I must admit that this is in no way, shape or form my idea but it was so good I just had to put into action here on SocialPacks.

Fred Peters over at NewestOnTheNet borrowed an idea from Mohsin from BlogginBits and made it better. The idea started as a simple backlink giveaway but Fred added a twist. He decided to make “The Ulitmate List of StumbleUpon Articles” and has had a great response so far.

I’ve decided to add my own spin on the idea so here it is:

We’ve just redesigned the site and would love to add some quality links to our blogroll. So make a comment and add a link to your best Stumble article, one that you feel best represents your site. Then add a link to your favorite Stumble article written by someone else. We are looking for links to sites that mesh with our own so: Personal Improvement, Health, Fitness, Career Advice, Money Advice and other sites in that genre.

As great as some of the articles are, please leave the “Best Way to Get Stumble Results” articles out. We are really looking for sites that we can refer our readers to that are in keeping with our “Feel Better, Be Better” slogan. (so that means no article ABOUT StumbleUpon or any social networking site)

We will go through the comments and choose the two sites that we feel best fit in with ours and add each to our blog roll.

What To Do:

• Add a link to your best StumbleUpon article that fits with our self-improvement theme.
• Add a link to your favorite site you’ve StumbledUpon that fits with our self-improvement theme

Benefits to You:

• A free backlink to your articles and people with the same interests viewing your site.
• A great list of articles that covers topics of interest similar to your own blog
• The potential to have a link on our blogroll.

We will delete any spam posts and any that don’t fit in with the theme of our blog so don’t waste your time posting if you know your blog, no matter how good it may be, isn’t what we are looking for. On Nov 1, 2007 we will make a post with all the links we’ve received to make it easier for you to access them. Feel free to add links after that date but be aware that they won’t be added to the article that will contain only links.

While you’re here be sure to check out links in previous comments and give them a Stumble if you feel they deserve it.

Alright! Let’s get “commenting”!!!
