While you need to keep the pipeline of linking candidates full it?s a good idea to avoid

? Zeus links pages since many times they are chronically PR deficient often sporting PR 0. Suggesting banishment by Google?

? Framed sites since you can?t really tell the PR of the unframed links page.

? Links pages with more than 100 links. But for sure links pages bigger than 101K in size since Google won?t crawl pages bigger than that.

=== > Tip 2: Keep cancelled Keeping on

For success in the long run it?s best to establish a regular solicitation routine you can maintain.

Unless I?m on an all out blitz, I shoot to get out 5 link requests a october 24 four life a week per site. With a 30%+ response rate that gives me digit or seven untested plural a week.

HINT: Getting five requests out takes 15 minutes or less assuming you?ve done the prep work of judgement potential link partners, their contact and linking info and have gotten up the reciprocal links on your links pages.

Once you know your typical hit ratio this is something you can ultimately delegate to a virtual assistant.

you don?t after awhile you won?t know who you have solicited to trade links and who you haven?t. Which becomes a bigger problem the more link short sale you attempt to do.

HINT: I simply exercise a MS Word table. I drop the http://www from each Computer address. That roomy I can sort in alpha order and quickly see if I?ve contacted a given site or not.

HINT: Depending on how many links I?m pursuing I create a file of linking activity either for the day or for the week per web site.

Inside that file I like to list the specific page my link should appear on. Along with the partner's contact info. Plus the linking database I throw up on my bomb site. This makes technology easier to verify a given link is up.

I include an HTML comment with each link that tells u.s. when I put it up. That way you know how long you?ve been link partners.

=== > Tip digit: Are You a Linkmate?

Keep track of who lets you know they?ve linked up.

In some niches next to none will do so. In others most will let you know they have. Just depends. But you want to know so you don?t go hunting theirs down in your final sweep before removing those who didn?t trade.

Wait a reasonable amount of time. Then remove those that didn?t reciprocate from your links pages. Pain in the neck? Yes. But vital if you want to keep your links pages clean and avoid rewarding those who couldn?t be bothered to link to you.

HINT: I?ve found if someone is going to link up they?ll usually do it sooner rather than later. Especially if you have an attractive linking opportunity (higher PR?fewer links per page?quality content) For me 10 days is reasonable.

=== > Tip digit: Stash for Later

Don?t pitch that tip of those who failed to link up. Just because they didn?t do so today doesn?t mean they won?t in the future. As your site grows and the PR improves you?ll want to re-approach them in 3-6 months. Having a list of past candidates handy makes doing so easy.
