My main blog is in my sig, and I know it needs some sorting out with formating. But, the one thing I have done is I have used only two directories for linking. I have used keywords that students are likely to be set courses for in search terms. Example 'The Monmouth Rebellion' 'Judge George Jeffreys' - I have blogged the site in historical fiction sites throughout the globe. I've used all of the major Social networking sites and the results have been amazing. My best result so far has been on MSN Live where I knocked Amazon off the top spot for 'New Fiction Books' - Ironically that did not happen on Google, but I am working on it.
Ironically, I just received this e-mail. I have checked the site linked and it's ok. Who thinks I should do it? Who smells a rat?

show related articles from hundrends of popular book bloggers.
You can also personalize the recommendations and setup your affiliate ID to
