Link building using a contest

[RikkiD22]

Hello,

In the past we have ran many contests with aims such as increase facebook likes, twitter followers, newsletter subscriptions etc but I was wondering if anyone has had any success in gaining links through a content and if so how did you set it up?

Yes, I did run a content link campaign for one of my PSD to HTML service website, and got good success. We just asked people to write a piece of content for us on their blog/website (genuine website/blog) and share that content with us via Twitter/facebook as a proof that you've wrote something about us and have published as well with a backlink.

In return we had offered them to HTML their design files.

This campaign was beneficial for us in many ways

• first we got some positive reviews from genuine people (Google Just LOVE Positive Reviews)

• Got natural/genuine one way backlinks

• got social media exposure/buzz/mentions as we were accepting entries through FB/Twitter only

• We also got social votes/ links and new followers, as we asked them to stay tuned to next offer

• We got a few new clients who liked our job (most important) and got huge repeat business
