My take on the technique I wrote about is that it’s the equivalent to a digital street sign. Meaning, you’re advertising away from your medium, but it has the power to bring people to your venue (or website as it might be).

The SEO component of this is that if your BitTorrent marketing is successful, people will visit your website and hopefully write and link to it too.

Would this be classed as a black hat technique or is it organic enough to get past the Search Engine censors? Is the concept that by providing stimulating content to users they would then link to your website themselves, or is it that bitTorrent provides you with your inbound links?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Tom</p> I’m new to SEO and I’m interested in this idea.
