          Try this guide. Some templates here:

          http://www.seomoz.org/blog/broken-link-building-guide-from-noob-to-novice

          Customize and tailor each email as much as possible.  Really look at the target site, follow them on twitter, learn about them, etc

          For example, I recently started following a target.  I was going to do a broken link email, but soon enough, they were ranting in a blog post about their brand usernames being taken by squatters and inactive accounts on twitter/facebook.  I used that to reach out to them and suggest what to do to claim their usernames since I actually had the same problem.  I didn't even mention or request links, but they are now linking to our homepage and referencing other pages on my site.  All I did was sign my emails with my domain name, so they know who i am, where i'm from.

          Essentially I made a friend by offering value, and asking for nothing in exchange.  That target would have been tough to get a link from otherwise.

          In case that hadn't worked out, I WOULD have eventually asked directly for the link after having made a great first impression.

            In the past, I have offered a variety of benefits to the sites I am contacting. Here are a few I can think of off the top of my head:

            • Relevant and original blogs or articles

            • sharing their site or advertisement on social media profile

            • writing a testimonial for businesses or individuals that I have worked with

            • "how-to" articles

            • Infographics or visual guides

            • Bringing typos or broken links to webmaster's attention

            • A reciprocal link

              Hi Klarke,

              What would the title and first sentence of the email be if I'm doing "broken' link building?

                  In my experience with sending out link request emails, they always want to know how it benefits them. Whether you are offering content, infographics, guest blog post, broken link corrections, reciprocal link, endorsing them on a social media or providing a testimonial for their business, I have seen the best results by telling them how it will benefit their website.

                  Create a compelling title that mentions the benefit so you have a higher open rate. Getting them to open is half the battle.

                  Also, try including your website url in the body of the message so it easy for them to click through and review your site:

                  "Our pagerank 4 website - http://www.example.com - which carries (Here I said what we carry) You have similar sites located in the "Other" Section on your link page."

                  Make sure your request is short, clear and direct. Possibly rewording your opening sentence to:

                  "Would you consider adding our site on the "Links" section list?"

                    Yes, they work ok - best to keep an excel sheet to track who you have emailed. If you dont get a response after a couple of weeks resend. If you still dont get a response then move on.

                    You can pick some links up, but just make sure you don't spam web-masters and that your requests are relevant.

                      Try using 'broken' link building.

                      There's several guides and posts here on Seomoz.  Just search.

                      Basically, you scan through the list of links, and you'll probably find a few broken or 404 pages.  Point those out and also recommend the addition of new resources, including your own.  It works extremely well, and you don't come across as the typical emailer that the webmaster probably encounters everyday.

                      Round off that strategy with a regular guest posts, link bait and other content marketing ...and you're solid.

                          Possibly this:

                          Hi,

                          Bob here from the ** * * and I wanted to drop an email to you and compliment your site. Nice layout, good info, good resources.

                          I was looking around at a few different sites for product/service information and I thought your's was one of the best.

                          That being said, I also noticed you guys have some great content related to product/service.  I currently work for a company that maintains a website that offers product/service, www.domainname.com.

                          We are a nationally recognized, reliable source for product/service on the web and I was wondering if you'd be interested in exchanging/advertising via links between your site and mine?

                          If not, thanks for the time and keep up the good work!

                          Thanks,
                          Bob

                            Yes, I read that. I could not locate a name for who I was writing to. I tried to structure the email according to that article. Do you have any specific suggestions?

                              Hi,

                              There was actually a great post on this subject a few days ago, worth taking a look. I think based on this, you could improve the structure of your email. http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-to-write-email-to-get-a-better-response-rate

                                My url disappeared from Google but Search Console shows indexed. This url has been indexed for more than a year. Please help!

                                Super weird problem that I can't solve for last 5 hours. One of my urls: https://www.dcacar.com/lax-car-service.html Has been indexed for more than a year and also has an AMP version, few hours ago I realized that it had disappeared from serps. We were ranking on page 1 for several key terms. When I perform a search "site:dcacar.com " the url is no where to be found  on all 5 pages. But when I check my Google Console it shows as indexed I requested to index again but nothing changed. All other 50 or so urls are not effected at all, this is the only url that has gone missing can someone solve this mystery for me please. Thanks a lot in advance.

