My readers are too much! Too much...
Last year I started the Give A Little SEO for Christmas campaign to thank everyone who commented on the blog in 2007, and it’s that time of the year again. The idea is to throw a link to all of your commenters with their ideal keywords in the anchor text. It’s the least a blogger can do to show his appreciation to those who have even less of a life than he does and find that pseudo anonymous interactions with other human beings via WordPress is the most efficient and painless way to connect with the rest of the species. Anyhow if you have a blog I recommend you take a few minutes this holiday seasons to throw some links to your peeps.
I’ll fill this list out over the next week or so, but in the meantime here are some of the Local SEO all stars:
The Worlds Lamest White Sox Fan
Charlotte SEO NC Search Engine Optimization (aka Joe The SEO)
Organic Search Marketing Company
Connecticut Internet Marketing Services
Portland Oregon Website Designer
San Francisco SEO & PPC Company
New Zealand SEO Blog (Get Richard to link to you and you will kill in NZ!)
Local Search Optimization Netherlands
Ok I’ll finish this later.

Hi Andrew,
This is a great idea and a fun way to say thanks to your commenters ( WINK 😉 )
When will you be joining Santa on his trip back to Europe?
Thank you Andrew, a very nice idea, merry Xmas to you too 🙂 I see you did well on the individual anchor texts I visit Winning The Web quite a lot Gyutae is an excellent bloke.
The question I posted here was on quite an old post from you and didn’t recieve an answer yet, I’ve seen references to you around the web and you are def an expert in local SEO… I have a few questions I’d love to ask you, where best to do so?
Regards,
Stuart.
Andrew, I am amazed at and totally appreciative of your generosity. What a great idea! I will try to spread some love later this week.
You are too kind sir.
Now I’ll have to be a copycat just like last year — darn you.
What’s your link-text du jour? Bay Area Hairdresser?
Will
Cool and nice idea. I think I’ll do that to on one of my blogs.
Hey Will,
The link text du jour is “low cost call conferencing” 🙂
Why are most of the links nofollows? Did Scrooge give out this year’s gifts?
that is such an amazing idea, thanks for giving back man. You set a great example
Mark, Mark, Mark,
As a loyal lurker I’d have thought you would have noticed by now that all external links off the home page are nofollowed, but they are clean on the post pages.
Bah humbug indeed!
Thanx for the link back Andrew!
May 2009 continue to bring ya great success!
I like to do this a couple of times a year. How come I haven’t run across your blog before the Pleasanton Boat Show post?
Not sure John but welcome to the most happening local search blog in Pleasanton.
Im not really much of a commenter here, but I really like that you gave back links for commenter and it shows that you care about your readers…
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the mention, hope all is well with you.
Have a good one
Thanks a lot Andrew!!!
Best wishes in the new year!
I’m a little late to the game but would appreciate any link love you could throw to my neighborhood blog Capitol Hill Triangle
