Former Fat Guy Blog Directory lists links alphabetically in order of highest bid. Bids can be purchased for a link at any time, by anybody, and all bids are counted toward a link's total bid. The top 10 bidding links are displayed prominently on the home page, and the highest bidding link will be displayed on every page of the directory. As a special feature, the latest 5 links will be displayed in the Sidebar of every blog page and post of Formerfatguyblog.com

Adding a link is easy. Just buy a link and place a bid of at least $1 to active your link.

If you added your link you should have been sent directly to the link details page, where you can place a bid. An email is also sent to the address for all new links with instructions on placing your first bid.

You must click the Activate My Bid link on PayPal after payment. If you placed a bid but it was never counted toward your link, please contact us with details of the transaction and the email address that payment was issued from. Your bid will be applied as quickly as possible.

Once listed, your link is displayed permanently. As time passes you can increase your bid to keep your link at the top of the listings. For the latest listings to appear on the Formerfatguyblog.com sidebar, it may take about 30 minutes for the updates to be processed.

It is highly recommended to social bookmark this website main page as well as the individual page your link is listed in. I recommend using Onlywire to bookmark to 16 of your favorite social bookmark sites. You simply register at onlywire, then register at the social bookmarking sites they support. This process takes about 15 minutes. Then you simply bookmark the one page and onlywire passes the info using their API to all the listed bookmarking sites automatically. Bookmark once and get listed in 16 sites.

Then as a second method, link to "http://www.formerfatguyblog/directory/" and / or your specific listed page from any websites you own. This advertises your page and harnesses the power of links to promote your site even further.

To do this, I highly advise using either the same term you bid on or the category name you put your link into when you link to your specific page. ie: if your put your link in the "Personal Trainer" category, use the phrase "Personal Trainer" when you link to it. It's all about SEO don't you know.
