The Myshingle Blogroll is coming down. I thought we were supposed to be moving towards socialism where everything in life is free?
But for those with legitimate content and something legitimate to say, Myshingle offers an even better alternative. It is running two contests with real prizes including a free computer. If you want a legitimate backlink from Myshingle, you’ll have to break out your writing tablet!
Carolyn raises an interesting point. Most people don’t want to work for SEO results. At the end of the day, the Google algorithm and blogosphere sifted out the legitimate content providers, from those who are simply looking for a marketing shortcut.
As part of my overhaul, my Other Shingles blogroll will come down from the front page. I may create a stand alone page for it, or adopt the submit yourself option that Grant recently implemented as his site. For the time being, however, the best way to gain exposure at my site is to earn it! I am running two contests — an essay contest (with a choice of Why I (a Solo/Small Firm/Independent) Lawyer Matter or How Technology Has Improved the Way I Serve Clients and/or Practice Law) and Twitter the Day Away. These are real contests, with real prizes – an Asus computer or bottle of wine (not just a free ebook or even a copy of my book, Solo by Choice). You'll get a by-line in the post header that is likely to wind up on the first page of Google search ranking (of course, this isn't a guarantee) And I'll publish all the essays that I deem worthy, not just the eventual winner.
Do you want to prove yourself as a top legal thinker and blogger? Submit something for Carolyn’s contest and you’ll get notoriety and link juice all rolled up into one.
Note that submissions are due on December 23, 2008 with winners picked on January 2, 2009.
