Reciprocal Review Carousel – More Viral Traffic

Reciprocal Review Carousel idea is based on few simple and yet effective link-building and blogging techniques I have learned:

• Build value of the blog by creating a link from within content.
• Provide a value to community by doing a review on blog you personally like.
• Link to YOUR blog has exact anchor text you want and helps you boost Google Rankings.
• No more then 30 outbound links from any page to prevent penalties for link farming.
• Viral effect of the link – as more bloggers participate, link to your blog with YOUR anchor text, coming from quality content post will spread.

Here is How to participate:

·  Copy the entire text between the specified lines.

·  Create a post on your site and put at least one paragraph explaining how you joined the Reciprocal Review Carousel.

·  Paste the text you copied into your post.

·  Remove the Bottom Review and At the Top add your own review with a link to a site reviewed, at least 2 sentences about the site and a note – Reviewed by: Your Anchor Text. Link your anchor text to your site.

Since joining this Carousel I have followed Alex’s suggestion not to link to my blog from each review therefore avoiding multiple links back to my site from a single location.  Feel free to join the carousel and please add reviews to the sites you like. Once you have provided review about the site – let them know, and perhaps they will join the carousel.  You will be surprised how fast your rank will grow and this time so will the Google Page Ranking.  It is your chance to get viral traffic to your blog.
