Viralink – Get Some Backlink Love From Bloggers Just Like You
TheSpotter on May 31st, 2007Links from quality sites determine your worth in terms of Search Engine popularity and relevancy. It is a well known fact that unless your site or blog gets some quality [tag-tec]backlinks[/tag-tec] – any popularity you might be gaining with each new post is short lived.
I have experienced it time and time again and the only way to stay ahead of the game is to get some quality sites link back to you consistently. And I’m not talking about link farms, links exchange sites or anything of the similar type. I’m talking about a New Concept – Viralink.
Read details and for possible participation.
I have run into this concept on Andy Coates website and it is quite a bit different form what I have previously seen. As such I have decided to join the ball game. Read more details on Andy’s Site and participate by copying / pasting information below to your site:
———copy and paste the Viralink and instructions below this line———
Below is a matrix of 120 stars, I have already added a link to my blog onto one of the stars, all you need to do is copy and paste the grid into your blog and add your own link to one of the other spare stars, and tell others to do the same!
Viralink
********************
********************
********************
********************
********************
********************
When I receive a ping back once you have added the Viralink to your site I will add your link to this grid, and each person who copies the grid from here will also link to your site!
Rules
No Porn Sites
Only 1 link per person (i.e don’t hog the viralink!)
Please don’t tamper with other peoples url’s
Enjoy!
———copy and paste the Viralink and instructions above this line———
How It Works
Just so it is easier to see how this actually works, below is an example of the linking tree. If 3 people copied the above grid into their own browser, added their link and 3 other people copied from them these are the number of backlinks which would be received witht he centre light green circle being this page.

And if the procedure was repeated and each new person told 3 of their friends, the back links travel back to the source they were added!

And once again as word gets around and the link tree develops the number of backlinks grows greatly! So at this stage my blog would have 93 backlinks from only 4 levels of “saturation” and by level 5 your blog will also have 93 backlinks if you decide to take part.

Here are how the numbers add up, I will use the term saturation to describe the spread of the Viralink with Zero being your blog 1 being 1 link down, 2 being 2 links down and so on.
Saturation - Backlinks
0 - 0
1 - 3
2 - 12
3 - 39
4 - 93
5 - 336
6 - 1065
7 - 3252
8 - 9813
9 - 29,496
10 - 88,545
The above numbers rely on 3 people copying and pasting the Viralink onto their blog and that being replicated 3 times continuously 10 times. I think you will agree that the numbers are quite staggering, there are 119 spaces left on the Viralink from this page and I expect that there will be allot of clones which begin to pop up. The best strategy with this is to start early and tell all of your blog partners!
You may be wondering what happens if you are at the end of the chain when the Viralink is full ? What would be the benefit to me? Well there is no reason why you cant add another line of dots to the bottom and keep the process going, or even start another form scratch.

Hi Alex, indeed, the concept of the Viralink by Andy is great and it works very well. But you should see how well ViralTags is working. The ViralTags concept is from Jimmy Huen from Founders Cafe and it is similar to Viralink. Just it uses linktext instead of stars. You can find more information on his website: http://founderscafe.com/

Torsten,
I have seen that and have decided not to participate at this time. One thing at the time. I liked the viralink because it was new, same as technorati favs train. I’m sure many more people will come up with ways to replicate the idea but I don’t think I’ll be part of them
I like to be part of something new. Thanks for the comment though. Perhaps other people will find it useful.

Hi,
Just to let you know that since a week now I added ViraLinks to a couple of my blogs, NEWS & RIFLESSIONI and A Copywriter’s Blues. The matrix displays on the sidebar. So, if you don’t mind adding me, I’ll also fave you on Techorati as soon as I see your linkback…
Alex
P.S.: As soon as I will get response from all links, I will add Viral Tags as well

Thanks “cotojo”
And and enjoy your weekend as well!
I do need to add one thing: anyone participating in viralink, viral tags etc. perhaps mind find interesting this article. There are few things that can damage your blog rankings instead of helping it. It is only my musings but they are based on several years of expirience as a webmaster.

Hi Alex, tell me please: why in the 3 rd picture the sum is “93″?
Look here: 39*3+3=120!
Means that saturation list will be like this:

0 - 0
1 - 3
2 - 12
3 - 39
4 - 120
5 - 363
6 - 1092
7 - 3279
8 - 9840
9 - 29,523
10 - 88,572
