This should have been a poll instead. I don't know how to post polls. How many of you find it easy to search link partners? 1) Very Easy 2) Easy 3) Satisfactory. 4) Hard. 5) Ver Hard.
Did you mean to say Link exchange partners? If thats the point. Its easy to find. Just mail the site owner's whose sites are related to yours.
Very easy. You just have to ask. A lot of webmasters will not respond, some will so no, but most will be receptive if your site is complementary to theirs.
I send several custom emails out once a day, and get a response about once a week. I will even make phone calls. I try to trade at least three links for each contact rather than one and it seems to be better. I think backlinks are very difficult to get, but I go for a few great ones rather than a ton of bad ones...I don't know if it is better or not...
satisfactory for me. i have a lot of tools one of them is linkalizer.com (not my site) and the other is link-vault.com (requires mod of your .php pages) usually if you own high pr domains it's ok.
