Managing profiles & emails for backlinking...

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about getting started with backlinking. This subject may be covered by Angela or Paul when you subscribe (I haven't yet, obviously), but I'd like to know up front.

Let me say that I already use LastPass to manage user IDs and passwords. That's not what this question is about.

So the issue is; do you set up a new email for each niche you create a profile for? Is this email based on your own website?

For example, say your niche is coffee pots and your site is mycoffeepots.kom. Do you set up an email of BillyBob-at-mycoffeepots.kom and use that email for all of the profiles you create where you're linking to coffee pot related content?

If you have several niches, do you do this same process for each niche?

Do you then forward each of those email addresses to a gmail account or something, so everything goes to one place?

Or, do you set up some single, generic email address like BillyBob512-at-gmail.kom and just use that same one for everything?

Also, do you invent a new first and last name for each niche profile you create? I'd rather not be making up multiple names for myself.

I'm just trying to wrap my brain around managing this process, looking ahead in case I end up in 10-20 different niches or something.

Thanks,
Jason
