BLINDING FLASH OF THE OBVIOUS
In "social networking" with people about link development, somebody said, "why don't you just email appropriate sites and ask for a link. Ask them to mention your site on their website?"
I'm thinking if you play the numbers game, write a nice email, personalize it, you should be able to get some percentage of return.
It's just too obvious.... I hadn't thought about an angle where people would actually link to my site.
I was curious to know if anybody has been successful with asking for links back to their site.

Sure, I do it all the time. It's no big deal. Just say:
Hi, I have been developing some information on *mydomain/mypage.html* and I think that page would be a great additional resource for your visitors and should be linked from your page at:
yourdomain/yourpage.html
Feel free to develop your own description, but please run it by me before going live.
Cheers!

hey excell,
Do you get a reasonable close rate on that?
Other question: do you contact sites directly in your industry, and/or surrounding industries?
I love this concept. It's fundamentally sound.

Yes it works almost always, and if they don't do just as I say, I call them on the tellingbone and beat them up a bit!

relevant only - all taken from a logical user view point
If you make it obvious that they should of course link to you.
They would seem like jerks not to - provided you do indeed offer something of value to their valued viewers.

Oh well... I'm only embarrassed to be this dumb for the first five minutes 
I have my work cut out for me this weekend.
Thanks excell.
BTW... do you ever get on WMR chat?.. your name looks familiar. (Aside from the fact that you've been HERE constantly for five years+.

I can see that, if done properly, asking for links is a time consuming on going process.. Kinda like relationship development.
Sometimes the best skill for a webmaster is a high amount of patience!
This is good..
Thanks
