This is a really low budget way for Intel to go about getting more links, and I thought they could be a little creative and try to use some Digg spam bait to get more links. Intel just got hit with a 1.45 billion dollar fine from the EU so they must have had to slash their search engine optimization budget.

Please add my site information under any Quality Inner Page. Here the our site details:

I wonder how this 3 way link strategy is working for this multi billion dollar company. The top backlink listed is from HV Web Directory :: SEO Friendly Web Directory.

Intel should be proud of the money they are saving from having axed their online marketing department.

Some people seem to get all the luck. In an article about the new Tesla Model S Sedan electric car, the New York Times blog author links to Mahalo founder and controversial tech blogger Jason Calacanis twice as much as any other source.

A link from NYtimes.com is very valuable and the only thing Calacanis has to do with the new Tesla sedan was to put a down payment on one.

Outspoken online media figures tend to get the most exposure, and therefore the most links. This is a great example of how to use your popularity in social media to expand your website, get high quality links, and improve your reputation. Many people resent Mr. Calacanis for this, but his online force is undeniable.
