Day 9 - Welcome to the Neighborhood
This years Thirty Day Challenge pre-season training has just started. Sign up right now by entering your name and email address in the boxes below.
Today there’s more on bookmarking and linking the right way.
Now here this: there will be NO running into forums, mankini on, shouting, “Look at me! Look at my site!” (a little low rent, don’t you think?!) I’ll show you the right way to contribute to the conversation.

What did I do wrong? My a href html wasn’t parsed so there was no link in the post I made. I’ll revisit the video in the morning and make sure I didn’t miss anything. Anyone else noticed this or am I a billy?!

@Adam. The links in the video looks OK, so it’s probably you who have missed a tag or something similar - happens to me all the time
I’m not sure if you can view the source on this page, so it I’m not going to put the exact link as it appears in the video - you would only see the anchor text/link: Vintage Electric Guitar.
I suggest you look at the higher definition version of the video and make sure you get all the spaces, tags and hyphens (”inverted commas”) in place.
I would suggest someone put up these codes somewhere here in the 30DC - much safer to copy and paste. Is also neat to add a piece of code so that the link opens up in a new browser window - target=”_blank”:
Anchor Text Here
(not sure how this example shows up…)
Best of luck

Thanks Torbjorn - I’ve gone over the video again and I posted correctly so I’m going to find another group to post in and see if it happens again

OK. I suppose the groups (Google groups?) you’re posting to don’t allow html then. Maybe there’s a Squidoo lense or Hub page in your niche?

so to get listed on google search you need index,right???
and index is based on who visited your site??
how many visits do i need before my site will get listed on google???

I got off to a late start, but must say so far it has been FANTASTIC! Just wanted to say that when doing a search to find out if your sight has been indexed the site:yourdomain.com works only for .com sites. If you have a .org or .net site you will have to use site:yourdomain.org or site:yourdomain.net respectively to get the proper results.
There is no excuse for failure!!!

I am doing the challenge at my own pace but I hope someone will see my post/question. I have the same problem with the anchor text on squidoo. I’ve done it over and over again but it’s still not linking back to my blog. What am I doing wrong?
