Just a quick one to let you know that I guest posted over at Search Engine People today. I wrote about the reciprocity method to link building which is basically a simple way that you (yes, YOU!) can get backlinks to your website, without having to be a link building expert.
It’s more commonsense than rocket science so please don’t judge me too harshly at the simplicity of the technique. I know there will be some hardcore link builders out there who may scoff at it, but the fact remains that there are site owners out there who aren’t as hardcore as you and they have to start somewhere.
For those of you that will be trying the Reciprocity Method, I plan to post follow up articles here, that will help you find suitable prospects within your industry as well as custom email templates that are tailored to fit almost any situation.
I started out as a small ecommerce site owner myself and I know how hard it can be to generate results. If you have any questions or need some help implementing the technique, please don’t hesitate to ask.

I love the reciprocity method Melanie. You’re pretty clever, eh? I’m wringing my hands in anxious anticipation of you posting the custom email templates.
thanks for that, Melanie….muchly appreciated!
and on another note, we just started our own SEO blog here at - http://www.canuckseo.com!

This method is pretty risky because you can never know how the site owner will respond, but it could get you really valuable links if it works. I also would be interested in the email templates, I am very curious.
