Green People at greenpeople.org - I'm really happy about that. It must be the biggest directory of eco-friendly and holistic health products on the web. It should definitely bring me some good traffic.
So, move up to the top section of my directory page and get a 'link partner dragon' next to your name - dragonstonemagnetics.com/links/directories.htm

Yesterday was an unexpected break from working on my link campaign. I had a power outage for some time. Can't work on the computer with a power outage! I got lots of exercise walking instead, which has to be good.

I've just started a new site selling magnetic mattress pads at dragonstonemagneticmattresses.com
I got a few mattresses in a couple of months ago and sold them on Ebay. They went down very well. Half are covered in really soft pure new Australian wool and the other half are covered in pure cotton. I had lots of comments about how people really liked them, so I decided to get more. With a lot more magnets in them this time. I was exchanging emails with someone who writes books about magnetic therapy, Fred Rinker, and he told me to have closer magnets so that the sleeper was in a north pole only zone. Apparently if the magnets are too far apart in a mattress pad the south pole leaks through around the edges of each magnet.
Here's a quote from his email "Even if you use all North pole you would still get a bipolar effect as the South Pole wil bleed up through the magnets this far apart. To achieve an all north pole magnetic field you would need to uaes at least 4 times as many magnets per pad and they should be at the bottom of a mattress pad that is at least 2" thick"
Here's his publisher's site with a couple of his books. The site has some info on magnetic therapy as well. magnetictherapyinfo.com/books.html

Somebody from thesupplementnetwork.com filled in the link exchange request form I have on my site for 22 different sites! Almost all for weight loss products both natural like hoodia and man made, but there are two for a seaweed supplement and one for natural mental focus pills. The sites are very new. Just days old I'd guess.
I wrote back and asked how many links max they intended to put on a page. They already had about 28 on the alternative health pages when I looked. I can't think that if I have one link among a hundred that I'll get many visitors from it.
The parent site that the email came from just has a home page - nothing else! There are some links to product, resources etc, but they don't work.
Well, natural slimming products and minerals as in seaweed tablets are definately areas I'm interested in having link exchanges in. It's all very well to use magnets to relieve pain, but it's better not to get the pain in the fist place! The man made chemicals for slimming i think I'll pass on. But I do think they need more link categories if they are going to have a lot of links. They just have 7 categories right now.
Alternative Health
Herbs
Medical
Nutritional Supplements
Nutritional Supplements 2
Nutritional Supplements 3
Pharmacy
I hope something can come of it, but probably not for me if they are crowding lots of links onto a page. It's not as if extra pages cost anything on the web!

dragonstonemagnetics.com/links/mobilityaids.htm


The last 6 link invitations I did today were from sister sites. I got this reply from them:

Thanks you for the link exchange request.
However, the only link exchange we are doing at this time is to give jewelry and jewelry
related sites such as wedding, gift and shopping sites with a Google Page Rank
of at least 3/10 that a link on all 12 of our link directories in exchange for them
linking back to our six sites found at www.jewelry-discount.net/linkinfo.html.
Your site will be listed when this is done, if it falls within the above criteria.
Best,
Fred

A few directories have linked to me from the directory submission. 3 I think. They probably just started doing them.

I came across this on a website today:
'Sadly, however, many doctors are not sharing this information with their patients. And even sadder is the fact that the U.S. Government has gone to great lengths to hide information from you. Information that proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that they are protecting the chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturers and couldn't care less about you or your health. In fact, the sicker you are, the more money they make.'
healthydivas.com

It's what I've been thinking myself too. One time I used to trust my doctor, but I don't any more. I think that the pills they give you cause more problems on the whole than the condition you were trying to fix.
It didn't use to be that way. drugs were safer, doctors were more cautious about prescribing them and would take the time to explain possible side effects. A lot of doctors wouldn't prescribe a new drug. Figured it was better to wait and see if it turned out to be safe first. And I think that the tests for new drug safety were probably carried out more carefully.
I'm sure there are some good drugs. But I don't know how I would be able to find out which were and which weren't so mostly I'm trying to avoid the whole lot.
As it is now prescription drugs are probably the main cause of death.
Techically 'The fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. is properly prescribed and administered medication. By adding improperly prescribed medication to that equation, it becomes the third leading cause of death." - but a lot of deaths due to prescription drugs don't get recorded that way. I was reading all about the Aids debacle last night. There is no HIV virus. nobody has ever been able to isolate such a thing and with modern equipment they certainly could if it was there. They can with any other virus because those viruses exist.
So then they say certain antibodies prove that someone has aids. But antibodies on their own show that someone has succesfully fought off something. Who knows what.
'Aids' is 25 different conditions that existed before the aids scare. And yes, a lot of those are caused by 'poppers' and IV drug use and other self abuse.
So we are giving 10's of thousands of people 'medication' to kill a virus that doesn't exist and the 'medication' is killing them. But it isn't written that way. They officially died of kidney failure or whatever,officially caused by aids, but it was caused by the drugs.
We know that for sure. Some place in Africa has decided to have nothing to do with those drugs. The HIV positive people there fare much better even though they are often poorly fed or even starving at times.

Quiet day today e-mail wise. I only got one e-mail on link exchanging from Pierce Body. And a couple of e-mails that I sent returned, but I got them sent in the end. It's funny when someone has a commercial website and a contact e-mail on it and the e-mail doesn't work. I wouldn't buy from them if i figured that out before I ordered. Supposing my product didn't arrive - what would I do?

