Etsy Recyclers Guild Link Building Contest (Retro Chalet)

     First, I want to tell you a little about the Etsy Recyclers Guild.  I have been having some very pleasant conversations with Retro Chalet:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/RetroChalet 
Her shop has the  "The Best Vintage Kitchen, Melmac, Print Blocks, Letterpress, Porcelain Glove Molds Galore"


http://www.etsy.com/listing/43739208/50pc-vintage-plastic-buttons-purple

She has a 2nd shop too!  http://www.etsy.com/shop/RetroChaletStudio

    Below is what she told me about this team:

Etsy Recyclers Guild is a global team comprised of Etsians who have united in the name of "green." Our group focuses on the below issues:
    a) Artisans creating handmade wares from recycled, upcycled, discarded, or vintage items in lieu of buying new materials.
    b) Vintage sellers re-purposing or offering retro or antique items to keep these items from the landfill whether it be for use or decor, again, to alleviate need for new mass produced goods.
    c) Greenies who have thought up eco-friendly green alternatives to modern day mass produced wares, or developed their wares using green processes.

     There are several different teams on etsy that focus on green, upcycling, or recycling, and some with no requirements for joining. We have found over time that our team benefits most by members who will be active and are on Etsy to stay. We expect our members to participate and promote our team's shops, and our love of recycling.

We do this by making treasuries, cross promoting each other on the world wide web outside of Etsy, and in our own shop banners. We have a team shop, and sell advertising on all blog wherein all monies go back into the team's ad campaign. Currently we're on Everything Etsy !

For us, this method of promote-on-promote has earned us several hundred backlinks between Bing and Yahoo alone and page rank on Alexa in just a short time. Some members have in turn had their sales increased with added exposure.

How to Join Etsy Recyclers:
We limit our membership to around 200 members, when some leave or close up shop, we have open enrollment periods. To see if we are accepting members, visit www.etsy.com/teams/6474/recyclers-guild-team.

*********************************************************************************
THE CONTEST
The important part...  I think cross-promoting has huge benefits.  That is why a thread that I run in the Etsy Promotions is based upon us cross promoting our other thread mates. 
 
The very same concept of building back links that I try to promote in this thread, is exactly what the Etsy Recyclers Guild is doing with their contest!  So I would like to team up if you will and help with their contest.
 
Here is a link to the blog post with all of the details:
 
Please blog about this contest, tweet it, retweet it, facebook it, and ENTER into the contest.
 
The prizes are amazing!
 
$200+ Value Prize Pack:

$75 value of products donated from Etsy Recyclers Guild Members shipped to you!
$125 value of a sidebar avatar/link to your hop, website, or siteon this site for 9months!
+Bonus: Feature Story written about you or your shop/site, to increase YOUR credibility!

    We should all take a look around and see what we can use and reuse in our work. There's a real challenge there.
