Good post, it is interesting and informative however don’t you think spamming of emails mostly depends on the kind of database you collected. You should be attentive while searching for resource gathering, you must have to check whether the site require the reciprocal linking or not, also need to be careful about false email-id’s .I think email content comes after that as if any site is interested in link exchange it won’t be the concern that howz the content of requesting mail but yes, sometimes good content can pay you more…:)

@Edwin; well, sex sells, so the getting-links-part isn’t the most difficult part with adult sites,,

@David; I hope not at cheapseoservices78@gmail.com :)

Wow, awesome post.

WHY is by far the most important; tell me why your link is relevant for my users/readers/audience… why my site will be the worse for not linking to you.

Wiep, email me if you want a beta invite for BuzzStream — it’s an influencer relationship management tool that we’re working on that puts this process on steroids. You are so totally on track with your approach.

That’s why I don’t do link building for adult sites..it’s hard enough to obtain links for decent family friendly websites..
