I always thought that when I no longer had to work for the man, life would be easy, travel would be great – just bring the laptop and go!  So when a family member needed some help I hopped in the car thinking – no problem.  I’ve got a laptop.

Regretfully where I’m at there is nothing other than dial up   I can’t even get a signal on one of those wireless cards that I purchased just to make this trip easier on me.

So I guess today I went “OLD SCHOOL”.  I’m doing some extra promotion for the folks who are using the BHD Site Building service and putting some of my money where my mouth is.  Since I’m stuck in this crappy hotel, and can’t access any site with https (just WILL NOT connect to any secure site) I was poking around on some forums looking for link buys.  Since I can’t log into paypal to send funds it’s a pointless excercise of course, however there are a ton of places to buy links on Digital Point and Site Point…. the catch is they aren’t advertising.

I’m not talking about the folks selling links, I’m talking about all the folks NOT making any real money that have websites.  Just a few PM’s and I’ve got couple dozen links on sites with PR for about 20 bucks.  All related, all in content…. and more importantly no Google slap for buying links.  Since it’s all through the PM system there is zero record of buying links (or the seller selling).  Anyway at the end of the day (and when I can actually pay for something) I’ll probably end up putting out about 2 or 3 hundred bucks this way and getting over 500 one way links from related sites.

Of course I might get burned – it happens even when you use places like text link ads, and even google (click fraud).  Most of those links will stick though — and be worth it.

I’ll be back tomorrow – and can’t wait to have my internet connection and my desk top pc back again.
