Good link building is a fine intricate line weaving through the internet. We all know that linking to sites that compliments yours are a sure way to get a better ranking with the search engines. Here is another innovative way of finding good links. But first let's put some guidelines down for good linking etiquette.Before asking for links make sure that you:
1. Have a link ready before asking for linking back to you.
2. Supply the location of the reciprocal link
3. Make it easy for them. Give the link text to use - you can even supply it in html so it is just for copy and paste
4. They have a links page
5. Supply all necessary information to make it easy for them to link to you.
How to get link partners.
1. Search the major search engines with your target keywords.
2. Visit those pages that came up.
3. Make sure these sites compliment yours.
4. Look for sites that are not in strong competition with you.
5. Ask the site owners if they are interested in linking to you.
Why is this system good?
1. You found these sites through keywords via the search engines.
2. The search engines are telling you that these sites are good because they rank well.
3. Links to these pages are important to you because of the relevance of keywords.
How to ask for a link
1. If possible try contacting people by voice instead of email
2. People are more inclined to respond to your request when you spoke on phone
3. Ask permission to link
4. You might state that a link back is not required but would be appreciated
5. If you have permission, link to them and confirm the linking by email.
6. A warm personal phone call goes a lot further than simply an email.
By using this strategy you are linking to sites in your niche and your links will be high quality links. There are lots of other ways and you need to use your imagination.
I'm always game to link to other sites providing that we are complementary to each other...
