I requested links with a few thousand sites today in hope of getting some good links and in turn more visitors via keyword and or direct click through. I'm posting as of today for the sake of science to see how long it will take to get to the top of MSN and Google for a specific keyword. My link building campaign information. I will update the blog post or post another update in about two weeks or so.

I like experiments!

One thing though webspace. Your blog says you are targetting the keyword "amber", but I'm not sure this is going to be useful for you. What are the chances that someone searching for "amber" is looking for a web portal? Just wondered what the thinking was behind choosing that word.

Last month data as per overture

107898 amber

Thanks

If the only criteria for selecting keyphrases to target is the number of times that the phrase is searched for, why not target 'car'? That was searched for 3,243,911 times last month according to overture. Yes I know that 'amber' has a high search count, but shouldn't your chosen keyphrase have something to do with the products and services you offer? How many of the 107,898 people who searched for 'amber' were looking for a web portal?

It's just an experiment...

Yep, and this is just a discussion about that experiment. I was wondering whether there was some reasoning behind the choice of keywords that I wasn't aware of.

I won't learn if I don't ask questions

As an experiment, I would have chosen a keyword phrase that could be useful to me if it succeded.

Hi Kline

Where did you get the sites that you asked for links with. Did you just get email addresses off the internet or was it a list of addresses you already had?

I didn't ask for links at all, nor did I collect emails.
