1. It all depends on what my end goal is. Yes if I’m doing this for static opportunities, such as fixing broken links. No if I’m doing larger scale outreach, such as promoting an infographic.

2. It depends on how many people you contact. I just did outreach to 60 different sites at once, and within 36 hours of the initial outreach, I had my first couple of links. If it’s less people, than probably a little longer (and vice versa).

3. No, but I will soon. I’ll be trying to write more about outsourcing certain processes.

4. Once again, it depends. If their niche doesn’t offer much opportunity, then yes, because you have to make the most of the few prospects you get. If they’re in a broader, less competitive niche, and the assets I’m working with are of high quality, than usually not.

Hope this is the REAL information you’re looking for Corey . Let me know what you think!

Now, enough greasing of the wheels, and onto the meat of the comment. I understand that blogger outreach is a more labor-intensive way to do link-building, but I have a few questions regarding this strategy:

1) Do you normally use this method on its own, or do you supplement it with other ‘bulk’ linking methods as well? (i.e. niche directories, article directories, etc.)

2) How long does it take a slightly seasoned link builder such as yourself to get a single link using this system? (i.e. is it feasible?)

3) Do you outsource (or insource) any parts of this process?

4) Would you use this same system on a client that had a $500-1000/mo. budget? If not, what would you use? If so, how many links would you expect to build for that budget?

I know these are some specific (and slightly revealing) questions, but I can tell you that if there’s one thing that every blog out there lacks right now, it’s the willingness to give REAL information.

And thanks for the comment. Hope to see you back here in the future!