                                Should I keep, or disavow PA 1 DA 0 backlink?

                                Hi, I am doing link cleaning, and still a bit new to this, and would appreciate the community's help 🙂 So, I have a site which has quite a lot of low DA (or no DA) follow backlinks. BUT, the links are from my niche the sites are not spammy the anchors are okay and they are from good Geo location for me The only negative thing is that these sites are a bit "dead" meaning that there is no new content, and thus there is no traffic or clicks coming from them. Should I keep those links or disavow them? To me these links are natural, but do they help me at all.... FYI I have plenty of good DA links. But what do you guys think, if I disavow all these low DA backlinks, does Google think that I am trying to manipulate my backlink structure to look better than it naturally is? Cheers guys and girls! 🙂

                                Too many backlinks from one domain?

                                I've been in the process of creating a tourism-based website for the state of Kansas. I'm a photographer for the state, and have inked a nice little side income to my day job as a web designer by selling prints from Kansas (along with my travels elsewhere). I'm still in the process of developing it, but it's at least at a point that I need to really start thinking about SEO factor of the amount of backlinks I have from it going back to my main photography website. The Kansas site is at http://www.kansasisbeautiful.com and my photography website is http://www.mickeyshannon.com. This tourism website will serve a number of purposes: To promote the state and show people it's not just a flat, boring place. To help promote my photography. The entire site is powered by my photography. To sell a book I'm planning to publish later this year/early next year of Kansas images. To help increase sales of photography prints of my work. What I'm worried about is the amount of backlinks I have going from the Kansas site to my photography site. Not to mention every image is hosted on my photography domain (no need to upload to two domains when one can serve the same purpose). I'm currently linking back to my site on most pages via a little "Like the Photos? Buy a print" link in the top right corner. In addition, when users get to the website map, all photo listings click back to a page on my photography site that they can purchase prints. And the main navigation also has a link for "Photos" that takes them to my Kansas photo galleries on my photography website as well. The question I have: Is it really bad SEO-wise to have anywhere from 1 to 10+ backlinks on every page from one domain (kansasisbeautiful.com) linking back to mickeyshannon.com? Would I be better served moving all of the content from kansasisbeautiful into a subdirectory on my photography site (mickeyshannon.com/kansas/) and redirecting the entire domain there? I haven't actually launched this website yet, so I'm trying to make the right call before pushing it to the public. Any advice would be appreciated!

                                What referrer is shown in http request when google crawler visit a page?

                                Is it legit to show different content to http request having different referrer? case a: user view one page of the site with plenty of information about one brand, and click on a link on that page to see a product detail page of that brand, here I don't want to repeat information about the brand itself case b: a user view directly the product detail page clicking on a SERP result, in this case I would like to show him few paragraph about the brand Is it bad? Anyone have experience in doing it? My main concern is google crawler. Should not be considered cloaking because I am not differentiating on user-agent bot-no-bot. But when google is crawling the site which referrer will use? I have no idea, does anyone know? When going from one link to another on the website, is google crawler leaving the referrer empty?

                                Does anyone know of any tools that can help split up xml sitemap to make it more efficient and better for seo?

                                Hello All, We want to split up our Sitemap , currently it's almost 10K pages in one xml sitemap but we want to make it in smaller chunks splitting it by category or location or both. Ideally into 100 per sitemap is what I read is the best number to help improve indexation and seo ranking. Any thoughts on this ? Does anyone know or any good tools out there which can assist us in doing this ? Also  another question I have is that should we put all of our products (1250) in one site map or should this also be split up in to say products for category etc etc ? thanks Pete

                                Can Google read my backlink in Javascript??

                                Hi SeoMoz community! I have a software product, which our clients implement onto their websites. It is like a pop up box. I know that backlinks are very important for SEO ranking, and I really want to give our clients 2 options of product: 1. you can get the free/cheaper option if you use the code which has a keyworded backlink to our site on it 2. you can pay small fee if you don't want to use the version with a link to our site on it Now, the problem is that the product is written entirely in Javascript, and I don't think that Google crawls this, do they? Is there a way around this? Thanks for your help!
