SEO | Link building | Adding link to an article

Subject: Awesome [Topic] article!!

Hi Contact: First name,

I was looking for content on [Topic] today, when I stumbled on your article: [Article Title].

Good stuff! I especially enjoyed [Something specific from their article].

Also, I just published a new guide on [Your Topic]: [URL].

As someone that writes about [Topic], I thought you’d enjoy it.

My guide may also make a nice addition to your page. Either way, keep up the awesome work with Company: Company domain name!

SEO | Link building | Broken links

Subject: Problem with Company: Company domain name

Hi Contact: First name,

Are you still updating your site?

I was searching for content on [Topic] when I came across your excellent page: [Page Title or URL].

However, I noticed a few links didn’t seem to be working:
[URLs of broken links]

Also, I recently published [Brief Content Pitch]. It may make a good replacement for the [Point Out a Specific Broken Link].

Either way, I hope this helped you out 🙂

Thanks,

Hi Contact: First name,

I was just browsing around your resources page today, and among the lists of great resources, were some broken links.

Here’s a few of them:
[URL 1] [URL 2] [URL 3]

Oh, and I have a website, [Your Website], that also regularly posts quality content related to [Topic]. If you think so too, feel free to post a link to it on your resources page.

Either way I hope this helps and keep up the good work!

Thanks,

SEO | Link building | Outdated resource

Subject: Outdated links on your Website

Hi Contact: First name,

I was searching for [Topic] today and I came across your awesome article about [article topic].
Anyway, I couldn’t help but notice that you mentioned [business gone out of business] on the page.

As you may have heard, [business gone out of business] recently went out of business and shut down their entire site ([link to site]).

You may want to remove their URL from your article.

Here’s a screenshot of where the link is located:

Also, I recently published a [guide/post] on [topic]:
[link to post]

Might make a nice addition to the page :)

Either way, keep up the awesome work!

Here’s a screenshot of where that link is located: [Screenshot]

Also, I recently published a piece of content about [Topic]. It might make a good replacement for the [Outdated Resource].

Either way, I hope this helps you and have a great day!
