For some people this may not be effective, then again for others it may be the secret to their success. Just by me having my link on all these peoples sites my sales have also increased at high percentages... Links and more sales, isnt that what everyone always wants :D
The crux of this is of course the fact that people like to feel thier getting something for free. They think they're getting the better end of the deal but you know - in the long run this is the best advertising scheme I've heard of yet! And relatively cheap - unless you sell something like BMWs.
I have tons of people linken and nobody removing the links so far. I don't think I will either because I have become a resource to their site. I even made many options for links available so they can just copy/paste code on their pages. :D
actually sounds like America's form of democracy - equality with a big twist of money.
here we go...PR is all the rage....now how can we exploit it to misconstrue its original intent.
the Darwinization of the web
Now there's a high concept!
A definite bonus in the dancing process surely, but where does the spider food fit into it ;)
>free widget
So do you have to physically deliver the widget or is it a service-type widget?
Everyone loves a freebie. But not everyone is worthy of a freebie.
I was thinking about this, and I it seems that a certain amount of discrimination would have to be employed in deciding who receives the freebie. Not everyone is a potential customer.
So perhaps a bit of sleuthing/market research is called for.
What got me thinking about this is that I recently received a great offer, thoughtfully written. It's worth about $50. That's a huge investment in me, but this person did their research and knows that a $50 acquisition cost is worth it to get me as their customer.

I'd also like ot know what you do if the webmaster, that has gotten a nice free widget from you, removes the link again. He has to return the widget? ;)
If they remove the link I don't horde them to put it back, too many links coming in. By other people seeing this link on their sites they also link even without requesting the freebie. When I go through the widget request forms for the link i just check to see if they have the link there. if they do NOT i send a email saying, your widget has been packaged or mailed. 'I couldn't find the link on your site though, if you could please put it up there, or let me know where i may have missed it' 100% of the time the link gets put up with a email saying sorry. 100% right now is a good success rate :D
I'm letting smaller sites use my photo-gallery as their own in exchange for front page links back to my home page with my choice of anchor text. Works well for the cost of a few bucks of bandwidth.
How many pr5 links it needs to become a pr6?
Can anyone shed some lights?
This is a tip I am going to use.
Are your "supporters" adopting your suggested Title and description?
The code I display for them is what they are linking with. The ones who are more blog oriented fit it into their content by talking about it just general then they mention it by site name rather than my displayed tags.
so what can I do?
You could work with a premium advertising products company, put your company name/logo on a promotional item (frisbee, keychain, etc.) and give that out as a gift. Some of the products being offered today are pretty ingenious. Sticky me if you need a recommendation.
intitle:add+url OR intitle:submit+your+site OR intitle:add+your+site your keyword here
to find add url pages?
I like it. It has helped get links for sure.
Maybe hold a raffle for the $200 widget after a few Google updates. You might not get the volume of retained links, but maybe the PR8 link "wins" the raffle. :)
I've done this before, put one on Ebay at a lower price. You may not get linkbacks, but depending on the widget, it could generate traffic that could lead to linkbacks?
