Unless you’ve had your eyes shut, you’ve probably noticed some momentum building around Twitter. People who didn’t get it (and I was one of those) are suddenly Twitterholics. They tweet all the time and get the shakes if more than a minute passes without an update. But what’s all the fuss about? Is Twitter just another example of social chatter that is destined to disappear without trace when the buzz is over? No-one really knows the answer to that question, but what I’ve observed is how some of the heavy hitters of the blog world are using it to create even more of a presence online.

The Link Building Cookbook was made to be the internet’s most popular free link building strategy guide, and I would say it has achieved that status long ago.

In doing so, I am proud to announce the first user-submitted link building tip from a reader of mine named Ben, who owns and operates a site called EveryCall.us.

The site Ben offered me to share with you is called AmericanTowns.com. Rather than explaining it myself, I will partially quote Ben’s email (with a few minor spelling edits to the quote).

[...] it’s a website which has local sites for each city. I’ve used this website in the past to announce site launches, new features, [and it has] driven quite a bit of traffic for my efforts.
