So my Blacklisting post got a lot of attention, here’s an example of getting it right when approaching bloggers or anyone really:
Hi Damien,
We viewed a link from mulley.net for Cava Restaurant to FindaRestaurant.ie – and just want to say ‘thanks’ for the link – your site is very informative.
Again – many thanks.
Warmest regards,
Debra.
Imagine if every company thanked someone for a link, just like bloggers do when someone links to them. It says a company is listening, they’re thankful for the link and they don’t try and sell you anything in addition either.
2500 people have subscribed to my website instead of coming back each day. You can subscribe to the site using a feedreader or email. I'm also on Twitter. My online marketing blog might also be worth a visit. Thanks for visiting - Damien.
And would you be more likely to link to them again or entertain future reach outs… of course
*yay* for a happy post
