\"Hobnob
\nHave you ever shared a house or a flat with someone? You are all sitting around the telly watching repeats of Coast<\/a> and you ask one of your flat mates to nip down the shops and buy a packet of Hobnobs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is as much chance of your slovenly flat mate<\/a> putting on his shoes and coat and heading off to Lidl than there is as getting someone to link to you.<\/p>\n

The point I am making is that useful links are extremely difficult to get<\/strong>, if you give it no thought.<\/p>\n

If on the other hand you said, “I have a couple of friends coming over, one of them is that girl you really fancy and by the way did I mention that she loves Hobnobs, do we have any in the cupboard?”<\/p>\n

The chance of the slobby flatmate heading off to Lidl<\/a> increases exponentially.<\/p>\n

Rather than ask for a link<\/a>, make it serve the linkers<\/a> self interest to link.<\/p>\n

Make it your goal to know what the linker is interested in, what gets their juices flowing. What makes their linking finger itch?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
