What's the typical response time to link building email requests?
-
Hello Forum,
We're about to embark on a link building campaign and were curious about how long, on average, it takes to get a response to an email requesting links to our page. We're trying to come up with a timeline estimate for our campaign.
Thanks

In my experience, if they haven't replied within a week then they are most likely not going to reply.

I am currently involved in a smaller-scale email campaign, promoing some new content we put up. I have received emails back within 1-2 days, if they were going to come.
However, I am very new at this still. You might chalk that response time up to the quality (or lack thereof) of my emails or the fact that this campaign hasn't lasted very long. If someone emails me back in two weeks, I'll be glad!
Hope that helps!

I agree with laellester. I rarely get a link sending an email but I do get links if I call people first.

super difficult to answer but I agree it would be good to be able to attach a cost to a link.
Depends on the link builder and approach being taken by them.
Its pays to make contact with people in the niche and build a relationship with them before asking them for a link.

Spammy Links in MOZ but when I go to the external link I can't find a link to us
I was going to try to contact webmasters to see if they would remove some of our spammy links. I see alot of them in MOZ but when you go to the site our anchor text is not there. Is this good? How often does MOZ refresh external links. Please see: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/anchors?site=www.totalvac.com None of the links for the anchor text <a class="clickable title link-pivot" title="See top linking pages that use this anchor text." data-text="vacuum cleaner parts vacuum parts vacuum bags vacuum cleaner bags" data-id="46391436859">vacuum cleaner parts vacuum part...</a> in MOZ exist? We got hit extremely hard by Penguin in May

Finding email addresses: Link Building
We're going to have 50-100 useful, well-written articles and we want them to be linkbait, and to use them in our backlink campaign. I assume when doing a backlink campaign, it is very important who you send your email to. What are the best ways to find the right email address, and who/what am I looking for?

Creative link building ideas for law sites
I have a client who does not actively participate in the content writing or resource providing part of optimization or link building. I want to build some more links to the site outside of content spreading and guest blogging. I have read a lot of the recent articles on creative ways to build links but feel that most would not apply to this kind of site. Any ideas on creative link building methods for a law services info site?

Build Links with Bloggers
Hi! A few days ago, someone asked about how to ask links from bloggers and we got good answers, specially from Egol. But, I do want to add to that question: after conducting research on each blogger and make sure they have good quality content, how would you factor in their page rank, visitors, page view and social media info? if they don't have much traffic, with PR3 (we are PR4), which means we can't count on too much traffic from them, but, will backlink from such places deemed as quality link by Google? I do understand the higher number in PR and traffic is better, but, in our case, they don't come by often. Is it still worthwhile to do the lower sites?

Should I optimize/link build all my pages at once?
I'm currently starting to optimize about 30 area specific pages for a property maintenance company and was wondering, what's the best way to link build multiple pages at once? Should I link build for all of the 30 the pages at once, or maybe focus on 5 individual pages - get them ranking well, then focus on the next 5 and so on?
