I cannot match the Great Aaron Wall’s unconventional link building checklist, but here’s a few more suggestions. After all, you can never tell which ones will work. I once said that women have what it takes to RULE the SEO industry, and here are a few link building tactics we can do that men can’t. Ha!
- Offer free dates on your site. Get your male visitors involved in a contest of sorts, require them to blog about why they think they deserve a date with you, and require them to blog about your date right after. Sounds familiar, you say? Of course, Lauren did it. Ask her yourself, or, head over to her blog and see for yourself how well it worked. Heh.
- Attend those blogger events and get drunk. Make sure you’re around bloggers (the likes of Mike Villar, TJ Cafuir, and well, The Man Blog, I suppose) so that when you puke at them, you know you’re guaranteed a link, plus maybe an entire paragraph documenting how you made a mess of yourself. (Or how cute you are when you’re drunk. Hah.)
- Attend those blogger events, be a social butterfly, smile and say hi to everyone as if it’s your birthday. Make sure you have a bunch of business cards ready to give away
- Post pictures of yourself wearing skimpy outfits. Fine, this might not get you links, but at least you get traffic.
- Walk around the office wearing a plastic tiara, and wave your hand ala-Binibining Pilipinas. This really works if you’re working in an internet marketing company where most of your officemates have blogs or twitter accounts.
- Twit the whole day, even when mobile. Announce to everyone you’re in love, or you’re depressed, and other emo stuff. You see, Emo kids are IN these days.
- Wear matching pink outfit all the time. The kind that will make people think of care bears, or alice in wonderland, or strawberries. (Uhm, wala lang. Papansin lang.)
- Be annoyingly sweet online and offline. Especially with guys whose sites have high pageranks. (Hi, Mikey. LOL.)
- Keep linking to Aaron Wall until he notices you. Or, Yugatech. (Hi, Aaron. Hi, Abe. Hi.)
- Marry an SEO guru. Exhibit A: Aaron Wall’s marrying a Filipina. Exhbit B: Sharmskee’s got a permanent sidebar link from Macalua.com. Get the picture? ♥
Okay, don’t listen to me. Just taking a break from all these link building stuff. Back to work now. Heh.

I’m curious about Mrs. Wall, if Mr. SEO Book doesn’t mind. Is she Philippines-based?

Mikey says:
I am not linking anybody for gratis anymore. I mean, unless you look like Kim Chiu and have questionably low morals.
Wait, that’s why I link to YOU 8->
