STEP 12 - How to
quickly find
quality link
partners
Finding 100 or
more quality
link partners
requires a bit
of work and
organization,
but the task is
not all that
difficult. Just
follow these
steps:
1 - Create a
page for your
website and name
it Friends or something to
that effect. If
you already have
a links page,
purge it of all
links that lead
to a page that
has a PR less
than 5 or is a
"bad
neighborhood".
Place a link to
your links page somewhere on
your homepage. I
recommend
placing the link
near the bottom
of the page so
that your
website's
visitors won't
see it until
after they have
finished reading
your home page.
After all, why
invite people to
leave your site
prematurely?
2 - Surf over to Google and
do a search on
your theme (home
decor,
woodworking,
etc). The search
results page is
your mine for
digging up quality
reciprocal
linking
partners. Visit
the first site
on the list.
3 - Does the
site have a PR
of 5 or higher?
(Sites near the
top of the
search results
page almost
certainly will.)
If not, visit
the next site on
the list and
repeat this
step.
4- After you
have found the
next site with
an acceptable
PR, check to see
if their home
page has a link
to a links page
or a stated link
exchange
policy. If not,
visit the next
site on the list
and repeat the
process
beginning with
step 3.
5 - Check to see
if the site uses
any of the "bad
techniques"
listed in the
"How Not To Get
Banned From
Google" section
above. If so,
move on to the
next site on the
list.
6 - After you
have found a
site that you
wish to exchange
links with,
place a link to
their home page
on your links
page. Do this before you
attempt to
contact the
other webmaster.
7 - Email the
webmaster (look
for a Contact
Us link or
an email address
on their site).
Create a form
letter asking
for the link
exchange, but
personalize the
letter for each
webmaster that
you are sending
the letter to.
If the
webmaster's name
is listed on the
site, address
him by name. If
not, just use
"Dear
Webmaster,".
compliment him
on the quality
of the site.
Mention a
distinctive
feature or two
about the site
so that he can
tell that you
actually made a
serious visit.
Explain that you
feel that a link
exchange would
benefit both of
you and explain
why.
You might need
to do a little
"educating" here
as many
webmasters have
no idea about
the usefulness
of link
exchanges. Send
your link
information along with your
email. You
should include
the following
link info:
Site name: ABC
Blue Widgets And
Widget
Accessories,
Inc.
Description:
Attractive blue
widgets at the
lowest prices!
URL: http://www.bluewidgets.com
Contact email
address:
JohnDoe@bluewidgets.com
Be sure to
include a couple
of your main
keywords in the
link text (the
"clickable" part
of the link).
This will help
increase your
PR!
8 - Send the
email and wait
for a reply from
the webmaster.
Of course, while
you're waiting
you should be
contacting other
webmasters in
the same way. If
he responds with
a "no thanks",
or hasn't
responded at all
after a week or
so, remove his
link from your
links page and
move on.
If he agrees to
the exchange,
he'll respond
with a link to
the page on his
site that
contains your
link. Send him a
pleasant email
thanking him for
the exchange.
9 - Repeat this
process until
you have
successfully
completed at
least 100 link
exchanges with
quality sites
that share your
theme. If you
have over 100
links, split
them up onto two
or more links
pages. You can
even split the
links up into
categories if
you wish. |
