Link Campaign - Basic List

[bethabernathy]

Hi There - I am out of it, so let me apologize, to start. I got a call yesterday from an individual wanting to buy a list of sites that he could exchange links with. I said I don't have a standard list for every industry. I said I have lists that I use for the industries I specialize in.

He said that it was his understanding that there are lists available for any industry and that most that practice SEO would have those lists.

I was wondering, short of a Yahoo or ODP directory link, do you all have standard lists of sites, willing to reciprocate links, that you can use for a client in any industry. These would be free links. :)

Nope.

I'd be surprised if anyone did? - thats a very tall order unless you specialize in a very tight area beth.

If he's so clever, why does he need an seo? ;)

I like to do the old special searches:

add url +kw
add resource +kw
etc etc

then a few directory/site specific ones like
inurl:add_url.php kw

I wonder ... what is the going rate to coordinate 200 reciprocal free links?

I have a non-specific list I sell on SEO Testing, but it is directory, one time paid, annual paid and so forth. Nothing niche specific. I still have about 200 more links to add into it though when time allows. This is probably more new launch specific than anything.

The trouble with any such lists is that they could become obselete pretty quickly - quick some churn in domain names.
