Or you could blog and comment your way to a top serp.

I designed a template and earned a huge amount of backlinks from the template users. I put the link on the bottom next to the copyright

If I had to ask every webmaster for a link I would of needed 30,000 + e-mails And surely knowing my luck would of been black holed for spam.

truth is if you have good content a lot more people will link to you than you could ever write to personally.

You said it, the best way to get a positive response to your link building campaign is to make it personal. If you take the time to review the site yourself and send an email that shows you visited the site and read the information on the web site, you will a higher success rate.

re: textadsearch’s comment – Individual emails from sites are good for securing very important links to a sites’ portfolio, but an extremely inefficient way to spend a website owner’s time. Creating noteworthy content, cool tools, or some other industry resource can build links much faster than individual emails – sure, it takes more time and creativity on the front end, but that content builds links while we sleep later on. Going with a related theme of another post on this blog – it’s a “passive linking stream”

I agree, i think the days of casually asking for links are gone, most webmasters aren’t even going to check their mail.

Isn’t the era of sending out emails to site owners begging for links over? If I want a link back from someone – I link to them or write a detailed blog post about their site and link generously and deeply into their site. It is amazing how many people see your link to them in Google and eventually reciprocate naturally.

Great series – link building is hard and you do a great job teasing out new methods to help.

Good tips Stuey !!
Another good method is looking at who comments on blogs you visit, ocassionally ive been in conversations with other commenters and wound up getting a comment back on my blog regarding the topic of conversation from the other blog, which leads to having a link placed on their site for my blog, the point here is connection, isnt that what blogging is all about finding other like minded individuals in similar niches and forming relationships with them.
Who knows where that relationship may lead to !!!

You should take the time to write a personal email. Link requests should be a slow quality affair.

There is no point sending multiple emails to unrelated sites. I get these emails all the time and just ignore them.
