10.22.07 | Permalink | 26 Comments
After running my free backlink offer for two days, I have ended up with a total of 28 links. It was a great response (despite the site being down for 10 hours instantly after the offer) and I learned a thing or two from it that I’ll utilize in my future offerings.

Thanks to those who submitted their links, and a special thanks to following people for spreading the word:
- Karen Zara from Karen Zara Dwells Here
- Steven Snell from Vandelay Design
- Pelf from Pelf-ism is contagious
- and Elliot Cross from ejcross.com
Those who benefited from this offer, and those who missed, keep your fingers crossed, because a similar offer is coming very soon, which will be even better and everyone will be able to benefit from it. Subscribe to my RSS to be notified when I give away more free backlinks.

Here are the 28 links in the order they were submitted. I’ve enjoyed reading many of these and I am sure you do too.
