Blog Swapping and Reading

It's been a while since I last posted something on Cagle Journey. My journey is slightly less busy this season than last. However, all of my blog energy is going into my college rankings and student reviews blog called The College Consensus blog.

For those of you who play the SEO game, you know that backlinks are key to a successful online business. Rather than just ask companies for backlinks, I've started partnering with websites and swapping blogs. That way, they get a backlink on my site and I get a backlink on theirs. Plus, I still get the same amount of posts on my blog even though I'm posting on other blogs. Got it?

Last week my partner Jeremy wrote a great post for college bound homeschoolers on My Footpath. This week I wrote a checklist purposed to prepare high school juniors for college on a scholarship website called How 2 Win Scholarships. I'm not a huge fan of the website format but the content is really good and the woman who runs things is very knowledgable.

So that's what I've been up to. That and reading silly books like the Hunger Games series and Imaginary Jesus.
