So you want to make a bit of a splash in your space and want one of the authority blogs within your space to notice you. You may want this for a number of reasons.
- A joint venture
- Requesting a link
- Advice
- Request for mentoring
- Asking for a review
The problem with the authority blogger is that they are very busy. It's one of the things that signifies a successful blogger. If they are not busy then what are they doing? As they are busy it makes it difficult for them to notice you. It's nothing personal, they just don't have the time fo chit chat.
So what do you do?
Easy, send them some traffic. And when I say some traffic, we are talking about over a thousand. It's actually not that hard to do. Find a piece of worthy content on their site, and go to work on it.
- Stumbleupon
- digg
- Proppeller
- Sphinn (if it's online marketing)
- Link to it from your blog
- Blog about it
- Tell your friends to vote for your submits
in other words, send them a shed load of traffic. So much traffic that when you approach them they will welcome you with hugs and a hot pot of mint tea.
