A crazy week as usual. It was hard to find the time to put in my 16 hours this week. My wife is due any day, the comic book (Madman of Magic) my wife and me are working on, my laptop died, family is planning to come to see the baby, I signed a new contract for putting on animation workshops for the local schools, and …. Well that is all I remember I can remember, but I did find 16 hours to work on the Niche Site.
Still in the Middle of my BackLinking Strategy
I have figured out that attempting a backlinking strategy for the first time is very time consuming.
This tool makes it a little easier (it is free):

Some Notes on article directories:
These are links for my back linking strategy. If you don’t know what that is, please read my post from Week 5: Back links and Article Marketing
Sites that no longer work or cost money
- Article Dashboard now charges money.
- Article Blast said my account hasn’t been approved yet. It has been a few weeks and I still haven’t heard anything. I did have to submit examples of work, which is cool, but you think they would have contacted me by now.
- Aricle Alley said the email provider (gmail) is blocked. This is weird to block google email accounts, but I am not opening or using one of my website accounts for a backlinking strategy.
- Buzzle said external links are no longer allowed in Articles. I signed up and was about to post when I read this.
- The Free Library does not accept new articles at this time.
- iSnare says you can post an article and have your website on the article, but if you want it to link back (be clickable) then it costs money. I put one article on there just for the heck of it since I went through the trouble of opening an account, but I will not be posting any more.
