‘How to follow up on link requests’ – Search Engine Land
Julie Joyce says, “I’m sure that your email inbox is full of unsolicited mail, much of it spammy follow-ups. Mine sure is!
I recently had the chance to test those pesky follow-up skills when my response rate on a recent campaign was zero percent. Since we do our targeting and research upfront, we usually get at least a few responses to any outreach we do, but nope! Not this time.
