An Example Of How To Request A Link

How to request a link

Every webmaster knows that the best way to promote their site, increase traffic, achieve better page rank and search engine placement is by acquiring quality inbound links to their site. The problem is getting them.

What is a relevant or quality link? A quality link would be defined as a link from a well written, content rich relevant site (a site that is related in content to your site) with at least some page rank. Google ranks each site listed in their search engine with a quality rank from 0 to 10. The higher the rank the higher the quality of the site according to Google. You can find out where each page that you visit ranks by downloading the free Firefox web browser with Google tool bar or if you use Internet Explorer you can download just the tool bar. I personally prefer the Firefox browser.

Note: Webmasters should use more than one browser when building web pages. Test your pages in each web browser because not all browsers display pages the same. I test each page in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera web browsers.

Finding quality back links The best way to find quality back links is to do a search. Simply type in keywords relevant to you site and let the search engine do it for you. Visit each of the top sites and find the ones that you would most like to make a link request. Once you have done this, familiarize yourself with the content of each of the sites that you have selected. The next step is to contact the webmaster with your request.

Example of a link request This is an example of an email I use as a link request. You can use this example and modify it to suit your needs.
