Projects Possible

I recently read an article about blog and website promotion where the author was offering tips for bloggers to help increase their traffic.  One of the simplest of suggestions was to simply ask readers to link to you and you do the same for them.  So the purpose of this post is to layout the offer for you to do a shameless plug of your blog or website in exchange for allowing me to do the same.  (Reciprocal linking.)

The ground rules are going to be pretty simple…  I’m going to periodically create a post that will have a direct link to a page on your blog.  All I ask is that you do the same.   Give me a link in a post on your blog. 

What do you need to do?   Simply leave a comment on this thread with the following information:  

1. The URL you want to link to. (your domain URL is fine)
2. Some text the describes your post the post I am linking to in #1. (your site focus if linking to your domain URL)
3. The URL of a link-back to me… www.projectspossible.com - A general purpose blog where the author shares things that he WORKS on, PONDERS, and ENJOYS!

Exclusions:  I won’t post adult sites and/or sites that condone illegal activities or topics.  I also reserve the right to NOT post content that I do not believe is approprite for my general family audience.   

Just for future reference I am in the process of creating a TOPSITE for Weblogs for the purpose really of sharing links.   I will let all of the commenters know when it is fully operational so you can add your site

Did you get here and expect to be on a different post?  Let me try to explain what happened…

Wordpress and other blogs have these great things called permalinks.   They were invented by makers of the blogs to be permanent links to the postings that are found on the blog.   The idea was to always make a post available even months or years later. 

When I started ProjectsPossible I used Wordpress right out of the box and then played around a little bit with the permalinks.  What I didn’t realize - and this was a newbie error that others just starting with blogging should take into consideration early - is that your permalink structure should NOT be changed once it has been established.  Doing so will break all of the links and all of the indexing that may have occurred at the various search engines and blogs indexing services.

I changed my permalink structure to something that is a little more friendly.   You will now notice that instead of getting a number for the post in the browser address you will get an actual post name.  Overall more friendly, overall better for indexing.  For the few of you that I knew I had sent a permalink I apologize for the change but it is a change that I felt strongly enough about needing to change even after the blog had been established. 

You can still find what you are looking for.  Use the Search located at the top of the sidebars, or you can look at the categories, or even the tags to find your article.   I apologize for the inconvenience.
