You’ll notice a new link in the top navigation for ‘Mobile Marketing’. I’ve got hundreds of links bookmarked to some good sites, and I started receiving emails last week from people with lots of questions about mobile marketing, terminology, how to get started, etc.
Currently, the page doesn’t contain a whole lot, but I promise to add links every week to try to make the page useful. Adding links bores me to tears though, so don’t expect hundreds of links in a week. ; )

Hello DG,
I was referred to your website through PipelineZ to establish reciprocal links between our websites. My website is: http://www.promotebytext.com where I provide information on how small businesses can implement mobile marketing into their marketing and sales strategies through Tom Tom Text.
I have gone ahead and put a link from my own website to yours. Here is the page where you can view my link to you: http://www.sleker.pipelinez.com/links.html . Please let me know if it is inaccurate in any way, and I will improve it. I am in the process of adding more links to my site related to mobile marketing.
Will you please set up a link on your own website back over to http://www.promotebytext.com? That way we can both be sending traffic to each other and help with the search engines’ rankings.
Thank you very much! I look forward to being of mutual benefit to each other.
Sincerely,
Sharlene Leker
