Heirloom Boxes at heirloomboxes.com - So you have all this jewelry, magnetic and otherwise. Why not have a beautiful jewelry box to keep it all organised in!

I'm going to put this blog on the back burner until the weather gets worse. Time to enjoy the summer!
So I've spent 100 days working on my link directory. It's been a lot of work. I had about 160 links before I started this blog and now I have 877. My visitor count when I started the blog was 16, 415 and now it is 9000 more, and I can see from my logs that a lot of those 9000 visitors came from my shiny new links, and will likely continue to do so for some years.

Jewelry 21 at jewelry-21.com - US Based supplier of Jewelry armoires, hot diamonds, chatham created gems

I had another person asking for a link from a good site and putting my link on a junk page from another site again. Guess I need to write something on my main link directory page to say that the reciprocal link should be on the same site.

Yesterday and today I've been trying to flesh out my directory - some pages only have one link on them so I am specifically looking for suitable links for those pages.

I created a new page today for sites who's main product was jewelry boxes. I have a few jewelry box sites as link partners and they are here and there all over my directory. Not so good if that is what one of my visitors is looking for once they have finished looking at my site.
dragonstonemagnetics.com/links/jewelry-boxeschestsandarmoires.htm
I didn't move the existing ones over. I think I want to get the structure in place, have hopefully all the categories I think my visitors will be interested in and then go through the old pages page by page and move what should be moved around to sort things out properly.

When I logged in this morning there were 3 emails from people who had filled in my online form to say they would like to exchange links with me.
I think the same person may have filled in all three forms, though the emails were all different.
I look at the first site. Nice jewelry site, but I can't find a links page - I always start at the home page to check out whether it would be likely that one of their guests would find the links page and find my site if that was what interested them.
Then I check the form. The link they had placed to me was on a different site. A site just with pages of links labelled 1 2 3 etc.
Well, no thankyou! I delete that email and read the next one. Same thing!
Delete that email.
The third email is from the site where my link was on the second site asking for a link exchange.
Delete!

MrProtein.Com - Protein & Bodybuilding Supplements and Sports Nutrition at mrprotein.com - quality bodybuilding supplements, good selection and free shipping. If ark doesn't have something you need in that line on his website, he'll get it for you, so check it out because it's a one stop shop.

I'm still getting into the swing of things after my holiday. I put up a pile of new pages on magnetic dots today and I have a pile more just about ready to go up, so I didn't spend a lot of time on exchanging links. Hopefully by next weekend I'll be caught up with my site's backlog and can concentrate more on this. I think my directory is beginning to take shape nicely. It's beginning to be a good resource for visitors to my site once they have done everything they want to do there.

I added another new page to my website for things vegetarian - I met a lot of vegetarians while I was away and I decided that it was a subject that needed it's own page at dragonstonemagnetics.com/links/vegetarianresources.htm
There are already some existing vegetarian links on my site under health nutrition mostly I think.

I'm back after a 2 week holiday, raring to go!
I created a new page for water purification systems today. I think that visitors to my site will be interested in other drug free non-invasive ways of maintaining health like water filtration:

I guess the rest of the world was on holidays too. 2207 visits came from other websites linking to me, but although the absolute number was up that was more because I have more links. Numbers of visitors from any particular website were way down and most links only gave me one visit. Still, I got quite a few new wholesale customers from it so no complaints.
Here's the list of sites that gave me 2 or more visitors last month.

Not only did Jill agree to a link with me, but she also became one of my wholesale customers! a real bonus! I wanted incoming links from quality heath sites to bring me holistic health conscious potential customers. I hadn't thought of a link partner being a customer!

I created two new pages in my resource directory today. Instead of just 'weight loss' I now have diets and weight loss software. I think I will likel;y create one more new site in that section for natural weight loss supplements. I have linked to a few man made weight loss supplements in the past. Not so sure I want to do that any more. Here are the new pages:

Today I added some more pages. I want visitors to my site to be able to find everything they want in the way of alternative health and non-drug non-invasive health care. I think that most people looking for magnetic jewelry will also be interested in other aspects of improving health without dangerous side effects.
