Link and Blog Challenge
This website allows bloggers to develop a link network in true SEO fashion. Instead of just linking to any old blog with any old phrase, bloggers are encouraged to link to blogs that have similar topics. Getting links is great, but getting them from common keywords, and relevant blogs is much better. Just from an obvious standpoint that it can give you more traffic since the reader is already on a blog that covers similar topics, it also helps your blog much more in search engines because the keywords are the same on both sites.
Even if the blogs aren’t strictly related the Link and Blog Challenge does provide a way for blogs to give eachother relevant links. It is extremely easy to do. Maybe you talked aobut Britney Spears on your blog and another member did the same. You could do a one on one challenge and link to eachother through the same kewyword of “Britney Spears”. The new Chain Challenge is more of a group challenge. This allows you to get into a chain with other bloggers that have a similar post to yours and link forward. Possibly for months. If I wrote a post about iPods I would link forward and not back. This isn’t an exchange between 2 bloggers, but a chain so the link to your blog isn’t the same blog as the one you linked to in this challenge.
The community is set up so that you can easily browse the blogs of other members and find users who have a related blog to yours. You can challenge them and link back and forth right away. Once everyone understands the concept this will be an SEO machine for bloggers.

Thanks for turning me on to L&B. I find that it is kind of like MyBlogLog, but with more purpose. Let us know ifyou find any other winners.
Link and Blog is the best. I can’t remember who referred me but I am glad they did. I just gave you a 5 star rating for this post. Great post!
This is a great idea - but I’ve just come from another type of link chain that brought me to this blog. I posted the links on my sister blog (Make Money Blog) so there is no forward link from the website I put in the box with this post to you.
You’ll find me on MyBlogLog if you want to see the orig post, my handle is “honestway”. Thanks
