How to ask for a link to a blogger if I have linked to his site or a specific post?
What if he din't noticed that I have linked to him or mentioned him in a post?
Should I mail him telling that I have linked to him and then ask for a link.

  • Mail Him, Use his website contact form. If he didn't reply, look up his website admin contact then make a call.

    Find his name on the same website.
    Search him on social Media and PM.
    Almost of Bloggers won LinkedIn profile contact him.
  • Linking to him then asking for a link is daft.

    If you want someone to link to you, offer them money. Simple.

  • You linking to me is no reason for me to link to you.

    You linking to me for a site I consider useful to me is.

    Seems like you're doing link exchanges without first asking if they're interested.

    That's like planning your wedding before you even said Hi for the first time to the lady.

    • Hey, actually it would be beneficial if have linked to the blogger in the past if I am asking for a link.
      And i will be adding that only if you like the content then only link to it.
      Let me know if you have any other strategy and will this strategy work or not. If not, please explain.
      A few bullet points would be enough.

  • Are link pages a good idea for all these traded links or should they be worked into the site content? It's have to have tons of link exchanges.
  • Count me as someone who does do this from time to time. I find that most webmasters, especially if they're in your niche-appreciate a direct request. IE, in my first email I let them know that I want to work to earn a mention in their space, as well as, a link to my site.

    Most bloggers know the deal at this point and the question becomes how do you create some value for them? I find that every blogger has a much different idea about what that might entail

    I don't think it should be straight-forward. You can just email him and let him know about the link and ask him for link back in reply. I guess the better way to get such links is to first contact the blog owners and ask them if they are interested in link exchanges, if you get any positive replies, you can get or with posting the link on your website/blog.

    • Approaching a webmaster just generally about a link exchange will have most webmasters running away. even the term "link exchange" is toxic. I don't see where the Op is far off at least in premise/

      If its good content a webmaster might be inclined to like then it takes what? five seconds to link and half that to remove it later if you wish. Now the content should be worthy of getting a link without any incentive but sometimes a "hey saw your piece on this and linked to it great job there" helps build a relationship. This kind of link building should really bw about building a relationship and for the time involved in that it should be a site with good readership and authority

    That's a reciprocal link so tread lightly as far as SEO and Google.

    My advice is nofollow your outbound link, then ask for a link back to a page on your site (preferably a followed link). Some webmasters won't care if you nofollow the link pointing to their page or SEO (don't mention it's nofollow unless asked). Sometimes direct niche traffic via your link is all webmasters care about.
