Link Fair: Calling Site Owners

[gothwalk]

I've been doing some SEO stuff in work, and one of the things we're finding interesting is link acquisition. It has occurred to me that I've never held a Link Fair on any of my blogs. It'd take a while to organise for The Wizard of Duke Street, but the more general Now Is A Long Time Too can probably run something useful immediately.

Therefore, in exchange for a link to and a bit of discussion of one of my blogs (choose from the list below), I'll put a link and some discussion of a site of your choice (preferably one you run yourself, rather than your employer's) on Now Is A Long Time Too. For anyone who's juggling the worthiness, it's currently ranked at 1,155,367 in Alexa, has an Authority of 39 in Technorati, and a Technorati Rank of 157,654. Links from it are therefore worth something in real terms - and I don't use the nofollow attribute.

My Blogs:

Now Is A Long Time Too: Technical, social, web culture, and some occasional bits of personal posting. Most of it's mirrored here on LJ, so you know the content.

The Wizard of Duke Street: Scifi, gaming, and fantasy, with an emphasis on Doctor Who, Torchwood, and MMORPGs.

How to Survive Winter: A blog about winter in the British Isles, and what you can do to get through it.

Rocking Grass: This is really inannajones' blog, about food and culture, but I occasionally post as well.

If you're putting up a link to one of those, comment here to let me know what site of yours to link to in the eventual Link Fair post. And if you know someone who'd like to participate, point them this way - this post is open. Obviously, I'd prefer you not to use the nofollow attribute, but I'll still link even if you do.

I just clicked through to your winter blog (which I'd not noticed before), if you want topics to cover, how about ways to deal with SAD other than sitting in front of incredibly bright lights? Too many of us suffer once the nights draw in..

An excellent one. I'll have to do some research on it - so far, apart from the suggestion of getting out into whatever natural light there is, and the light boxes, all I can find are some dietary recommendations of dubious quality. But I'll do some digging.

All further suggestions welcome, of course!

I hadn't known about the winter one either, and it looks cool. I posted there asking whether there's an LJ feed, but I'll mention it here as well. :)

Hmm, I wonder if any international students or businesspeople living in the British Isles might find HSW useful...

I just put up links to Now Is A Long Time Too and Rocking Grass on parhasard.net; please to be shouting if using your names there is inappropriate.

(Also, kudos on the organisation in the face of that accident, as everyone has said already — doesn't make it any less worth saying, though.)
