurt There have been many SEO contests before in the past, with sites gaining top rankings for contest keyword terms.
