        Hi,

        Scrap Link Building... Treat it as Link Earning, period!

        Best Software? No software is best software!

        Hope this helps,

          Instead of asking for something, stand out from the crowed and GIVE them something.

          Link to them in one of your posts, share something of there's on your FB profile, engage on their forums and add value to the conversations.

          Helping someone without asking for anything in return is a great way to build a lasting relationship. In time, they will link to you without you even having to ask, even if you ask, at least you wont be another random in their email inbox. After engaging with them, at least they would know who you are and might respond positively to your emails.

          Just remember, its not about "building" links anymore. Its about earning them!

            If you don't know the difference between 'their' and 'there' then I doubt that you are capable of creating the sort of content that will get links from worthwhile places.

            If your business can support it get a good company to help you. If your business can't support it then consider dropping it and finding out what you're good at. Don't waste another second of your life.

            The internet is 99.9% rubbish and the current trend is to reward the 0.1%.

              Hi,

              The reality is that some of these links will have been paid for (in the form of ads, advertorials, etc).

              Other ways to obtain "quick links":

              • Contact webmasters (of relevant websites) where you spot broken links. Kindly mention this and ask them to include a link to your website... they might be more willing since you helped them spot some broken links.
              • Do some Blog post commenting on relevant Blogs.
              • Add your site to some directories.

              Obviously non of the above is very clever and as mentioned before it would be more beneficial to develop a content strategy and start earning links, but in order to get things moving quickly it could help you a little already?

              As to software, I do like Buzzstream I must admit because it allows you to manage your outreach campaigns more efficiently.

              Cheers
