We have a saying at Paul Mycroft Design which explains how we rate our success as a business and as individuals:

“It’s not who you know, it’s who knows YOU.”

What does this really mean? Well, your reputation as a business owner is dependent on the impression you make when meeting new customers, when networking over a beer, how you handle yourself on email, the phone, and when responding to negative blog comments, or when making a presentation. The impression you leave can last a lifetime and determine the quality of people you can use to develop your business.

The same can be said of your website’s success in the search engines. It comes down to “how many quality websites link to yours”, not how many inbound links you have. The more inbound “link juice” you can get, the “juicier” your site will seem to the search engines and the higher you will rank for specific searches. But that “link juice” can always do with a boost, especially when it’s handled by someone who knows what they are doing.

One of our quality partners—Vertical Measures—is running a quality link building competition until June 15th, in which they want to hear what you—today’s surviving businesses and entrepreneurs—would do with a quality link building and website marketing campaign if you only had the means. Why does your business deserve this opportunity of a lifetime?

Tell them by submitting a brief (200 word or less) essay or (3 minute or less) video, and they’ll boost the juice for a First and Second prize winner! The First and Second prize winner’s “Boost Your Juice” campaigns might include article marketing, social media marketing, press release distribution, and more! Your package will be customized to fit your individualized needs.

Contest ends on June 15th, 2009. Good luck increasing the number of quality people who now YOU!
