Segment: Required Method of Link Acquisition

Organizing link opportunity lists by required acquisition methods makes it easier for you to orchestrate the acquisition phase. For example, there will be a grouping that requires more personalized attention - several emails, a phone call even. And then there will be niche directory submissions. Sorting your link opportunities by acquisition methods helps to structure your work load and improve your link building efficiencies.

Here are some examples of segments based on link acquisition methods:

• Establish phone contact to determine link prospect's needs
• Request link inclusion on a list, article, blog post, etc
• Make your link offer
• Submit article/press release/blog post
• Add your listing
• Answer a question
• Leave a comment
