Link Building Resources Round up (part 1)

Guido Calcines — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 12:05:21 +0000

Before we get to that list of resources I would like to start with a few things to keep in mind. First, all links should be used merely just for the right purposes to direct your web readers to constructive and relevant information and not to mislead the search engines. Second, be creative and think outside the box - That will get you many links no matter which strategy you choose, just do it before your competitors or they will do it before you. Third don’t only think about link building for the purposes of search engine algorithms or metrics such as Page-Rank; and last but not least FOCUS ON PERMANENT LINKS. (more…)

Download all Downloads from DesingBum

Last time I checked, no one had a strong believe that sharing his or her work’s sources was the smartest thing to do, but Issara Willenskomer from DesignBum thinks otherwise.

“It is my firm belief that when information is shared, everybody wins. In the design world, people often tend to practice the opposite. People hoard their design tricks and secrets like a dragon hoards treasure, often getting indignant when someone else copies his or her ’style’ or ‘look.’ I call bullshit on that. Humanity learns through imitation and repetition. We all have built in systems that allow us to imitate others at an early age, and this paves the way for language development which in turn leads to everything else.”

Awesome photo Light Blur Overlays, Tasty Layered Photoshop, and Vector Design Resources are just a few of the things you may download from his website. Check the permissions before you download and use these files for your own work; we don’t want you to become a laughingstock of the design/artist world and piss Issara Willenskomer off.

I bumped into this site few days ago and after playing with it a little bit I realize that it is a powerful tool to use. In this website you can convert your bitmap images to vector images, an online auto-tracer if you will. Just upload your image and they will vectorize it for you.

The good thing is that you don’t need an expensive software installed in your computer. The website runs a powerful software created by James Diebel and Jacob Norda at the Stanford University. All you need is a good browser, Flash Player and an image to vectorize. (more…)
