3 Way Link Exchange

We all have heard of link exchanges, but what is the best way to do it? One of the simplest forms of exchange is asking someone else's site to exchange links (2-way link) to your site. This has worked in the past, but google has caught up to the scheme and the latest exchange idea is called 3-way link exchange. How does it work you ask? The best way to think about it is to assume that you have two websites (one w/o a page rank (site1) and the other a high page rank (site2)). The idea is to get links to your site1 site by leveraging your site2 site. Let's say you want to exchange site1 links with another site (site3). With 3-way, you would link site2 to site 3 and then site 3 in return would link to site1. Sounds complicated? It's really not if you think about the real purpose behind the shell game. The idea is to fool google so that it can't determine the relationship between the sites and make it seem like the links are natural (i.e. result appear to be 1-way links). Right now, I'm negotiating with someone (PR4) to link to my PR2 site (Ebook Reader Guide) and see if that will improve my page ranking. Try it out yourself!

Kindle Covers and Cases

One of the best articles on the Ebook Reader Guide site is an article by the original owner on Kindle accessories and continues to perform well after the holidays. If you are one of the lucky individuals who received an Amazon Kindle for Christmas, then make sure you protect it with a cool Kindle cover!

You don't have to spend much and at minimum get a screen protector which only cost a few dollars. Depending on how and where (e.g. at home/office/traveling, etc) you use your Kindle, you should consider get a nice protective cover or case. They come in variety of colors and some are even hand made! For a top list of Kindle covers check out this link: Top Kindle Covers and Cases!

Exciting Times for the Ereader Market

Ebook Reader Guide site has been performing pretty well during the Xmas rush and continues to provide decent flow of customers who bought the Amazon Kindle. Most of the traffic are people looking for Kindle accessories (e.g. Kindle covers and cases).

I've also been trying to keep up with posting a few times a week. It's a lot of reading to prepare for an article, but it's getting easier. What keeps me going is the thought of providing useful information for those interested in the eReader. The Consumer Electronic Show (CES) this week has provided a glimpse the competition. This year could define who controls the market going forward and everyone is eager for Apple to enter the market with an eReader/tablet (rumored to be named iSlate). Exciting times!
