General linking question

    As a newbie and and in a perpetual state of learning I have arrived at my latest challenge.

    LINKS!!!

    I was told by a fellow webmaster that I dont have enough backlinks to my sites. I have noticed a steady traffic increase with some SEO done but nothing to write home about.

    What are some of the typical tricks and ideas I can implement to increase liks out there. I know I can purchase links but id rather do link exchanges with larger sites but how do I get their attention?

    thanks

    People always make this harder than it should be. Personally, I would say Yes and give you a link if you did these things:

    Send me a personable email (i.e. I automatically delete automated "link exchange" emails -- you can tell them from a mile away)

    Let me know that you've actually visited my site by mentioning something about it.

    Tell me why my site would benefit from exchanging links with you (same visitor demo, niche, etc.)

    Basically, if you convince me you actually took the time to visit my site before firing off an email to ask for a link, I'd almost always give you a link.

    initiate the exchange put their link first.
    you can also directory submission that will also help.

    Getting just a few highly relevant links to your site can go a long way. Make that your focus.

    You need links, but dont let people tell you otherwise - its a dead boring and time consuming process and there are plenty of people on the forum that will do it for a resonable fee. 50 or 100 links a month wont cost a earth . sort out your anchor text first or it will be wasted

    Take Care Paul

    Contact GTech via PM. His company just did a bunch for me, and I am soon to send them a new set of requests.
