I've decided to spend a lot of time obtaining incoming links for my site www.surviveoutdoors.com. This was sparked by a realization that just about all inbound links contain the words "survive", and "outdoors". Not many people search on the word survive, but outdoors is a different story. It appears thousands of people search on outdoors a day.
Anyway, I'm currently ranked ~32 on Google for the general term 'outdoors' and I think it would be a fun goal to get into the top 10 on surch a general phrase. So I'm contacting people for link exchanges.
Sending people an email requesting a link exchange is easy, however there are many sites that freely link to sites without it being reciprocal. So I'm trying to think of a good way to be friendly, nice, and properly represent my site when asking for a free link. It's extremely hard and was wondering if anyone has any ideas? I think it's important to mention the size and originality of content, as well as the thousands of unique visitors we receive a day... but then I don't want it to sound obnoxious causing the person to delete the email.
Any thoughts? Thanks.
