I find link building to be the most difficult part of SEO. It is both difficult to get people to respond to email requests for links, and I'm also skeptical about linking to sites that send requests to me. Two questions: 1. Does anyone have any suggestions for tools that can help to quickly and accurately evaluate a requesting site? I don't want to have my clients link to sites that could hurt them later. 2. Does anyone have any experience with calling site owners by phone (when the phone number is available) to request links? This sounds unorthodox, but I'm wondering if this will help establish credibility with the site you are requesting the link from and show them you are serious, a real person, etc..

It's usually the people that open up a nice email conversation with me and never ask for a link that I consider linking to. -Pat Michael,

I wouldn't ever send a requiest like that for my own site/company but I bet it offers them some fascinating data on how that type of link request compares to a more traditional approach.

If you can't find it via the home page, be a little suspicious. Be careful of people offering a recipricol link from an non indexed page.

What made was the swearing, as it makes it sound more real. A quick look at the site confirmed my fears. It was kinda funny, an seo company using frames. I bet they have had success, it will be interesting to monitor who links to them. I got the same email this morning, I clicked through. What made was the swearing, as it makes it sound more real.
