Need links? Here's how to get links:
1. Organize an event.

3. Require people to register for the event.
4. Require people to blog about the event and link to the sponsors.
Hey, it's a fact of internet marketing life. We did it before in the SEO contests. Now, we see it again in Wordcamp Philippines.
Yes, I'm joining WordCamp Philippines 2008 care of the Mindanao Bloggers and sponsored by:
- i.PH: the Domain for Individuals

Now, anybody care to invite bloggers to their birthday parties?

Well, we could have gone the usual WordCamp way of charging participants $20~25 dollars worth of participation fee, and gotten sponsors at the same time. ;)

Hi Ely, the links are a way of thanking the sponsors for making Wordcamp possible and for us organizers to make it a free event. When is your birthday? Remember to invite me.
