As you may know, Skinny has a long history and background in computers, programing, graphic design and website design. Well…keeping up with the latest technologies is nearly a full-time job. So I wanted to tell you about an awesome new search engine that I discovered.
Leap.it is a mash-up style search engine that I have begun using for specific purposes. It provides an awesome presentation of general search topics for your review. For example…I decided to run SkinYourSkunk.com through the engine and see what came back.
What I discovered…and that is the important word…discovered, was some links about SkinYourSkunk.com that I never noticed before. I found the following links to pages featuring references to our Guitar Skin site.
Escape From Jesus Island – SkinYourSkunk.com Guitar Skin Link
Outdoor Store – Link to SkinYourSkunk.com Amazon Wilderness Guitar Skin
Scoop.it – Link to Slenderman SkinYourSkunk.com Guitar Skin
TheFind.com – Link to Confederate Guitar Skin from SkinYourSkunk.com
PixGood.com – Link to SkinYourSkunk.com Guitar Skins Logo
So…why is this of interest to you??? Good question! First…for a business owner it is important to gauge your exposure. Who links to you, why, how, etc. Backlinks are probably more important than anything for a website because they show that there is interest in your product and will be a source of traffic to your website.
As a professional website designer with my main business at PoconoMediaServices.com, this type of information allows me to help my website clients understand product placement, exposure and so much more. In the case of SkinYourSkunk.com, I can see very quickly with Leap.it that offering skins on Ebay.com is getting good exposure…that the small commercial videos we put together are attracting attention and that (and this was news to me) our skins on Amazon.com are being featured on TheFind.com and many other personal websites as affiliate links.
So take a look at Leap.it and search for something you are interested in. Try something generic and view this search engine as a general overview of the topic. Google is still king and will probably remain that way for a long time. And if you want to find “skinyourskunk outer space guitar skins”, Google will take you right there. But if you want to see everything about “skinyourskunk”, Leap.it provides a wonderful overview.
