Thanks for the thought, Mark. I've tossed the idea around before. It brings to mind why Lynn usually suggests people start new sites on paid hosting rather than free sites. But since my purpose was to use the free host for another purpose, Paper Hollywood was a surprise side success. I may move it sometime or build a somewhat different site and link to it from PH. Traffic notwithstanding, though, I haven't been too impressed with the the income potential of model-hobby market, so I've kept that on the back burner.
No probs Wade, sounds like you are all over it. It always surprises me how successful a "side site" can be eventhough your intentions were elsewhere when you first construct it. Keep up the good work!
Wow! I didn't know this stuff existed! Maybe you could link each product to the dvd of the movie that people could buy, and to other merchandising about the movie....
When I first got started online I used link exchanges because that's what many of the "experts" out there were saying to do. Live and learn I guess.
Unless there is a really good reason, I refuse all link requests now. Search engines prefer one-way links. Plus with link exchanges you have to keep up and make sure your link partners are keeping their end of the bargain.
It's just not a productive use of time, and the benefit is too small. In the time it takes me to find 2-3 link partners, I could write 3-4 articles and have them submitted to a few hundred article directories. There's a few hundred links instead of 2-3.
