Thank you for allowing us to work with you promoting your site(s).
Hello and welcome aboard! I am looking forward to working with you. When you have your list of keywords and URLs ready, simply e-mail them to customerservice{at}linkbuilders.com.
What we will need for your project is a list of keyword phrases and the url to promote, or for deep linking, a spreadsheet set up as the below sample.
KEYWORD PHRASES -
In general, keyword phrases made up of 3 to 4 words respond the quickest in the search engine results pages to any link building/promotion. If you are promoting primarily to your hometown audience then keyword phrases that include reference to your home city and/or state is frequently a very effective approach.
Ten to fifteen keyword phrases for us to use as anchor text is typical but we can actually work with up to 50 keyword phrases if you prefer. Again, it is wise to work with three and four word keyword phrases and/or geo targeting if you are primarily serving a local market.
URLs / PAGES TO PROMOTE -
You are not limited to promoting only your domain name (home page) but you ARE limited to promoting only one domain at a time, one domain per campaign. Yes, we can build links promoting many pages on your site but all to that one site. Not everyone does that of course, most do not promote more than five total pages from their site, but for those that want to spread out the link building (this is called “deep linking”) we are happy to provide that deep linking flexibility. Just send us a simple two column spreadsheet containing the full url of a page plus the related keyphrases. See below for a short two column sample list.
1. One list of keyword phrases and the url to promote. If there is more than one url that you want us to build links promoting then submit your list in the form of a spreadsheet using the following pattern:
| one URL per line | one keywordphrase per line. |
| http://sample.com | widgets on sale |
| http://sample.com | widgets discounted |
| http://sample.com | widgets purchase online |
| http://sample.com/green-widgets.htm | small green widgets |
| http://sample.com/green-widgets.htm | large green widgets |
| http://sample.com/green-widgets.htm | buy green widgets online |
| http://sample.com/blue-widgets.htm | small blue widgets |
| http://sample.com/blue-widgets.htm | large blue widgets |
| http://sample.com/blue-widgets.htm | buy blue widgets online |
| http://sample.com/furry-blue-widgets.htm | furry blue widgets |
How you actually optimize your link emphasis is your best call but please follow the pattern of one row equals one URL plus one keyword phrase. Although most people focus on ten to twenty keyword phrases you can actually do up to 50 lines.
When you finish your spreadsheet please ensure that there are TWO columns containing your information. Unless you are careful you may actually put everything into one column and then we will have to return it to you to be reworked into two columns. Drag your column divider far enough to the right that you can see two individual columns.
Link building projects normally begin within two business days of us receiving all of the information that we need from you.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Please take note that whether you use the “www” in your domain address is relevant and we will follow exactly what you indicate. Some people like <http://www.sample.com> while others prefer <<http://sample.com>> without the www. There is no inherent advantage to either method but you definitely want to use one or the other. Mixing and sometimes referring to www.homepage.com this time then homepage.com without the www will definitely hurt you with your search engine rankings. You also do not want to ever see your home page showing the index.html along the lines of homepage.com/index.html. The search engines see that as yet another independent page on your site. It too, will dilute your page authority and thus your rankings.
