After the famous Million Dollar Home Page, lots of people have tried to come up with similar linking schemes to earn money and/or fame. Many of them are pathetic. Others are somewhat ingenious or even downright clever methods of free traffic generation.

One of the more creative linking ideas is from Tag A Cloud. No money changes hands—only links. Each visitor is allowed to sign up for one or more tags. These tags are short text descriptions that are added to the overall tag hierarchy. For each click your tag gets, you get a point. For each visitor that comes from your site to Tag a Cloud, you get two points. The more points you accumulate, the larger your tag becomes relative to the other tags on Tag A Cloud. You win by increasing traffic to your site. Tag a Cloud wins by getting more traffic and huge inbound link power. What Tag a Cloud plans to do with all this Google Juice is yet to be seen.

So head on over to Tag a Cloud and see if you can’t get some good free traffic generation going. I’d appreciate a little click love below:
