How to earn a free backlink for SEO right this second

Heads up: I'm going to plug our client's blogging contest in this post. Yes, I'm plugging it because they're our client and we love them -- but more than that, I'm plugging it because it's a pretty sweet deal, and I'll tell you why I think so.

It's not every day that an opportunity crops up to earn a valuable backlink -- from a PageRank 6 site -- with relatively little effort.

Sounds pretty good, right?

Our friends at BestVendor, who focus on software and app ratings, are offering you this opportunity until October 31, 2012. To get your juicy backlink right now, all you have to do is create a list of useful apps and tools around a theme. For example, we put together a list of "Killer conversion tools for the clever startup."

On top of writing in a little backlink for yourself, you can also win a $1,500 Amazon card or an iPhone 5 if you share your list and garner a bunch of views.

Ok. Sales pitch is over. Go do it!
