Melanie Nathan writes "This post is a follow up to my creating and managing your link campaign article.

These are not techniques for gaining natural links rather they are methods of contacting other sites about your business and getting them to link to you – without initially coming right out and asking for a link. It occurred to me to add a few links to actual places where you can get free .edu links, however I did that before over at seomoz and the free sources are now useless due to being spammed. "

Melanie is one of those smart people that never show off. No boosting, no "look how smart I am!"; it all just comes out naturally whenever I talk with her or ask her something.

Thanks for accepting the guest post request, Melanie!

great post melanie! now if only i had the time to manually request some links.

you cracked me up: "If you’d like to see people’s butts pucker up tighter than a snare drum though, then by all means use the word “link” in your email address."

@jeffquip: No thanks necessary Jeff... thanks for having me :D

@UtahSEOpro: I'll have to up my game then. I also do a lovely renditon of the cheesy poofs song.

@kimber:  Hahaha I heard that somewhere when I was little. It stuck with me for some silly reason.

Thanks everyone!

I've seen people have so much success link building this way.

@Kimber I think PR firms need to start picking up on this method of link building (they're well equipped to handle it), and then we need to pay them to do it for us.