They all say that more links bring more traffic. I'm beginning to doubt that. I've gained a lot of links since I started this canpaign. Over 50. I had about 150 before. I really don't believe I am getting that much more traffic, if any. I'm going to keep going. my target was for 400 total relevant tightly themed links by the end of this campaign, so I am more than half way there.

I was looking thorough one of the link exchange forums today and saw someone inviting entries to a directory. It looked like a good directory so I filled in the form there. Later on I looked at the home page. Looks like the company's main business is selling 'opt in' e-mail addresses. For a very modest sum of money you can buy all the email addresses collected by them every day.
Oops! I hope my spam filters are up to this!

While I was poking around the web today I came across this site written by a Google person:
http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/seo-advice-url-canonicalization/ I guess I have problems. I usually use http://mysite.com/index.html but also sometimes http://mysite.com and occasionally http://www.mysite.com/index.html or http://mysite.com - seems like google will feel that those are 4 different websites!
I used to be: http://dragonstonemagnetics.com/index.htm, but one time when I added another program to my site my home page didn't come up unless the 'index.htm' was typed in - the new program grabbed the http://dragonstonemagnetics.com - So I had to redo that page to 'html' instead of 'htm' so that it would show by default. I really thought that search engines would be cleverer than that. Just about any human would know that those were all the same page.
Apparantly if I knew how to do a redirect and redirected 3 of the urls to the main one things would be better. But I don't have a clue how to do that.

The link exchange forum I joined yesterday, I got a bite from it. I messaged her back. Told her I wanted the link exchange site on the domain I was linking to. She's put up a personal page (pretty new I think) and is putting up the links on that. I guess the main site is paying her to get them links. It doesn't have a links page.

Twelve link exchange accepted! Another great day! A lot of these are related sites to the ones I did yesterday. Lots of people have more than one site. I do myself - I have 4 - but so far i only have links on the main one which is for US customers. The Canadian one is more or less a mirror of that one, for Canadian customers only, and I have just started putting up a magnetic mattress pad site. I decided I needed a new site because my other sites have $5 flat rate shipping for any size order and I wanted to leave that feature. Some of my magnetic mattresses cost $70 or more to ship.

I got this letter today:
Dear Webmaster,

We have visited your web site and wondered if you would consider a link with us. We are in the process of building links for some of our sites.

We will add your link to the following link page:
http://www.paada.com/resourses.htm
http://www.ronaldchambers.com/html/resources.htm
http://www.antique-tables.co.uk/links.asp

Would you please link back to us from a page on your site which is seen by search engines? I added the links and e-mailed back. When I checked this evening my link hadn't been added, but a lot of other links had been.

I'm reorganizing my link directory again. Hopefully for the last time. I decided that bead or gold or charm etc jewelry was better that an alphabetical listing. I think most people would know what kind of jewelry they were looking for whether it was wholesale or retail.

Because I finished my daily 10 invites early yesterday I was looking around the web and found some forums just for link exchanging. So I joined 3 of them and put my linking info up in them.
http://forum.linkstoyou.com/ has several forums divided into categories. I put my link up in business (for wholesale) shopping (for jewelry) And Health because magnetic jewelry is an alternative health product. 12 people have looked at my posts there but no responses.
http://www.webdevforums.com/ Again, 12 people have looked at my post, but no answering posts.
http://www.seo-guy.com/forum/relevant-link-exchange-forum.html 9 views. No responses so far!

One link exchange accepted! Essential Blend at www.essentialblend.com Here's a quote from Debbie's site:
"Living in the Upper Midwest United States we tend to get what is known as 'Spring Fever' about this time of year. Spring Fever is not a virus or infection. It is a state of mind. When the weather is bitterly cold and you are cooped up in the house for months you tend to get what we mid westerners call 'Spring Fever.'
Essential Oils are the best medicine there is for Spring Fever! Fragrancing your home with spring time can lift your spirits and make those dreary winter days much more pleasant."
So, move up to the top section of my directory page and get a 'link partner dragon' next to your name - dragonstonemagnetics.com/links/aromatherapy.htm

Today's batch didn't take so long for me to find and link to. About 2 hours in all. The last 6 jewelry sites are all owned by the same company, so once I'd located one I checked out their other sites and linked to all of them. It'll be great if they agree to the link exchange!

No link exchanges accepted yet today :( But it is early - only 11 am. So maybe my mail will have some nice surprises later in the day.

Today most of the sites I looked at were relevant and did have a link exchange program in place - I was lucky that way. I probably only looked at about 25 sites to get my '10 a day' link requests.
Amazing how many sites have some serious flaws. I came across one where their link page was showing in html! and two of the sites I tried to contact yesterday don't have any way to contact them - the e-mails don't work and they have no forms!
I understand about not having e-mail links - I just removed mine and replaced them with an image with my e-mail on it. The amount of junk e-mail i was getting was ridiculous. In one two hour time frame I got 26 e-mails for male enhancement products, 8 for cheap software, I'd won 2 lotteries (although I hadn't entered any!) 3 people wante to enter into a business arrangement with me so that I could collect millions of dollars from folks who had died intestate and I had 8 fake e-mails from Ebay and Paypal saying I needed to confirm my account because ... oh several things. Random check, attempted log ins form abroad - you name it.

As one who survived a "supposedly" terminal cancer through the use of alternative medicine, this website manager supports the continuing acceptance of alternative medicine in the mainstream medical community.

So, one week since I started this blog and probably about 1000 websites that I have visited to check them out. And 8 new link partners that I an very happy about. Probably about 35 hours spent on it. Anyone out there who wants to get extra traffic from a link campaign, don't think that it is easy! It's a lot of hard work, but hopefully the long term returns on the time spent will be good.
