New Contest!
 |
| Our contest is called LINKS! |
The Etsy Recyclers Guild is proud after only a year, to rank in Alexa, and have sites linking in. Other than that, we've got readers, subscribers, people who check our blog on a regular basis. :) Even better than that, is something called Backlinks. Backlinks are where other sites (whether it be a blog, website, online article, etc) puts a link to this site which gives us "crediblity." Without getting into technical jargon, in most cases, the more links the better we rank......
So now it's time to apply this theory to this contest.
"Links" CONTEST RULES:

How to Enter (Easy as 1-2-3):
1- CHOOSE A SHOP WISELY:) You must choose an active member from our e by clicking HERE to search our team tag "Wastenot" on Etsy. This will bring you to most recently listed items and MOST ACTIVE members (the Member Directory is in alphabetical order but not everyone is active) so I strongly suggest using the Wastenot Search!
Go to their shop and make sure their shop is open and "frequently has new items added." Make sure they indicate in their shop banner or profile they are a member of the Etsy Recyclers Guild (if they don't they will be disqualified because they may not be a "legit" member.)
The shops will be supplies, vintage, handmade, you name it, any shop on our team qualifies!
EXAMPLE:
 |
| This member, Retreauxgirl has the tag "Wastenot" and the "Etsy Recyclers Guild" in her shop banner. She updates her shop regularly! Her shop is legit! |
2- FEATURE THEM & THEIR SHOP :) Feature them in a small article on your blog or website--or if you write for a place you can do an article also!
To qualify you must include:
a)Their Etsy shop name in the title.
b) Put a link to their shop in the article ie: Check out the Retro Chalet Shop!.
c) Put a link to THIS BLOG somewhere in your article! (http://EtsyRecyclersGuild.blogspot.com)
EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR :)
A perfect example of this is a story Three Old Keys wrote about my shop. Not only did it help in Google Search results, but gained me credibility for my Etsy shop and my plastics blog. **The only thing to chane, would be to put a link to the Etsy Recyclers Blog but other than that, the format is great.
