So below are a [...] http://WhiteHatCrew.com/blog/getting-pingback-links-approved-for-your-blog-riffs/feed/ 0 http://WhiteHatCrew.com/blog/shoemoneys-april-fools-backlink-getting-secret/ http://WhiteHatCrew.com/blog/shoemoneys-april-fools-backlink-getting-secret/#comments Mon, 09 May 2011 15:48:42 +0000 Antone Roundy http://WhiteHatCrew.com/blog/shoemoneys-april-fools-backlink-getting-secret/ I’m listening to an interview with Andy Jenkins and fellow Nebraskan Jeremy Shoemaker (a.k.a. Shoemoney) this morning, and just heard something funny I thought you might enjoy. Jeremy is talking about how he uses controversy to get links.

Bloggers are always looking for ways to make more noise and get more listeners — more traffic. Blog Riffers was created to help.

I know, it sounds like a crazy idea, but bear with me. There’s method to my madness.
