Thread: Monitor your link partners

Link building is the core of a website promotion strategy. It is important that you monitor your link partners at regular intervals. If you have a link partnership in place make sure your link is on there and the page is continually getting cached.

When getting link partners you should be regularly checking the cache date making sure the cache date of the page or site is no more than a month old. If search engines doesn’t visit the site very often and your link will not be getting the value is should be receiving.
Then also check the sites they are linking to, If they are linking to a spam site the Search Engines tend to believe that they are a spam site as well which means you get little to no link value.

Having a backlink checker while building links is a great way to keep the counter under control. Here are very good backlink tools yahoo site explorer, link diagnosis, backlink analyzer, Linkscape etc.

Find contact info of potential link partners

When SEO first searches for potential link exchange partners, we will also find their emails, so we can immediately get in touch with them. Apart from a standard whois search, we search to make several “educated guesses” to reliably retrieve your partners’ emails.

also ,you shoud check if your link still there after a few month~~~

I don't mean that they will del your backlink, but some site change their design very ofen~
