SEO Losers

What to do if a link partner changes their site content?

Personally I’m not particularly fond of terms like ‘link partner’ and I can’t see how linking to another persons website somehow implies some sort of ‘partnership’ exists. We much prefer to make links to sites based on their usefulness to our audience rather than react to some out of the blue ‘link partnership’ request.

One problem we’ve found is that the life of many websites can be fairly short and what was a good “quality content” site this week could easily become a spammy ad filled holding page next week. There are plenty of people who would love to try to monetize your domain. All it takes is for you to loose interest in the site and let the domain renewal lapse. Many domain registrars immediately try to take advantage of this by placing your lapsed domain on their own holding page till the renewal holding period has expired. Then if the domain has potential it will be snapped up by one of the many people who trade in used domain names. The luckier domains find themselves on new content rich sites, however many unfortunate domain are forced to spend their remaining lives as spammy auto-generated links pages.

Please, please, please try to get the recipient’s name correct when requesting a link exchange. Especially if you’re going to include the letters SEO in your job title.

Hello Orders,

I’ve visited ******* today, and really like it. I run a site similar to yours, and I was wondering if you would like to trade links with me? You can see my site at **********

I will give your site a prominent listing on my page at ***********
, if you link back to my site.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Best regards,

*******

I’ve just had the best idea. It is so original. No one has ever done it before.

You see what I’m going to do is create a really lame directory site on some lame .info or .biz domain (’cause all the best .coms are taken).

Then I’m going to add people to my directory and email to tell them to tell them that I’ve linked to them. That will publicise the site without it being spam and if I’m lucky they will link back to me.

Wow this is such a great idea. I’m such a genius.

Dear webmaster,

I’m the <insert lame job title> at <insert lame .info or .biz domain name>

I’ve collected quality links to other website that related on the Internet on my links page.

I came across your site and feel that it’d perfectly fit in my collection of quality links about <insert field your lame business specialises>.

I’ve already placed a link to your web site along with a description at <insert lame .info or .biz domain name>/<insert vaguely relivent category>.

I’d appreciate if you’d place a link back to my site using the following link and description:
Title : <insert lame of your lame website>
URL Address : <insert lame .info or .biz domain name>
Description : <insert lame decription of your lame website>

If you’d like the description of your site modified or if you have any other cross-promotion ideas just drop me a line.

<insert lame apology>

Best regards,

<insert made up name>
<insert lame job title>

Please, please, can you test your software before sending out mistakes like this.

As a reminder, your site <yoursite> was submitted to the ****** search engine on <submissiondate>. We hope you are getting a lot more traffic from this submission. ALSO…

If you really must use link exchange software, then it pays to send yourself a test email just to check that it is working. The credibility of the email below is destroyed because the placeholder [Name] wasn’t substituted with a domain name. How can people believe that your request is sincere if the email is obviously created from a templete?

Hello ********,

I recently visited your Site http://www.[Name] and really liked it. It is very professional, well designed and easy to navigate.

The content of your site is also very relevant to the site I manage: http://www.*******/

So, I am intrested for link Exchange with your site.

Submitting your website to unrelated directories is a really good way to boost your page rank… Not..!

Kalkadoon Corporate Solutions just cost themselves a link exchange by sending the same link request to 3 of my email addresses.

Mongo no like many email.
