Make Money at Home - Linkback campaign
******Update: I am updating this post to change my requested anchor text. “Make money at home” too closely resembles too many other review me initiatives of blogs that I read. While I believe that competition does promote a better product, I have decided to completely change mine to “create a blog”. It fits in with many of my posts and gives me the flexibility to blog about many blogger topics. So write up those reviews with the anchor text of create a blog pointing to my site and I will return the favor. Don’t forget to fill out my contact me form after you made your review. I will make a dedicated post announcing this change as well.******
I am trying to get the phrase “make money at home” become a legitimate phrase, not associated with spam. Not only is that phrase the subject of a majority of spam in my junk mail folder, but a search for “make money at home” on Google led me to a bunch of sites that are only slightly better than spam. Yes, they do help you make a little money online, but most of those sites also want a cut of it for themselves. My goal is to make it to the first page of this search and do it without sharing my readers revenue.
I am going to follow suit of some other respected bloggers and launch a linkback campaign to achieve this goal. John Chow’s Make Money Online, Jon Lee’s Web Development, Jason Neuman’s Make Money, and Gary Lee’s Internet Marketeer are all running very similar campaigns.
So here’s the deal: In exchange for a review of my site, I will provide linkbacks to your site with your chosen anchor text. I know this site currently has a PageRank of 0, and realize that that might not be too inviting. To help give a slightly higher incentive, I will duplicate the links in my other blog that has a PageRank of 1. I only ask that your review of my site is honest, is at least 150 words, and contains a link to my main page, and this page. The link to my main page should have the anchor text of “make money at home”.
An example of what it could say is: Jason Spence is trying to eliminate the animosity of the phrase “make money at home” by providing real help for you and your website.
Once I receive 5 reviews, I will make a post with all of the linkbacks. I will also add your site to the frontpage of Don’t Panic in the Review my Blog Linkbacks section. Once you post your review, contact me here and don’t forget to include your requested anchor text.
***Update*** I forgot to mention that I will leave the links on Don’t Panic for a minimum of 6 months.

Kudos, fellow blogger!
I, too do the linkback routine. I’ll include you next week… share the love!
Thanks Smart Guy.
I am working on a full review of your blog. You should see it on my site in the next couple days. I’ll notify you when it is out there.
btw. . . Johnny, where did you see my towel? I’ve got a couple spots on this blog that reference the book, and a bunch of references on my Don’t Panic blog.
I think I got it from “Don’t Panic” alone, then browsed around a bit and discovered one of the other many references.
I’m sure you noticed that the catch-all category at Smart Guy is “Life, the Universe, and Everything”.
Oh, and thanks for taking me up on the review-for-a-linkback offer. Much love!
[...] I decided to review a blog that is offering a returning review linkback. Since I am asking for reviews from bloggers, I would be remiss to not do some myself. Today I’ve been navigating around Johnny [...]
Favor returned! See my review.
Everyone is doing this review me link back stuff.
