Attribution Links

The Day Spa industry is providing services that people like to suggest, write about and review and many of the attribution links were from people who had had an experience and then written about it or were suggesting a day spa experience as something that other people could do.

Other examples of attributed activities include;

• Being a client of another business (Affiliation)
• Operating a business of a particular type and/or in a particular location and being included in a list (Business List)
• Providing complimentary services to a blogger who then wrote about their experience (Review)
• Providing services which a customer subsequently wrote about (Review)
• Providing a type of service that was written about in an article (Suggestion)
• Providing a special discount (could be considered ‘value exchange’)
• Provided services which were suggested in an article (Suggestion)
• Collaborating in a showcase event which was then written about (Case Study)
• Exhibiting at a bridal exhibition
• Having a vacant position in the business
• Working on projects with other businesses
• Being friends with another business (Affiliation)
• Being a retailer of another business’ products (Affiliation)
• Providing service that people enjoy

Self Created Links

The ‘self created’ links in this analysis mostly consist of directories, both industry specific and general. We’ll explain more about those in the ‘directories’ section below.

Value Exchange Links

Value exchange links are sometimes hard to define but typically include Sponsorships or Donations that result in links. In this analysis, 4 links were one of those types with the 5th link being an advertisement.

No surprises here, we’ve seen all of these affiliation link types before.

Our analysis turned up eleven industry specific directories that you should consider. Note that not all of these directories are relevant for all day spa businesses. The key is: [Directory name & link] – [Target Topic] – [Target Location] – [Design Quality] – [is the directory ‘followed’ or ‘no followed’] – [is there a cost]

Article Types;

• Interview (2) – one interview was with a customer who mentioned that the day spa was one of their favourite places to relax
• Review / Suggestion (14) – general customers reviewing their experiences, bloggers reviewing their experience after having been given complimentary services, local websites suggesting that people visit a local day spa as something they could do on the weekend or while they are in town on holidays
• Informational Article (1) – article was about a particular type of service that one of the day spas offered (while there was no direct evidence of this, we suspect that this was an advertorial article)
• Case Study / Collaboration (3) – there were three examples of day spa businesses collaborating in ‘showcase’ events or projects designed to showcase products and services to those planning weddings. The results where then covered in blogs

Link List Types;

• Business List (24) – there were many business lists, often suggesting businesses that provide a specific type of service

Some others types that didn’t make an appearance;

• Web Resource List – this list type is often sought after because it represents an opportunity to earn links to a high quality content resource. We found no evidence of these list types in our analysis however.
