Being creative is becoming more and more important for a bad a$$ link building campaign!
title is misleading. asking for links is getting harder, sure. getting links, i feel, is easier with such an increase of meta data and community driven sites. i commented earlier on the yahoo answers article agreeing that it is a traffic gold mine. the link exchange is dead, but link building is so easy now that somedays i feel ashamed to be creating so many links.
It’s really more a "link exchanges are getting harder". But link exchanges have always been an ineffective and inefficient use of time, and frankly one of the easiest signals to flag to devalue. Frankly, I don’t link exchanges have any place in real link development campaigns. So I guess the discussion here is "people who don’t really understand links continue to find it difficult to understand links". 2 snarky cents. :)
Quality link building certainly requires a little more effort than it used to, I think that this is in large part related to the fact that an increasing number of people recognise the commercial value that they bring and as a result ask a 2nd question or 2. The days of the "ooh i like ur site here is my link if you like mine" have long gone. OTOH, asking for links shouldnt really be a ’will you link to me’ type of question, in fact the question itself should be silent, the content itself should just speak out by itself and say ’you WILL link to me, cos Im good and you want to be associated with me anyway’. As cliched as it sounds the old maxim of content is king still rings true. The rise of social network tools and sites, SMO’ers, linkbaiters etc should if anything, make the process of link acquisition easier, not harder.
