Gorilla Link Love

Well in the spirit of the trend started by Jason of Gorilla Sushi and following the controversy created by Sam the Self Proclaimed Internet (myspace spammer) marketer of somewhere.blogspot.com. Can’t put the link because Sam is afraid of the mighty wraith of Google and what a few links on a single blog page may do. I also removed Sam’s link from the grid. So for everyone but Sam, here is a little Gorilla Link Love.

I have reposted the mighty page of entrecard widget cards. If you are an entrecard user and you have a link on the following page then you should re-post it too. This is one of the best examples of viral linking I’ve seen. Some may call it a link farm page, but its not really.

Its a way for everyone who participates to increase the Technorati rank of all blogs in the system.This in turn should increase the traffic to those sites which in turn will mean more effective advertising for people in the Entrecard system. The more its posted the better it is for everyone.

I had to name this action Gorilla Linking instead of Viral Linking or Link Bait or what ever you choose to call the practice, that most if not all A-list bloggers participate in, in honor of Jason’s excellent idea. If you want more traffic then take a few minutes and post this huge list of images on your own blog. By the way there is nothing, but a huge 1300( well 1299 now that I took out Sam’s image) of images pointing to all the blogs in the Entrecard system at the time the grid was built below the more link. Open it if you want, but it may take a while to load. :-)

  1. I’ve put it up here:

    Also without Sam.

  2. You know this is not a bad idea. I’ve got a few blogger blogs around I could post this code too also. Most of them are tech related so it would fit right in with the theme.

    Thanks for the idea.

    Thanks for the link :) Can I copy the script? thanks a lot

  4. I’ve created a monster!! :) Thanks for the link (I appreciate every single one I get)!

  5. @Joan, Absolutely. I’ll even send you the actual code so you don’t have to find it in the source. Just send me a Entrecard message with an email address to send it to.

    @Jason, yes you have :-) Of course I’ve been looking for something to call link posts and now thanks to you I finally have it. Gorilla Linking. Who knows it may catch on and you’ll be famous.

    Seriously the only monster I’ve seen so far is the one posting on the Entrecard forums about this topic. Perhaps if all the energy was put into a creating a blog with actually useful content instead of total rants then I would start reading it. :-)

  6. Calling link posts “Gorilla Links” is a better idea than you can imagine! That’s what I call my link posts (once a month or so) and I get a TON of traffic to them. Why? Because there’s a porn site called gorillalinks.com and I get their search engine leftovers. :)

  7. Interesting Jason, learn something new everyday :-)

    Perhaps I’ll just leave the Gorilla Links Love as the text. Might bait a few of those surfers a little more :-)
