Hi Everyone,

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope that you find this post helpful in your quest to make money online. As always, feel free to ask a question or leave a comment, as your participation is always welcome.

Everybody says that content is king, but I think that is hogwash. You can spend all you want on a fancy website, have the greatest content availble for your niche, have all of your AdSense placed just right, but if you have no one coming to your blog, then it doesn’t mean diddly.

A fellow blogger, Caroline Middlebrook, started a blog last August and currently has over 1700 subscribers to her blog. Now those aren’t DoshDosh numbers, but they are still pretty impressive to say the least. I recommend you visit her blog to check out her content.

I have to admit that I am impressed with Carloline’s progress in such a short time and what she did a few days ago is one of the reasons she is where she is today. Caroline goes beyond the norm, out of the box maybe we should say, to bring people in to her blog.

Caroline constructed a contest to give away one of her future products that is coming out shortly and it is themed with the Easter holiday. She is having a Easter Egg hunt and all you have to do is search her site to find the eggs, place a link on your blog to the found egg. She hid a total of 30 eggs, 10 at a time over a three day period. She is a genius!

In case you don’t see the magic of this, I will show you. If one person finds all of the eggs and places a link on their blog to hers, she has just linkbaited for 30 backlinks to her site. Now take in the fact that that person had to look at probably at the least half of her blog pages each day to find all of the eggs that is probably around 300 pageviews total.

So, for the big flick. In exchange for a free copy of a future ecourse from Caroline, she charged 30 backlinks and 300 pageviews. Now multiply that by 20% of her readership and she is getting an estimated 10200 backlinks and 102,000 pageviews over a five day period! She is my HERO! Not to forget about the 340 posts that talk about the contest that also bring in new readers.

There are other examples of this out on the web, go and find them. Now is the time to jump outside that box and be creative. You never know what it may bring you. Thanks for stopping by.
