I'd love to have a perfect email that could ask people within my niche for one way links --- and perhaps offering them $$ in exchange for the links. What is the best way that you guys word it? MWM
I use the line "I would be interested in finding out what kind of consideration you may receive for a text link on your page..." If the site owner is thinking of getting some money, they'll instantly let you know; but if they aren't thinking of getting paid for the link, they tend to gloss over the sentence. This way, you're only paying for the links that are going to require payment. Otherwise, sending an email that says "how much for a link" will elicit a lot of responses asking for payment when the owner wasn't otherwise thinking of asking for money. Hope that helps, good luck.
