Link exchange requests have a very bad reputation. The reason for that is that many people send mass link exchange requests that are nothing more than spam.

However, if you want to get links from authority sites, you have to send link exchange requests. The secret of successful requests is to write link exchange messages that aren’t spam.

Get the reader’s attention

If you want people to read your link exchange message, it should not sound like the dozens of other emails that the webmaster receives. Use the recipient’s real name throughout your message. If your message starts with “Dear webmaster” then it’s likely that it will be moved to the trash. Be personal. Write a personal message for each recipient.

Use a real email address with a real name as the sender address. Free email addresses and email addresses with numbers look spammy.

Get the reader’s interest

What’s in for me? You should answer that question as soon as possible in your email.

Do not list any features. Focus on benefits. First, nobody is really interested in the great features of your website. Tell the recipient how your website solves his problems or the problems of his readers.

Appeal to the ego of the recipient. Tell the recipient that you list only 10 websites in this special category and that he is in that top 10 list. It’s easier to convince people if you appeal to their ego.

Anyone who creates a website definitely wants the search engines to notice it and even index it as one of the top sites. This mainly depends on what the website is about and what keywords they could be targeting so that they may get the expected traffic. But the problem with many of our websites is that there are too many flash images, pictures, adverts, links, in short, there are many good looking things that are brought to the face of the customers. This is a very big mistake many website developers overlook. They are just out to eat your money and you wonder why your website is not getting any traffic.

If there is one thing I would not like you to forget as you read this is this: ‘whenever anyone is using the search engines, they are mainly looking for information’. This is something you should never forget. For example, if your site is about music and you start advertising things that deal with food, I will probably never visit your site again. You did not give me any information about music. This is just but one of the many examples that exist.
