Pardon me a brief diversion from posting my normal content about family and relationships to tell you about ConnectContent, which has just been launched to help bloggers and website owners get relevant, keyword targeted backlinks from like-minded Connect Content users.
I prefer not to write content about “blogging”, and I won’t be making a practice of it, but anyone with a website or blog needs to know about ConnectContent.
As much as I’d like to refer to ConnectContent as a blog network for bloggers and website owners, especially when you consider how popular blog networks are, I would be remiss in doing so.
What is ConnectContent?
ConnectContent is a search engine community network comprised of individuals and other entities who desire the same thing: Relevant backlinks, containing relevant keyword targeted anchor terms, which point to their websites or to the individual pages of their websites or blogs.
Members of ConnectContent tell other members what keyword terms they want used when linking to each others blogs or websites. For those that don’t know, keyword terms are the words people type into their browser when searching for information of interest to them.
Unfortunately, not everyone with a blog or website understands what relevant targeted linking is all about. The benefits of using targeted keyword terms to link to other relevant websites or blogs is why ConnectContent was created. Not all links are created equal.
Give Good Links, Not Bad Links
Linking to websites or blogs using anchor text like “click here” or “click this link” or “go to this page” isn’t worth much in search engine optimization (SEO). Telling It Like It Is ranks very well for a variety of targeted keywords, including my name, blog title and other terms I’ve worked hard to build.
Some keyword terms people use that bring them to this site would make you sick to your stomach, so I won’t even hint at those. Blogs about cell phones or cheap phone calls would link to other relevant blogs using targeted keywords, not “click here”.
ConnectContent is new, but it’s not free. Participation in the ConnectContent managed network requires a low monthly fee of $12.00 (U.S.), or $120.00 for a year (a savings of $24.00 over the monthly fee), and I highly recommend bloggers and website owners get involved and join ConnectContent now. Now I can get back to posting my normal content.
