Case Study B: “Exceptionally Easy”

Let’s take Site B, which is a blog about a unique topic–the type of blog I made because I thought, ‘I bet there’s a blog about Widget-man, seeing as how he’s a world leader’, then I searched and there wasn’t–thus there was an implied demand for it (assuming that some people out there think like me). I spent two months adding good content, and then, again, I give it the normal link building work-over:

I submit to 27 Web directories
I submit to 3 niche industry directories which I find on Google
I write a short press release and submit to PRWeb and PRLeap
I write a cheesy article, “4 Things You Don’t Know About Widget-man” and submit to EzineArticles http://ezinearticles.com/ and the like
I pay my pet monkey to grab two dozen recips or triangulars from related sites
I skip the rented links this time–the site’s non-profit!
I pray the site gets meme’d, and head to the pub for a celebratory drink with Jimbo
