Linkage & Attention

[gothwalk]

Right. I'm working up to doing some serious promotion on dukestreet.org - it's been around long enough for the search engines to pick up. What I'd like are links. Particularly links from sites that are not LJ. So if you run another blog, a newsletter, a review site, or what-have-you, I'd very much appreciate a link to dukestreet from it - where it's on-topic, of course. Don't feel compelled to add a link to it from your site about breeding angel fish, or the like.

However, I recognise that in the attention economy of the web, links are valuable. So if you'll link to my site, I'll write an article for it on a topic of your choice (within the topics covered by the site, of course) and link to yours in that, using any keywords you feel would be useful, and so on. If you add a link, and want an article, please comment below.

(While I'm doing dukestreet for fun, it's also part of an onging experiment to see how well a site can do by natural networking - I'm not doing anything to add it to search engines, not am I buying advertsing anywhere.)

although my blogspot a/c is nowhere near where I want it to be
some of my favourite links are Bibliophil.org, Bookcrossings.com, fantasticfiction.co.uk (one of my favourite sources for what my kind of authors have in print! However work in it's infinite wisdom has blocked it), scifan.com is a us version that I haven't trawled much but isn't blocked by work, godchecker.com; the encyclopedia mythica at pantheon.org, the gutenberg project... that's the ones that I think we have in common that appear on my links bar. I don't think you need Knitty or Neopets somehow 8)

Cheers, there's some good reading in those. What I'm looking for, though, is for people to put links TO dukestreet on their sites, rather than things to link from dukestreet (although I'll do that too, of course).

Yeah, I'm going to have to do that to the blogspot a/c, that is if I manage to work out how to do it. I'm tempted to ask someone else to do it but then I kinda want to learn it myself so I know why it's not working when it isn't and I can tweak it until I'm happy!

I can probably show you how next Thursday, if you haven't worked it out by then. :)

Thanks, may take you up on that!
