- Dear Sir or Madam,
I am emailing you regarding the formation of a partnership with my client.
My name is XXX and I work for Linkforce Ltd based here in UK. My aim is to create partnerships within relevant industries to my clients. Alternatively I keep the details of interested partners to submit to future clients for consideration if the subject matter falls outside our current client’s criteria.
I would like to place an article on your website containing a link straight to my client’s desired URL, from a keyword of their choice that would be on topic. It would be a small text link contained within the article.
Obviously I am keen to agree a partnership as soon as possible for this project, so I look forward to hearing from you shortly.
Kind Regards,
XXX Partnerships Executive Linkforce Ltd
I wonder how much it would be. I'm also curious what the post would look like. I'm guessing it's more about SEO, and less about clickthru.
It's odd, so much effort goes into SEO, but I can't imagine that it really is worth the investment except when employed in aggregate.
Yeah it's SEO. Back links on sites help increase your google ranking. There is a PR (page ranking) number system for reputable to non reputable sites and each of these have an affect on your overall ranking on Google. If it's a really shit site that solely exists for backlinks it will actually hurt your ranking.
My company actually got blacklisted from Google for a bit because they paid a Russian to throw up over 2000 backlinks on spam sites a few years back. Whoops.
- Sometimes there are real folks dropping links in forums. They must get payed pennies per hour. It's awful.
Typically, for "legit" businesses, it is part of the SEO team's job. The girl we used to have would spend maybe 30 minutes in the morning linking on comments on related blogs, post to facebook/twitter/pinterest/etc, check on keywords, update budget for our Google Adwords and then move on to actual copywriting and research. If you do it enough I guess you can do it in your sleep.
Dead links with awful copy, etc is probably something like Mechanical Turk or Fivrr though. For those it is literally pennies.
No. Hubski couldn't be sustained on it unless it were intrusive. I need to look at myself in the mirror every morning. Someday it's likely that we will need to make money, but I really need to be ok with how we do it. I need to be able to tell you all about it, and feel ok with that.
