Alas, scribd has had its day as far as internet marketing goes. They’ve now removed the option of having your page in html and the pdf document is stripped of hyperlinks.

According to them its due to abuse by internet marketers and SEOers.

Shame, as it worked really well.

When I view your word document on Scribd – I can not click on the hyperlinks. there has got to be a way to load a word document up to scribd and have the links work. I have seen other documents that do, yet your word documents and some that I have posted do not. How do we get hyperlinks to work? Do we upload in a different format?

Thanks Paolo for checking out my website.

All the best,

Hi Steven. It is the first time I come ot your blog thanks to a friend’s recommendation. I have been experimenting with scribd.com too for a while, and it is great.

However an extra step you didn’t mention when publishing on scribd would be to convert your document from pdf to html once it is finished uploading. Why? Because in pdf you annot click on the link, but in HTML you can. And this gives us the link to what we are promoting.

Great blog, I’ve already subscribed to it.
