Linkdip Gets It Done In A Cool Way
Linkdip Description Video from linkdip.com on Vimeo.
I was perusing Jeremy Shoemaker’s blog Shoemoney.com the other day and I saw an ad that I actually clicked one. Being a blogger 
trying to make money and running this blog, like so many others doing the same thing I’ve become blind to ads on blogs and webpages-especially if that site is about “making money online”.
For some reason the linkdip ad jumped out at me. Way more so than his ad for some kind of electronic cigarette, which for the life of me I can’t understand why that ad is on that kind of site. But I’m sure they paying Jeremy some mad loot to be there!
Anyway, linkdip’s ad was a 125×125 black square with white lettering that simply said “links, likes and tweets are waiting for you” with a little animation and the linkdip logo in the bottom of the square. Not that flashy, but I clicked anyway.
Within linkdip I found a cool little community. It’s pretty simple to join and then register your sites on the system. The basic premise is that people request Facebook likes, Twitter tweets and retweets, Google +1′s, diggs and links to URLs and sites that they want promoted.
There is no paid linking or “click farming”…it’s just a simple request. You’re under no obligation to do so. When someone requests one of those social media actions you can go to the URL and check it out. If it calls out to you then you can do whatever they requested that you do….if it doesn’t then you don’t have to. Pretty simple and fair.
I’ve mostly requested “+1′s” for my stuff so far and the response has been pretty nice. People do request links but I haven’t done so yet. I just haven’t found the URL or topic that I could link to on any of my blogs and I definitely don’t want to just start throwing up unrelated links on any of my blogs. That would be suspicious and cheesy.
The main reason I like linkdip is the relaxed atmosphere. You don’t have to do what you don’t want to do. It’s that simple. Another reason I like linkdip is that because I am pretty big on Twitter and Google +, but rarely do I do much with Facebook and Digg on any of my sites. I don’t know why…but they just don’t call out to me like the others. However, there are people on linkdip that have pretty large Facebook followings and do a lot with Digg. So, I can leverage their social media footprint with mine and get the best of both worlds..and vice versa.
That’s it for today. After a long hiatus of turmoil and the holiday’s I’m pretty sure I’ll be back to posting on here pretty regularly again. Hope you all had a great Holiday and I personally cannot wait for 2011 to be gone and 2012 to roll it’s unfamiliar little ass in. Good-freaking-riddance 2011. I totally didn’t like you.

Chris,
Love the site and what it offers. Only been there a week or so but it’s already paying dividends!
Justin,
You guys are spot on with that! It can only get better and become a more powerful tool with growth! Awesome…
I am on linkdip and love it. I have probably received around 10-12 links to my blog in the last month since it launched. I think it is a great resource and find it as part of my daily to-do list now. Glad more people are starting to find it. It was a ghost town when i first joined but is slowly and steadily gaining steam.
