Ask HN: advice on link widget startup
I just closed down my first startup SkreemR.com to focus on a new project called LinkGym.com. The idea is that you submit a link to your website and in return you get a small widget of other links (similar to a blogroll) to host on your own site. We will ensure that all links have an even distribution and receive an equal number of page views. Ideally, we want this to become the easiest way to get traffic to your site, particularly if it is a new site or startup. With one submit, there will be links to your site from all over the web.
I am trying to gauge interest in such a service and get feedback on what people think of this idea.
Over on digital point forums, people were concerned about being penalized by search engines for using the widget.
So, I'd love to hear your feedback and if you are interested in the service please sign up to be notified when it is ready at LinkGym.com.
