Inbound link contest winner announced! posted by Earn Money Blogging

A big thanks to everyone who participated in the "Inbound Link Contest".  We have a winner!  A big congratulations go out to Marija.  Thank you for all your hard work on this.  While we had a lot of people participate, Marija was able to win with only 4 links!  So it wouldn't have taken a lot to win this contest!  We'll be having another contest soon so stay tuned.

The whole purpose of this contest was to get our bloggers networking with other webmasters and to start to build up their inbound links which will help their traffic.  Even a few links can help you with the search engines as they will see you as more of an authority on your topic the more inbound links you have.

Inbound link contest - Win $100! posted by Earn Money Blogging

To try and motivate our bloggers to get inbound links we're going to have a contest to see which blogger can get the most inbound links to their blog. The contest begins now and ends July 31st, 2008. To be entered in to the contest all you have to do is go out and get as many websites to link to your blog as you can and at the end of the month send us an email listing all those links. All links must be active from August 1st through August 7th when we'll be judging the entries - a winner will be announced on August 7th. All entry emails must be received by Midnight on July 31st, 2008. You can email them to sportsfan@nbabasketballonline.com

We're going to impose some restrictions on the types of links you can get so please see below for the full list of links that do NOT count.

To get started simply go to Google and find other websites and blog that are about the sports and teams that you write about. Email the website owner and ask them for a link by explaining that you think your blog would be a good resource for their readers. Or offer to write a guest post for them with your by-line and URL at the bottom of the article. Or offer to exchange links with them by writing a quick write up of their site and a reciprocal link back to them. Some webmasters will be happy to add you to their blog roll even if you don't give them a link back (which is ideal) but some may want you to link back to them - you can easily do this with a quick blog entry on your blog about their website.

It might be said that the only thing Junior Seau loved more than surfing was football. The 43-year-old linebacker, who ended his life last week, always came back to the community of Oceanside, Calif., to get in the water and … Continue reading → [read full article]

Drew Brees joins Oceanside surfers, former teammates in ‘paddle-out’tribute to Jun

It might be said that the only thing Junior Seau loved more than surfing was football. The 43-year-old linebacker, who ended his life last week, always came back to the community of Oceanside, Calif., to get in the water and re-connect with his home. Just two days before his Wednesday suicide, Seau was in the water with his board. As a tribute to Seau's life and legacy, hundreds of surfers paddled out into the Pacific Ocean on Sunday afternoon in a ceremony to remember the future Hall of Famer. The surfers hit the water with their hands, dropped leis in the water, raised their open hands to the heavens in a "five-five" tribute to Seau's jersey number, and chanted Seau's name in an hour-long memorial steeped in Polynesian tradition. Still more fans and friends stood on the rocky shore, chanting Seau's name. One of those board-heads in the water was very well-known -- former San Diego Chargers and current New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees. <br /> "Junior always cared so much about his teammates," Brees told the NFL Network . "He always wanted to know how you were doing, how [he] could help you. That's what I'll remember most about Junior -- just the smile on his face, his attitude and his infectious personality. We were in the water where I know Junior loved to be. It was a beautiful day because Junior is present here with us." Brees, selected by the Chargers in the second round of the 2001 NFL draft, played with Seau in his first two NFL seasons. He signed with the Saints before the 2006 season as a free agent. Kicker John Carney, who played with Seau from 1990 through 2000, was also a part of the ceremony, as was fellow former teammate Darren Bennett. "So many people out here have a story about when he told them a joke, or bought them a meal, signed their jersey or encouraged their child," Carney told the San Diego Union-Tribune . "We're all grieving the loss of a great man who had so much positive impact on San Diego." [read full article]
