This is a great post! I agree that you don’t have to turn each one of your colleagues or employees into full-time link developers and that awareness can help dramatically.

By having a solid company vision and educating colleagues that it’s always about relational marketing, I think the link building will come natural.

@Andy; you don’t have to turn each one of your colleagues or employees into full-time link developers, creating awareness can help a lot as well. After all, they’re at their best doing their own jobs. Additional, you can provide a training, briefing or workshop for maximum effect.

It’s a good idea but I can’t but think that your chances of galvanising the rest of the company in a link building scheme are near to zero…

The great majority of people are employed for a particular purpose, some in very specialist roles… getting them to take on what they would consider another individual’s or department’s job would take quite a lot of persuasion and result in very few links…

Great post! Some company’s don’t even know their potential for building links. They still think linkbuilding is some technical mumble.

And yes it’s a lot more fun teaching a company and letting them come up with creative ideas also.

At least it’s allways better then working with the traditional really boring directorys.

@Ayumi; It certainly won’t put you out of your job, it might only change some of your tasks. In stead of just building links, you should try talking to and training your client. This not only improves the efficiency of your campaign, but it also makes your job a lot more fun ;)

lol, the IT guy looks like a stud..

Nice article Wiep. Sometimes we forget that link building is integrated to every part of the business – from production to sales to executive. There are always opportunities to build links.

What makes you think that’s not a successful picture?

I’m an IT guy and I’m successful! ;p

Really well thought out post, if I had employees I’d make them work for me like this.

Hmmmm…. Why is it that every image pictures successful people but *not* the IT guy….
