NoFollow and a Four Hour Work Week
This is something I meant to get around to about two weeks ago. One of my favorite bloggers, Prija of Blogging, The Movie (also fondly known as the Sneaky Bastard) pointed out that link trains and their ilk are technically “link Schemes” and as such, they are frowned upon by Google. But then, what does not Google not frown upon?
Ponder that one, my friends.
Keeping firmly within all said guidelines, Prija manned the engine and started a NoFollow Link Train contest. NoFollow is the key element here, but even more important is that the prizes include a copy of the 4-Hour Workweek book and some pretty hot exposure for your blog on the Blogging, The Movie website. So, without further ado:
***** Start Here ******
Prize
1. Free 4-Hour Workweek Book.
2. A chance to have a permanent link on front page of Blogging The Movie dot com.
3. Sign the Records Book as it travels to 10 different winners.
Contest
This contest is sponsored by BloggingTheMovie – A featured documentary about Bloggers. This contest contains no-follow links. So it is Google friendly and by creating an original introduction you won’t be dinged for duplicate content. This is an ongoing marketing campaign. There will be 10 winners at which each winner will be able to host their own contest which will be sponsored by Blogging The Movie. 1st Winner: Susan Suarez | 2nd Winner: Investing Adventures | 3rd Winner: Can be you!
Rules
1. Write an original short snippet introduction to avoid duplicate content.
2. Just copy the section between the start and end.
3. Add your 3 favorite blogs with rel=”nofollow” in between the link on the code page. i.e. <a href=”http://www.url.com/” mce_href=”http://www.url.com/” rel=”nofollow” target=”_blank” title=”url name”>URL.com</a>. This is extremely important to ensure that Google won’t ding us. Make sure you contact the bloggers and insist they participate so they can keep this going.
4. Email your URL of your blog post to Free4hourWorkweek@gmail.com
