What's the typical response time to link building email requests?

Hello Forum,

We're about to embark on a link building campaign and were curious about how long, on average, it takes to get a response to an email requesting links to our page. We're trying to come up with a timeline estimate for our campaign.

Thanks

super difficult to answer but I agree it would be good to be able to attach a cost to a link.

Depends on the link builder and approach being taken by them.

Its pays to make contact with people in the niche and build a relationship with them before asking them for a link.

I agree with laellester. I rarely get a link sending an email but I do get links if I call people first.

I am currently involved in a smaller-scale email campaign, promoing some new content we put up. I have received emails back within 1-2 days, if they were going to come.

However, I am very new at this still. You might chalk that response time up to the quality (or lack thereof) of my emails or the fact that this campaign hasn't lasted very long. If someone emails me back in two weeks, I'll be glad!

Hope that helps!

In my experience, if they haven't replied within a week then they are most likely not going to reply.
