I still get inandated with link requests and still 90% of the standard replies never even get answered, even if answerd the incluson message only elicts replies in about 50% of cases.
But when persuing links myself or for a client I always send a personal thank you note when an incluson is confirmed and voila in most cases I get a reply.
It seems that most webmasters request links and don't even acknowledge an incluson message as a lot of replies show genuine surprise by the editor or webmaster that I've taken the time to send a quick but personal Thank You.
The bonus - I now have a range of personal e-mail addresse of editors and a quick but again personal note highlighting that I've send another high quality site speeds up inclusion like there is no tomorrow.
Also I can pre ask in some cases what the best cat would be and again pasting the history in the e-mail some actually do the complete listing for me.
Like in real live a short courtesy note can open doors very wide indeed.
