I am contacting you about cross linking. I am interested in virginiaquilter=
.com because it looks like it's relevant to a site that I am the link manag=
er for. The site is about discount original brand (OEM) Epson ink cartridge=
s and Lexmark ink cartridges.

I keep the web address confidential and will send it to you only if you giv=
e me permission to do so. Just let me know if it's OK, and I'll send you th=
e web address for your review. If you approve of the site, then we'll excha=
nge links.

Looking forward to your reply.

Sincerely,
Pam Stevenson

Write a very polite letter to the owner of the site (use WHOIS to find
that out), explaining why exchanging links would benefit both his Web
site and yours and then ask for the link.

Make sure the link fragment you provide utilizes your major search
term in the actual link.

It takes some effort to contact hundreds of people about exchanging
links, but success is never easy.

I'm impressed with the way a helpful post turns into an ad.

Why not rely on your very long sig for business or use your own
service if it's that good!

Wouldn't it be fantastic if the link you provided was actually a
working Web site, rather than a banner ad? You could have your Web
site utilizing other people's traffic to get you business, right on
their Web site.

Is that really possible? Come and find out.

Trading links is only beneficial if the traffic directed to you is
somehow complementary. People with quilts may certainly use ink

OP on 13th August - I think I see a pattern emerging here
