NoFollow Link Train Contest
It’s been a while since we’ve seen these trains. Google’s PR slap has caused everyone to play by the rules. Here are the official Google Guidelines. Google clearly states that you should not participate in “link schemes”. Well since this contest contains NoFollow Links we are within those guidelines. This is another guerrilla marketing creation from the Sneaky Bastard.
BloggingTheMovie.com is sponsoring the campaign to give a book to all the 10 winners and create a Stanley’s cup of blog prizes. The “Records Book”is another book that will be a signature archive of the 10 winners. So far the records book has traveled to SusanSuarez.com then to InvestingAdventures.com. It will hopefully travel the world through the hands of 10 bloggers. Once all 10 have signed the book I can finally sell it on Ebay and make tons of money. Just kidding. This book will actually have a small mention in the documentary. Here is the NoFollow Link Train Contest.
***** Start Here ******
Prize
1. Free 4-Hour Workweek Book.
2. A chance to have a permanent link on front page of Blogging The Movie dot com.
3. Sign the Records Book as it travels to 10 different winners.
Contest
This contest is sponsored by BloggingTheMovie - A featured documentary about Bloggers. This contest contains no-follow links. So it is Google friendly and by creating an original introduction you won’t be dinged for duplicate content. This is an ongoing marketing campaign. There will be 10 winners at which each winner will be able to host their own contest which will be sponsored by Blogging The Movie. 1st Winner: Susan Suarez | 2nd Winner: Investing Adventures | 3rd Winner: Can be you!
Rules
1. Write an original short snippet introduction to avoid duplicate content.
2. Just copy the section between the start and end.
3. Add your 3 favorite blogs with rel=”nofollow” in between the link on the code page. i.e. <a href=”http://www.url.com/” mce_href=”http://www.url.com/” rel=”nofollow” target=”_blank” title=”url name”>URL.com</a>. This is extremely important to ensure that Google won’t ding us. Make sure you contact the bloggers and insist they participate so they can keep this going.
4. Email your URL of your blog post to Free4hourWorkweek@gmail.com
[Deadline: 12/31/07 ]

Btw, typo in the last sentence of the train (rel=”nofollow” not rev=”no follow”) it’s right everywhere else though

This is the same train which left the CFC station earlier? Hasn’t that train completed its world round trip? What’s the story on that train?

Prija over at Blogging the Movie started a new link train, but with one twist: you must have “nofollow” tags on each link. Interesting idea, hopefully it will show us all some benefit. Plus it’s a contest, so there’s nothing to …
