You can be the best designer in the world, but if no one see’s your work, what good does it do you?
I’ll teach you how to market to people without them ever knowing they’ve been marked to.
Guerilla marketing is becoming one of the most effective marketing strategies to brand a new product or service.
If implemented properly guerilla marketing can provide you with the highest visibility for a fraction of the price that traditional marketing or advertisements may cost.
Keep in mind that no one likes to be marketed to. It is for this reason you have to market to people without them ever knowing they’ve been marketed to. You have to become a stealth marketer. And when things go wrong, and they will, remember always debate the topic and never the person.
We need both links and traffic but the links need to be a certain type of link.
DoFollow is simply an internet slang term given to web pages or sites that are not utilizing NoFollow links. NoFollow is a hyperlink attribute (much like the "ALT" or "TITLE" tags) that tells search engines not to pass on any credibility or influence to an outbound link.
Originally created to help the blogging community reduce the number of inserted links into a "comment" area of a blog page, the attribute is typically standard in blog comments. It helps overwhelmed webmasters disallow spammers from gaining any kind of advantage by inserting an unwanted link on a popular page.
As a result of the implementation of NoFollow: link building has taken a massive hit, as many sites including Wikis, social bookmarking sites, corporate and private blogs, commenting plugins and many other venues and applets across the internet began implementing NoFollow. This made effective link building difficult for both honest people and spammers alike.
Search engines each interpret NoFollow in their own way. Here's a list of the major search engines, and their actions when a NoFollow link is seen:
• Google follows NoFollow links but simply does not pass on credit to an outbound link that is tagged with the attribute.
• Yahoo follows NoFollow links and excludes the link from all ranking calculations.
• MSN may or may not follow a NoFollow link, but it does exclude it from ranking calculations.
• Ask.com does not adhere to NoFollow.
With all of the above being said - it is rather difficult to find sites that are "DoFollow"...however, they are out there!
Listed below for your convenience is a running list of multiple categories of sites that are DoFollow, and great candidates for your next backlink!
What to do with them?: Create a free blog. Write a keyword-rich (but not spammy) article promoting your site, with keyword loaded backlinks. Name the blog after an important keyword, like silver-dog-collars.blogger.com.
Create new posts and promote your site's individual categories & pages, using strategic keywords tailored for each individual post and the page it's linking to.

What to do with them?: Look to Wikipedia articles' writing styles for inspiration. Write a neutral, descriptive article about what your site is about. Hyperlink important keywords in the description and point them to strategic parts of your site. Add them to broad categories that may have high page rank (like "entertainment", "business", etc) as well as niche categories (like "red sports cars").
