The Perfect Link Builder
June 18th, 2007 by James Omdahl
I’d say if there is one skill in online marketing that I’d love to get better at, it would be link building. Most of my attempts to reach out and build links tend to end in a disastrous silence. In the last couple of months all of my requests for links from sites except for one or two has been ignored, and quite truthfully, that can be a little more than annoying. Maybe it’s because of our affiliate program, maybe it’s because I’m late to the link request game, or maybe it is just because I’m not offering money for the links. Either way, link building is hard…and it takes the right kind of people to be successful at it.
People like Eric Ward.
For those of you who don’t know Eric Ward, Eric is considered the godfather of link building. Some people even call him Link Moses. If there is one person in this world you would want to hire for a link building campaign, it would be Eric. Sadly, I’ve tried to contact him to enlist his help to develop links for InsureMe, but he never returned my email. I guess that’s what you get to do when you’re Moses.
Since I can’t hire him, I guess I can try to learn from him. Like today I learned what makes Eric so successful in the link building world by reading his column at Search Engine Land. Check it out if you want to do the same.

James,
I thank you for the compliment and apologize for missing your email. I get about 1,000 emails a day with so many crazy requests that I often miss the real ones.
