Finding specific name to send email to: Broken Link Building

[BobGW]

Hello,

I am doing BLB (broken link buidling). I have sites to send emails to for a backlink, but what are all the tricks you know in finding the name of who to contact at these websites?

Here's my initial email borrowed from a John Cooper in the comments of this article: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/broken-link-building-guide-from-noob-to-novice

Hi!

I just stumbled across a few broken links on the website, and I didn't know who to notify. Do you think you could help me out?

Thanks

I use BuzzStrem.  It is great for finding all the contact info of people I try to reach.  I also use rapportive plugging on gmail if I know the domain and the name of the person, but no email.

This is a good SeoMoz article on how to use some tools to find contact information.

This is interesting.

I'm interested in the free tools.

What percentage of the time do you actually find a specific email address, and what do you do when you can't find one.
