Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I checked out the first of your two links and found it very helpful. Lookk forward to the other one and reading them more thoroughly.

I really appreciate your help.  Thank you.

Thank you, Keri for your samples and suggestions.  Are you saying that I would inform a potential link that I have articles(which I do) which their customers might find helpful and then ask if they would link to that specific page?

Thank you!

Thank you so much.  I appreciate it!

I get "form letter" type requests for links all the time from companies whose product has absolutely no relationship to mine.  I always decline them.  But I really want to build up link juice, and I'm wondering how to begin.  Is the "form letter" all right to send or should it be more personal?  I sell tablecloths; I assume I should go to home decor companies?

Thanks in advance!
