Do You Have An Anchor Site?

We’ve all heard the stories about creating blog networks and auto-posting content on either your own group of sites or with services like Posterous that will put your content on several sites at once. Some of these work well but most are just a pain in the ass and will only last a few months at best until the service decides it doesn’t want that traffic a la Posterous. But can you do site linking on a much more targeted yet smaller scale and still see benefits.

I believe you can and I just proved it to myself.

Posterous Support

As part of the Challenge, I set up a posterous account to tie together seven sites for posting articles relevant to a niche I had build a site around. It was easy to set up and worked marvelously.

There is a thread on the ClickNewz.com discussion area that has sparked some very heated debate on the subject of forced continuity.

You know what it is even if you haven’t heard it called that before.

You get an email from a trusted internet marketer touting their latest low-cost product. You know they produce valuable, usable content so you jump onto the sales page and order the product. You’re not asked for anything unusual for an online transaction so you complete it without hesitation. After all, you’ve dealt with this person before and you know you can trust them.
