Most of the companies who are looking for cross-promotion are to a certain measure interested in link building.

After all, link building is an essential ingredient for search engine optimisation.
Off course, like all ingredients, it should be added with moderation.

Here's a little free tip for everybody who wants to promote their blog (like we do).

I must have reviewed a couple of hundreds of cross-marketing classified ads untill now.

Time to share some best practices I've spotted:

Clear title - Specific cross-marketing offer - The right categories, with moderation

Hi there,

It seems the past efforts to get this website indexed are starting to pay off.

Today I spotted IntroNiche has Pagerank 2. 
Not a bad result for a website which has only been live for a month now.
We're not playing the Victoria & Albert Hall yet. But we're not hiding in the sewers either.

 Some things must have helped:

1) Regularily updating this very blog as a placeholder for IntroNiche.com -
    probably better than an "under construction" page. Content rules.

As told by my SEO agency ;-)

Nothing good ever comes for free. Neither does search engine optimisation.

• from 5 to 10 thousand and more for an initial year of search engine optimising
• from 200 a month to a nice percentage for your search engine advertising

How do you get the most for your money?
