Another example is a "recommend this site" service. That is you have a page on your site that people can use to recommend a website. People get to
page through a link on
website that they want to recommend.
Or how about a service that let's people "brand" images with some text?
Affiliate links
I like to think of affiliate links as "paid for" links. Basically you're paying someone to link to your site. Do they work? Yes! You win because you only pay
affiliate when a sale is made (ok, there are exceptions) and
affiliate wins because they get paid.
eBooks
People love eBooks. Create an eBook with links to your site in it. The more popular
eBook is
more links back to your site you will get. Plus eBooks go hand in hand with affiliate programs.
Of course there are many more ideas than these. The thing is to think about ways of getting people linking to your site. It doesn't matter how crazy
idea sounds. In fact sometimes crazy is good. Remember all those times someone sent you a link to a wacky web site? Just think about how much traffic that website must get!
