Hi taj,

You certainly came to the right place to ask about linking strategies. I would encourage you to read the posts within this forum and you'll get a really good understanding of what other webmasters do when it comes to linking campaigns. There isn't just a cookie cutter method when it comes to linking, everyone has there own methods and strategies and reasoning. I personally have no set "script" that I send out to webmasters. I visit on-topic sites and if I believe that they have good, useful and relevant information I will email them and ask for a link. If it's a really good page then I'll offer to link back to them as well. Just be nice in your emails and not too forceful. Webmasters do not like seeing phrases like, "If you link to me, I'll link to you", or "I think you should link to me, you'll be glad you did". Just say hi and ask them to look at your site and see if they'd be interested in linking to you. It's time consuming, but well worth the effort :) Good luck!

Dave.
