Viral tags, this is suppose to help build links. I am not familiar with this idea, but I figure it’s worth a shot and everyone knows that adding links and authority is important. It can’t hurt to try it and if it doesn’t work then there is no harm done, hopefully, but is this against Google’s Tos and could a person get banned for using viral linking like this? If anyone has any information I would appreciate it. Thank-you.

I simply can’t find knowledgeable people that agree on anything and sometimes I do impulsive things without thinking of all the angles or consequences. By the way I thought it best to remove all of the empty viral tag spots because I did not want it to look like spam. So I will simply add your link when I know you are on board.

Update/9/5/07:I have decided not to go viral so please do not copy the below viral tags train to your site, however if and when the sites below decide to add me I will remove the no follow from their anchor text and if not I will eventually remove their url.

After talking to several people they told me they wished they had never gotten involved with this sort of thing and I can see where it could definitely get away from you and you would be linked to a lot of sites that have no bearing what so ever on anything pertaining to your site. So I will treat this as a resource to some other interesting sites in relation to marketing online. Sort of like a blogroll.

The directions are below if you would like to participate in this program. Simply paste all of the following into a post and follow the directions below.

This viral Train has derailed here. I have an aversion to deleting post so this one will stand as is.

Instructions:

Important Update - Please read here!

1.) Copy and paste the matrix of “ViralTags” below courtesy of Founders Cafe (to support Jimmy’s quest of launching his own Internet Startup with a shoestring budget, please consider subscribing to his Full RSS Feed to see his triumps and struggles in real time).

2.) Substitute the Host Tag and add your link to the matrix with your anchor text of choice with your blog’s URL. Please keep anchor text to a max of 3 words to keep the matrix size manageable.

3.) When you get a ping back from someone that has your link in one of their “Viral Tags”, practice good karma by copying his/her Host Tag’s anchor text (automatically the associated link will also be copied) and paste it over one of your “Viral Tags” below.

4.) Encourage and invite your readers to do the same and soon this can grow virally.

Important: Once I get a ping back from you (I promise to do the best I can), I will add your anchor text and the associated link you designate as “Host Tag” here and add it to the matrix above. As more and more bloggers copy and paste this matrix, the more backlinks you will have with your anchor text. If everybody who copy and paste from your blog does the same, pretty soon this will spread and go viral. So, the sooner you participate, the more links with anchor text you will receive.
