Link Building Tip: Ask Your Customers

This article is over 10 years old. The content within may be out of date.

We all know that building links to your page is how to win the popularity contest within specific SERP. A tip I’ve heard bouncing around the SEO world is simple and easy, with good potential. Just ask for a link in your customer emails. After a purchase, marketing emails or any other email sent out to customers, send them a specific link request. We’re going to start using this technique with some of the sites we’re working on. A simple request on the bottom of your email, something like:

“Thanks for your purchase. Do you have a blog? Link to us! Just copy and paste this code:

<a href=http://www.website.com>Keyword Rich Text Here </a>”

It’s easy- and if placed toward the bottom of your email, shouldn’t ruffle any feathers. It’s a pretty casual and friendly request.
