    Why would you link from blog posts to FHGs instead tours?

    I am not a blog genius or anything, but I repeatedly keep finding people who link from blog posts to FHGs. Why wouldn't you just use the free content to make the blog post just like a FHG so you can go straight to the tour. To me linking to the FHG is just another click and extra step for the consumer.


    Just makes more sense to me and i'd think your numbers would be better investing the time in creating good solid blog posts and sending to the tour or even join page for that matter.


    *unless you don't want to host the materials and pay for that bandwidth. If that is the case, skip this post and hit the back button and scorn me for stupidity please.

    I think it's because blog owners are trying to get bookmarkers, and if you have no content, but just thumbs that link to tours, you're not going to get any.

      I do both actually.

      The text will have links to the tours, with a sample link going to an FHG.

        Yeah, it's the difference between creating a site you want people to come back to and creating one made to send joins.

        If it's a splog you would be an idiot to link to a gallery.

        A lot of people do unfortunately.
        I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

          Could you elaborate on this a bit? I'm curious to know the reasoning behind this advice. Thanks in advance!

              Well the thing with splogs is that they're all feeds pulled from somewhere else...so if the "somewhere else" links to the gallery, then that's what you get.

              If you start customizing links on all the posts to go straight to the tour then you're defeating the purpose of having an automated site.

                I usually only have 1 pic per post linking to a gallery. Would be wrong linking it to a tour. If I should link to a tour, I would need more pics in the post. At least 5. And that would take to much space, and would make it look like a tgp

                  But you never wondered why tgp owners dont just use the material on their tgp instead of linking to a gallery?

                    I have tried both and find that FHG's convert much better.
