multiple site marketing development

what do you do, if anything?

[rfung]

this is for webmasters who run several sites and regularly create new ones.

i have 7 sites. I'd like to do some link development. But as you can imagine, no sooner I have a site done, i may be starting on a new one. Which means that its hard to get into building inbound links for the sites recently built.

do you do any of those, or rely strickly on in page seo?
if you do something, where do you fit link building, and how long do you keep doing it?conceivable you could spend a billion years doing link building for a single site alone. Is there a level that you reach upon when you can move on to the next site?

Good question, I was just wondering about that myself.

I submit to the major directories and some smaller ones so the site gets indexed by google.

For my main site I did a lot of link exchance, but until now I didn't do any for my new sites. Link exchanging is a really boring job and I rather like to spend my time developing new sites, but I guess I should at least do a bit of linking.

Hey,

You are doing the same thing I am Rfung, building site after site, with really no headroom in between.

Unfortunately, link building right now is important from what I have heard. Set out a goal of say requesting 10 links per day per previous site, while building your new site.

Oh, and if you have proper on page SEO for all of your pages, generally only build links to the ones that need it (competitive keywords).

Hope that helps,

C.K.

Amen on this topic. I have about 7 sites and really hate spending my time emailing people about links when I'd much rather be building new sites / improving my current ones. Of course, I know it is an important part, but it is a pain.

I'd hire an outside agency, but I don't always trust other people (the entrepreneurs curse - not trusting others...)

The more useful a site is, the less you have to ask for links. Instead of spending the time requesting and/or exchanging links, spend a little more time building an even more useful site. It'll be worth it in the long run.

Personally, I just make it a habit to spend 1-2 hours per day on link development for my sites. Which site varies, usually on personal opinion or evaluation, but they all get done eventually. Then you've still got the rest of the day to concentrate on your new projects.
