Name Dropping - 2006/06/12 19:03 I had an opportunity to drop a link to the SOJAA site on alpacasite a couple of days ago (to the article on cattle grubs).

This created an immediate spike in traffic to our site. More noticible than the paid advertising in the AOBA Conference Booklet.

If we are wanting to establish this site as a decent marketing vehicle, name dropping is certainly a good way to accomplish it.

I saw the posting and even followed the link. What kind of numbers are you seeing for traffic now?

Re:Name Dropping - 2006/06/23 05:10 A post on alpacasite roughly quadruples the traffic to the SOJAA site for 3-5 days. From 50 or so page views a day to 200 or more page views a day.

It would be interesting to see if dropping links in other forums, like alpacanation, would have the same effect.

Any takers?
