I am surprised they don’t keep the content in a wiki style system and plaster their click thru ads all over the pages, could generate some significant income.

Now this is funny, just did a new search and my website came up twice in the top 10. At least I can guarantee the links get changed!

What a brilliant idea. I was going to contact local clubs etc. and see if they wanted a new website, but this seems like more fun and may even pay more in the long run.

Very creative, Tad. I guess how you do it also depends on whom and what it is for. But yes, truth remains you can work these links a lot of way and the way you describe allows you to get some links to newer pages.Smart!

There is even a better way of getting those links. Go to the Google cache or archive.org then download the actual content, place it on your webspace as a mirror and then ask for the link.

There’s really good stuff in between. Found some City Councils linking to resources, for example.

I think Melanie is spot on in that for the most part, these backlinks will simply go to waste.

This is very interesting indeed. I suspect it will be a numbers game. Chances are, many of these sites still pointing to Geocites aren’t updated much and getting a hold of these webmasters might prove challenging. You will also have to find unsuspecting webmasters who don’t see links as commodities. Still worth it if sending 50 emails yields 1 good link.

That’s .. staggering. And an impressive display of the backlink data you guys have collected.

Thanks for the correction: I’ve folded it back into the post.
