Requesting One-Way Links - Provide Website Comments
(Page 3 of 4 )
Many bloggers and webmasters put their souls into their websites. For them, it's their baby, the child they care about. If you provide constructive feedback (mixed with a lot of kudos), you can affect their ego and soften them up, while giving them a suggestion to drop a link to your site in your signature. If the interaction goes well and you throw several emails back and forth, then move in for the "closer."
Writing an Email
Use a domain email address instead of generic HotMail. It looks more respectable, as if you're the owner of the site.
Email Example:
Hello. I found you website among other car muffler sites and think it's amazing! The article titled "How to fix mufflers for BMW 3s" really helped me figure out my problem. I did not know that by switching the bolts..... etc etc etc I've been able to ...... etc etc etc.
Check out my article about Toyota Camry mufflers. One of my buddies had a problem with his Toyota Camry muffler and here's how we solved it .... etc....
Your site visitors will be interested in this because we're muffler nuts as well....etc
Please check out my site and see if you like it. If you find it interesting, please link to it. You can use this link if you want to <ahref="http://www.example.com/tools/linkSearch.html">anchor text</a>
Did you ever fix Ford mufflers? I seem to have a problem with those. Anyway, come over for a chat at (MSN, YAHOO, AOL - make friends with them) to talk more about fixing mufflers.
Thanks
Your sig
The email is a short version but it gives you a general idea of how to approach this. The goal is approach the request in a friendly way and show them EXACTLY how they can benefit. People are selfish bastards, yet they melt if you recognize and nurture their ego. I'm not implying that you should kiss their backside, but if you don't bother to read their material, they will know. It's perfectly natural; everyone can sense BS when they encounter it.
Buy it
You may consider buying that link. Many webmasters will agree for a reasonable price. Make sure that the link passes Page Rank if you do buy it. You can also buy blog posts with reviews. But please keep in mind that Google is getting better and better at detecting links that have been purchased, and has been coming down hard on this practice, so do it at your own risk.
