Start Your Own Award Site


1. Go to Fiverr.com and order a really good looking award graphic. It has to look really good and it also has to be small enough in design that other webmasters will actually want to add it to their pages.

2. Create your own niche "Cool Site of the Day", but make the niche a broad one.

3. Find sites you like and add them to your own "cool" site.

4. Contact the site owners and tell them that you've named them "cool site" and that they can post your award on their site. Just send them the code to the graphic hosted on your site, include a link back to your site in the HTML.

5. People are MUCH more likely to add an "award" that links to your site, than swap links, even though the end effect is the same.

Use some SEO skills and look for high PR, high ranking sites in your niches. Also, be sure to only add only high quality sites to your "cool site". This makes your award more prestigious and also makes sure your cool site not only links to high quality sites, but also you get a lot of links from other high quality sites.

This is also a great "ice breaker" if you are trying to network in your niche.

Plus, if you have FatBomb installed, think about how you may combine the two...Add a bunch of sites to your Fatty, but give the "awarded" sites top ranking in your own SERPs. You can even add your award graphic to their details so it shows up when their site is listed. This is another great way to build "currency" with other sites in your niches.
