The company advising  me on search engine optimisation showed me something interesting today.

Basically, you need to type the keywords you're interested in optimising and add the word add.url in Google.

You will then discover sites which discuss the keywords you're interested in and which allow you to add a URL
linking back to your site if you link to their site.

Link building is one of the basics of cross-marketing. See for example this ad on IntroNiche.

I stumbled on this great post by Nancy Sager from Marketing M.O.
It can basically be summarized as cross-promotion or joint-venture marketing 3.0., advanced class.
Enjoy! And feel free to apply these ideas on Introniche.com!

Anyway, it's harvesting time again....
