How to Find Linkerati

By: Zach Daniel

This is the first in a series of posts called finding the Linkerati. To put it simply, the Linkerati are those website owners who have the power to link to your website. The links that they control can push you up to greater visibility in the search results, or without them can leave you admiring your competitors from a distance. In this series I am going to cover the following topics: Motivations for Linking. Lateral Thinking. Search operators to find Linkeratti. How to use directories like DMOZ, & Yahoo Directory to build links (and no I don't mean being listed in them). How to use Social Media sites like Delicious and Digg to find the linkers. Studying the masters to find linking opportunities. Hope you enjoy!
