The Truth About Search Engine Optimization

6.2. Finding Sites to Make a Link Request

To find sites that are appropriate for an inbound link request, you should:

• Consider the sites you find useful, entertaining, and informative.

• Use the Web's taxonomic directories to find sites in your category and in related categories

• Use specialized searching syntax to find the universe of sites that search engines such as Google regard as "related" to yours. For example, the search related: www.digitalfieldguide.com produces a list of sites that Google thinks are similar to www.digitalfieldguide.com.
