What more could you want? These 52 statistics have also been broken down into several categories, and he’s even included his own top 5, the headliner of these being that you’re more likely to survive a plane crash than click a banner ad.

Justin Briggs

In this post from Justin Briggs, he provides a meticulous insight into how he and his team received some very reputable links, using a plethora of creative methods. You don’t often see genuine examples of methods which have worked for somebody, so the sheer transparency of a post like this is very commendable.

Justin goes through several ways in which he found success, with just one example being the creation of a “Making of” video. People love to see the origins and creation of a product, so that’s what Justin and his team tapped in to. After they launched one of their mobile games, they created one of these videos, and managed an article on IGN. Not bad, eh? There are so many excellent examples of how they managed powerful links in this post.
