News sites; directories; ezines also known as email newsletters; blogs, product reviewers; trade associations; content partners, and many others. Get these links working collectively and you will potentially be driving thousands of prospects to your website. A website linking campaign is not a quick fix.

Stages for Website Linking

1. Set realistic objectives

Objectives should be realistic and time-bound. They should also relate to your core business objectives and the size of your business.

2. Assess your current links

• Examine your website's raw log files to find out the traffic that your current links bring.
• Use one of the many online tools.

We'll find out the quantity and quality of websites that link to you.

3. Find your top link targets

Getting links from just any website isn't typically too difficult. Getting links from quality sites that will drive quality traffic to your website is a different matter. You need to identify the top sites in your industry and use these to spearhead your linking strategy.

4. Maximize your linkability

Why would other websites link to yours? You need to offer value both to the target website and their audience.

Answering this question is one of the most important - and often ignored - aspects of a linking strategy.

5. Send out linking requests

Automated link requests are a waste of time and end up where they belong - in the trash can. Every link request should be personally addressed to each target site with polite follow-up to maximize the success of your linking campaign.

6. Measure & evaluate your link build strategy

Like any other marketing activity, you need to measure your link building efforts. We'll create a scorecard to easily monitor your website's linking progress.
