After more than 13 years, and tens of thousands of questions, Moz Q&A closed on 12th December 2024. Whilst we’re not completely removing the content - many posts will still be possible to view - we have locked both new posts and new replies. More details here.
In the past, I have offered a variety of benefits to the sites I am contacting. Here are a few I can think of off the top of my head:
Relevant and original blogs or articles
sharing their site or advertisement on social media profile
writing a testimonial for businesses or individuals that I have worked with
"how-to" articles
Infographics or visual guides
Bringing typos or broken links to webmaster's attention
A reciprocal link
I think Rankerizer - http://www.rankerizer.com/ - does a pretty good job of tracking your ranking for multiple keywords. And you can easily export results into a CSV file.
