Links

We've spent the last week and a half or so emailing hundreds of web site administrators requesting they link to freshare. While we were extremely busy, productive emails have been hard to come by. We picked up about half a dozen or so links, some unfulfilled promises of links and a lot of unanswered emails.

It's not like we spammed or shotgunned our efforts. We hired an individual who is known in the industry as a links expert. The web administrators we chose were well thought out and were already linking to some of our competitors.

It's tough to keep focused on the task when there is so little success to celebrate. This week, we are going to try to fire up the publicity portion of our campaign. We think that generating a buzz will not only help promote the site, but we will also see an increase in the number of inbound links we receive.
