Loving the Link
If you are in my line of work (search marketing), getting links to your website is a very cool thing. It is one of the hardest things to do and that is why there is an entire industry centered around buying and selling links. Companies like Text Link Brokers.
So how surprised was I to see that I got a link from the Link Building Wiki, which Text Link Brokers runs.
I am not sure how I got it, how they found me, or why they considered me worthy of a link – but I say thank you whoever put me there. Links are awesome…I should have asked for some for my birthday.

sucks that it's a nofollow.

Hello James,
Thanks for the link. We had put the no-follow's up while we had the wiki hosted on our main site. We noticed a pretty dramatic drop in rankings from having so many outbound links, so we decided to put no-follow's on them.
One of the primary reasons why we decided to move it to its own domain was so that the outbounds wouldnt effect our site.
I will have one of my guys go through and take down the no-follow's now.
Nothing like a little link love!

Hey Jarrod! A pleasure to have you visiting the blog.
Thanks for the comment and for the nofollow explanation. I look forward to getting a clean link, but either way it is appreciated.
Have a great Labor Day weekend!
