Don’t just throw a link on your sidebar
This is the start of the Rolling Blogroll series, here, at Tips and Tricks. The idea came to me while reading some materials about the proper way to do affiliate marketing, techniques for improving affiliate programs performance, and stories about the best affiliate marketing blogs of 2006. One of the rules was to pre-sell the products on your page, so the customer is almost ready to buy when clicking the affiliate links. “Don’t just throw a link in your sidebar and expect customers to rush in!”
Blogrolls are just links on sidebars
Then I thought of my Blogroll. And of lots of blogrolls I see everyday, but I seldom follow any link there. Why? Because time is limited, nobody can have more than 24 hours in a day, and our attention is put at hard trial everyday.
So, if you appreciate a website and you’d like your friends and readers to visit it and enjoy it, don’t just throw a link on your blogroll! Write about it! Pre-sell it to your readers. The better it is, the happier they will be to discover it.
The Rolling Blogroll Idea
- Every day, over the next few months, I will publish one review of a blog I like. It is free, and it does not oblige the authors of the reviewed blogs to anything. That’s my pleasure and my way of thanking them for the great content they provide.
- If you like the review, you can grab the Rolling Blogroll Badge and put it on your site, with a link back to your blog’s review. The badge will be available on this page and on your blog’s review page.
- Do you want to roll on the Blogroll? You are welcome: after I review your blog, please do the same thing for one of your favourite blogs: review it and explain the Rolling Blogroll idea to the author.
If you have a blog, and after a while you like what you see, and decide that you want to be reviewed at AllTipsAndTricks, you can either drop a comment here with a link to your blog (and if you catch my attention, you’ll get a free review), or order a review via Review Me. This blog is young, so a review costs only $60. This month, Review Me has a promotion: 50% cut off, if you use the coupon code “trial”. You can take advantage and get your $30 review now, or wait to read my Rolling Blogroll, then decide.
Hi,
Free is good! My site is still pretty new but I’d be very grateful if you gave me a review.

Thanks,

Hey Simonne,
Great blog. I just came to All Tips And Tricks from our friend Scott’s blog (Finding Your Marbles) – great review.
We’d love a review of our blog as well if you’re so inclined. Our site is a Dating / Relationship advice column. The URL is
http://www.AskDanAndJennifer.com/
Scott actually did a wonderful review of our site about a week ago – and he really got the essence of what we’re about, which is really cool.
Thanks and have an awesome day!
Dan
Hi Dan,
Thank you for stopping by. I’m glad you liked my review of Scott’s blog. He is doing a great job there.
I’ll surely do a review of your blog (guess what: it was already on my list ;)).
All the best,
Simonne
Keep up writing Simonne, you’re doing great.
Thanks a lot, Kevin. Welcome here!
Hey Dudemeister,
If you want to review my blog, then get into gear and do it already.
Thanks,
Brian Aldrich
CEO The Prize Blog
OK, Brian, I’m going to take a look into your blog 🙂
Thank you for stopping by.
Hey, great idea. I figured I toss my name in the hat and see what happens. I saw the posting about the review thing on the contestblogger website, so I thought you may want to have a looksie at my blog stuff.
Thanks,
Roberta
Roberta, thanks for your post. I will surely pay your blog a visit (at least)
Simonne, thanks, hope you like it. I don’t get a ton of traffic, but it’s all mine 🙂
Hey, Roberta, traffic will come in time. I don’t have too much, either.
Hi Simonne
Appreciate if you could make a pit-stop at my humble blog, http://betshopboy.blogspot.com
And if i may ask, could you be so kind to do a review of my blog?
thanks!
Hi betshopboy! I’ll look at it, and if I like what I see, you’ll get a review 😉
Hello from another “tips and tricks” blog 🙂 My blog is rather focused on tips around one subject so I don’t feel like we are competing for the users 😉 Anyway, if you want to review it or just stop by – I’ll appreciate it!
Hi, Sleeping Dude! I know your blog. Users can read both our blogs, can’t they? I’ll see, may be I’ll write a review of your blog (these days I’m caught in a big project, but I’ll eventually finish that in a couple of days)
Hi there, I’ll be honoured if you could pop by my blog when you can spare the time. A review on your blog will truly be the icing on the cake 😉 Thanks!
Hey, Immomsdaughter, you forgot to include a link to your blog 😉
