Quick comment for the travel related link builders/publicists. This new Yahoo search feature offers multiple new linking opportunities for relevant content oriented sites related to the search term. Follow Barry’s Jerusalem example and
look at the various content elements from the perspective of linking potential. Some are paid, but others are editorially driven and thus could be lobbied for. Regardless, this is a great example of a positive parasitic linking opportunity.
Very cool.
