Hey bobby
I messaged like 10 websites similar to mine and got one guy to link back to me, but when i go to my page with seo quake i havent gained any backlinks. Its been 3 days since he linked me and he has 10,000 LD. How often do you get someone to link back to you? Im having a pretty hard time getting responses.
Thanks again for all the info, this is one of the best posts ive read
It all depends on the niche and PR 0 of your website as well.
In the beginning many people will not link to you simply because you don't benefit them by being a PR 0 or not having many LD backlinks.
However, a few will link back to you, and it can take anywhere from 1 week to 2 months for 20%-80% of their backlinks to benefit you and show up.
So the 10,000 LD guy linking to you, you will mostly get about 2k-8k backlinks from him within a max of 2 months time.
It is also a numbers game, and you have to word yourself correctly as well in the email you send, something like:
Subject: Link Exchange
"Hi,
I have a website that has a good amount of backlinks, and is growing at a very fast rate. I have visited your website multiple times, and I really like it.
I think it would do both of us a great benefit by linking to each other, so that both our visitors, and the search engines benefit from our mutual exchange.
I have added your website: TheirSite.com to mine at MyWebsite.com
Please add my site to yours with the following:
Anchor: My Anchor
Site: My URL
Thanks for your time and have a great week!
