LinkReferral

I use a site called LinkReferral to help promote my Etsy. I thought I'd do a review on the website. LinkReferral is a site that helps you promote your website by clicking on other websites, writing reviews and referring people to the site. The more things you do, the higher your "ranking credit" is on the site and the higher you show up when people click on other websites. I go on the site almost every day to try to keep my ranking credit high. If you're interested in promoting your website, this is what I do every day:

1.) Login to your account. Under the "Increase Traffic" bar, click the "Visit/Review other peoples site for ranking credit" link.

2.) You can visit up to 30 websites a day for ranking credit. I like to click on "do a Keyword/URL Search" at the bottom and search for "etsy" or other topics I'm interested in. This way, I'm finding websites I'm interested in and not just clicking random sites. This is also a good way to find new Etsy shops.

3.) If you find a website you like or want to review, you can click "Review this site". You can review up to 5 sites a day for ranking credit.

4.) You can also post in the forums to improve your ranking credit though I don't usually do this. The more things you do on the website, the higher your ranking credit is and the more your site will get viewed.

LinkReferral is one of the top referrers to my Etsy so it helps bring traffic to my site. I've gotten about 80 reviews on my Etsy and I get about 1-2 clicks per day. The downside is the bounce rate is high so people don't tend to stay on my site very long which means most people are clicking without really looking. Even though the bounce rate is high, the reviews mean some people that click do look at my shop and might come back to buy. Most of the reviews are positive and some give helpful advice. Out of the social networking tools I use to promote Etsy, I think it is worth it to use LinkReferral at least to bring a little more traffic and get feedback.

Have you ever tried LinkReferral? What sites do you use to promote your Etsy or other websites?
