Making Link-Back Requests To Bloggers in Your Niche

January 21, 2012

For years now, online marketing bloggers have made tons of money using the simple blog. But it is readers that makes it tick, so if your blog doesn’t have targeted readership, it’s lacking in the most important area. Just one way that so many try is to rank in the engines so they can avail themselves of tons of traffic.

But for that, your blog needs some link juice, and if your blog isn’t popular then the links aren’t going to fall from the sky. One of the most powerful type of backlink can come from other bloggers, but you must know how to ask them for it.

Blogging is about relationship building, so make sure you give a brief introduction about yourself to the other blogger. It doesn’t matter how big or small the blogger is, it’s just common sense to tell him about who you are. Before you go out there and ask for a link, your efforts should be directed towards building and establishing a relationship. One good paragraph of about five sentences will do fine and accomplish this objective. You will find that not everybody will agree to give you a link, and then it will come down to being a numbers game. Learn from every experience you have. As they say, experience is the best teacher. As you move forward, you’ll make your share of mistakes. All of your experiences and what you learn from them are important. Try to tap into that as much as you are able once you’ve started to gain it. No book, no course, no school can teach you what experience can. You will see which bloggers will respond back to you and which bloggers will not. You will gain some firsthand experience in how that whole “asking for links” game gets played. You need to make sure that every step you take is a progressive one and that you do not ever stop moving forward.

One excellent idea to consider before getting started is to sweeten the pot by showing your appreciation for any links you get. It could be a report, an ebook, a software tool or simply a signed memorandum by you, and it doesn’t matter what you’re giving away for free, as long as it holds value. Do not be afraid to go out on a limb with this, and the more valuable the link, the more you need to offer. This is the kind of situation in which you may have to go into not knowing what the blogger will want. We do know people in business who seem to have a closed mind when it comes to something new such as a method for marketing or advertising, and they are leaving a lot of money behind as a result. But this just goes back to the concept of testing because even having an open mind to try something, if only once, is the smart thing to do. For ages, people have been encouraging others about seo packages because their results were so good. On the other hand, there are a lot of people who are led too easily and tend to believe without due diligence.

We have all been scammed early in our IM careers, and it can almost seem like a rite of passage for us. If you actually give what you buy a shot, then if you do not perform solid research is when you are pressing your luck. Newbies and those who have a hard time learning from experience of getting scammed will have this problem. We really pretty much do not care who it is, if something is new to you then you have to preform some research to get another side of the story. What you will usually end up doing is not wasting your time and money.

Try to move past any internal objections about this working because it can work when you say the right things. Remember that these are some of the best links you can get since they are on relevant blogs. If your posts and articles are high grade, then other bloggers will not mind linking to you. The more you put into your posts, the more you can get out of them with a return.
