I really like the idea, and here’s why. The RETAIL value of something is what a consumer (link seller/ customer in this case) will be looking at. The wholesale cost is going to be anywhere from 20 - 75% LESS than what it is normally sold for. Giving a gift certificate in trade for links means that you’ll get that DISCOUNTED from the cost of your link acquisition. I’m sure there are LOTS of bloggers (or students perhaps?) willing to dole out some link love for a free gift certificate from your shop if it’s something they are interested in. Pay in gifts not in cash! It’s the best kind of online marketing strategy there is: simple and effective.
