Ok, so everyone keeps a record of who they link to, does anyone keep a record of who refused to link to your site, or ignored your email? The reason I ask is that I have a new site, and have sent out alot of link request and have got the reply "please contact me when you have some PR". Would you still link with someone once you gained PR after this comment or would you ignore them.
Interesting question... I guess it would depend on the "tone" of the e-mail. If I "had" to make a decision right now, I say ignore them, there are plenty of other opps. out there Good luck, Mike
i would say link them. at the end of the day this is about the only contact you will have with them and if you can get somethin out of it do it. what about checking back to see that people are still listing you after a period of time? how many of you do that i have found links moved and removed without me being told. people playing all sorts of games
I guess a link is a link a the end of the day, Previously i have had link partners who have taking down link, made the link page impossible to get to by bots, the metatag noindex, no follow tags, robots.txt file, java, redirects. Takes me upto 10 minutes now to validate whether a link is going to help or not. Then you have to regulary check these link partners that they are still linking, its a never ending. And the more you get the worse it becomes for checking them, i know there is automated programs but I prefer manually checking to see how many links are on the page, PR, content.etc.
