SEO and Marketing

Have you heard about Qassia? Nor did i until a few hours ago. I must say it looks very promising. Finally i see something based around fresh and unique content. Here is what its all about:

Qassia is a credit-driven intelligence engine coupled to a cascading tag-based web directory. What exactly does this mean? It means that Qassia will change your life.
Good stuff your websites will like
At Qassia, you can add your websites for free, and without having to add reciprocal backlinks. You’ll get unlimited quality backlinks (as opposed to “no-follow” backlinks). You can also add intel. Short for “intelligence”, intel is a tidbit of information. Qassia rewards users who add intel in three ways.

1. Backlinks You get one backlink for every piece of intel you add. Every intel will carry a direct backlink to one of your sites. So the more intel you add, the more backlinks you get.

2. Credit When you add intel, you also get credit, in the form of Qassia dollars. Your net worth in Qassia dollars determines how well your websites rank in our directory.

3. Revenue When your intel is displayed, you get 100% of the advertising revenue generated by that page. That is not a typo, by the way: we give you ALL of the gross ad revenue.

This means that website owners have triple incentive to contribute intel. The contributed intel will allow Qassia to become a vast repository of intelligence, with unrivalled original content. And a vast amount of original content draws traffic like honey draws ants.

I don’t know how well it works but it is definitely worth submitting your site into. The only downside is that Qassia is still on beta stages and you need an invite to join. Good job i have one here http://exposedseo.qassia.com

Next on there is http://www.mixx.com which actually worked a treat for me. It is an increasingly popular Digg clone-ish where you actually stand a chance of hitting the front page. It gives you quite a bit of link juice too.

Finally there is seo friendly http://news.ycombinator.com. It reminds me of reddit. If you have tech related stories you can expect to get some very nice traffic as well as a home page backlink. (Got this resource from mixedmarket arts)
