How To Ask For Links 3
Many people complain that when they ask for links, or try to share their link on various communities, that they experience little to no success, or even get banned from the venue they are trying to reach.
Well, you have to make sure to follow the rules!
When you’re posting your links on forums, make sure it is allowed by the community to append your link to your signature. Don’t post your link in new threads and replies all throughout the message board, instead, look for an advertising or promotion specific forum where the administrators want these sort of threads to be placed. (e.g. a “post your link” forum, or a “review my site” forum.)
When posting comments to blog, don’t clutter your post with links to your blog, instead focus your energies on contributing something back to the blog (provide information, ask a question, etc.) and leave your link in the URL field. I can pretty much guarantee your comment will be approved and you will gain a relevant backlink.
I hope this has helped you out, following these guidelines has ensured that 99.9% of my comments get approved, and I’ve never been banned from a message board for promoting my website within a reasonable means.
True, all you have to do is follow the rules of the forums you are getting yourself involved with. You would not like to mess up with forum moderators who are sometimes very picky. As to blogs, make meaningful comments and show real interest in what you are commenting in. Before you know it, you get a link even without asking for it.
Great post
I’d need more links too!:) I have never had my comments banned. And I do tend to comment a lot!
