1. Link Recruitment
Email: Unless you have a personal friend within the site you are trying to contact, the first step you should take is to email requests for links. To do this you will want to make sure that your email contains the following:
-
Include the request for the link early in the email so the reader knows the purpose.
-
Explain what your website has to offer and why it will be beneficial for them to link to you. Be sure to demonstrate how this will benefit the users of the partner site.
-
Tailor your request for the site you are contacting. Do some research and learn what services they provide to better understand their needs.
-
Give your sites URL (address) that you would like them to use for the link. To make your link structure look more natural to search engines, do not always give the URL of your homepage. Where appropriate, link to pages within your site that are more beneficial to the link partner.
-
Tell where you would like your link to be placed within their site.
-
Give your contact information and request for them to contact you if they are interested.
