How to get a link from a quality site

[edo]

What I'm about to say isn't rocket science, but it seems to me that with a bit of legwork you definitely can get a link from a respected website simply by mailing the editorial team of a magazine or newspaper and offering to write them an article in exchange for a free plug.

That's what I did last week for my best man speeches website and Maxim have already published an article here:

Sure, lots of other magazines I wrote to haven't replied and probably never will, but it's a numbers game and you only need a few quality links to make a big difference to your overall SEO profile.

Get to it!

Good work, thats exactly how to play this game. Your site genre is perfect subject material for a magazine like Maxim too.

Well done.

Nice one! I wouldn't have thought they'd accept outside submissions. Like you said some of them don't, but getting links like this as least shows that it can be worthwhile.

Just out of interest, how many magazines did you email?

Not as many as I thought: 4. Maxim, FHM, GQ and Nuts. My pitch was rubbish also. Probably should have written more than 2 lines!
