LINKSMITH

Reaching out to webmasters used to be this awkward afterthought—ugh, I’ve sent those robotic emails like "Dear Sir/Madam" garbage and got total silence back. It’s not all spreadsheets and metrics—sometimes you just have to actually say something real. If you don’t sound like someone who belongs in the corner office of a dusty library, people might respond. Especially if there’s mutual benefit. Like if you’re gonna pitch something and then suddenly say, hey, you can order link building through us—now you’ve shifted the whole angle. There’s skin in the game. Suddenly it’s not just an ask, it’s a deal.
