I looked into using Alinks, but it uses Javascript to create the links. I’m a bing fan of using links and RSS to help building backlinks to my site. Because this is Javascript, it does zero for SEO.

In spite of that, do you find value in simply having a link in the blog post? Is it enough to use the titles as link bait and hope you can funnel them to your store?

Thanks!

If so have you had success?
