How To Request a Reciprocal Link

You get more response from reciprocal link requests when you have already added your potential link partner's website to your pages.

A well written email that simply explains why the link exchange would be beneficial is short, to the point and personal.

The example below shows that I've gone to someone's website and looked at their products. I've used the webmaster's first name and mentioned their website to make it clear this is not just a form letter going out.

Hi Ron, We've added Adirondack Chairs & Furniture to our garden direcotry at http://www.zone3garden.com/links2.cfm?recordid=13 .

Being a website resource for northern, cold climate gardeners we thought your site would meet our visitor's needs. If you would prefer NOT to be included, let me know.

We always appreciate return links but they are not required.

Thanks,
