tourist-online.de pays the Blogger’s Rent in Crete

Just stumbled across a quite interesting promotion campaign by tourist-online.de.
The holiday home agency celebrates its 10 year anniversary by paying the rent for a stay in Crete, Greece.
A clever idea to get inbound links in cooperation with their SEO agency seoFactory.

All a blogger has to do is linking to their homepage.

The campaign will end at the end of May or after 3.653 incoming links.

It’s apparently time to forget about SEO guidelines saying that linkbuilding should be done at a slow pace to avoid penalties by Google and other major search engines. I guess they know what they’re doing.

Interesting to see that Malte Landwehr wrote the seoFactory blogpost about the tourist-online campaign.
That might explain why that SEO jack of all trades hasn’t blogged at his Online Reputation Management blog since January 2009.

If that really works out it might be fun to spend a week or two with fellow bloggers that also took part in the campaign ;)

Update:

They just emailed me the voucher in .pdf format. Now I just gotta find some cheap flights…and finish my Master’s thesis in time ;)

Big thanks to tourist-online.de – will post a review of my stay, will probably be some time in July!
