Link Party Basics: The Perks + Plugin to use!
What are outbound links?
Outbound links are links that point to some other domain from your site. When you link out to related domains, it not only helps the search engine to understand your niche, but also helps to increase the trust and quality of your site which plays a vital role in your blog’s SEO.
Outbound links:
• Get targeted visitors.
• Give search engines a clear idea about your blog because of relevant links.
• Offer the best way to be in touch with bloggers having the same niche.
• Help you create a community with fellow bloggers, provide an opportunity to be exposed to other’s audiences + bring traffic to your site
Okay – enough of this boring stuff! Have you ever wanted to do a group campaign, or in this case a link party with like-minded people?
What is a link party?
A link party is hosted by one or more blogs where you can link up your post, which is then shared with the readers of that blog. If there are multiple blogs, your link is shared with the readers of the other blogs too – as was the case in the Michael’s Christmas Dream Challenge example here!
Maybe you’d like to do a home or holiday tour? Recipe sharing for Super Bowl? DIY Easter crafts? You get the picture. Simply create a theme that works for your site.
Psst: If you have a WordPress website, install the EZ Inlinkz plugin!
I hope that learning about link party basics has inspired you to throw your own link party – this REALLY is inexpensive marketing and a fun way to create community and expand your audience! Happy Linking!!!

Tana! Any clue if we can get this if we don’t have WordPress?
Hi Haneen! I did a quick search and found nothing about being able to do Inlinkz with a Wix site. (I know it works with WordPress, Blogger and Weebly). I’ll send an email to Inlinkz to double check, please inquire with Wix and let me know what you hear.
