Reciprocal link proposition templates
by: David Callan

I guess you can't really call this an article, maybe a resource article though. I've decided to include it in the reciprocal links section anyway. Below there are six templates and a couple of subject lines too which you can use when emailing other webmasters proposing a link exchange with him or her.

These have been used by various people on the web, I myself have used most of them with this site and my www.irishboxingnews.com site and many other I've been involved with in the past. Most of them tend to return a 20%-30% success rate, which is pretty good.

Here are a couple of general subject lines which you can use.

I saw your site!
Link exchange!
Reciprocal link exchange!
I just visited your [Recipient's URL] website - well done!
