Planning Ahead for Link Building

"Before I start a site I will have a look at the whole neighbourhood around that subject. Sooner or later I will stumble across 'nests' of quality sites adjacent to my proposed space. Quality means in this sense that they may be quality in the way that they link out, or the way that they are linked to by an authority site, or in some other way.

Before I even start on the site, I will consider how to integrate a honeypot for those particular sites that might encourage them to link to me. Once my site is active, I will try to make them aware of that section." stever
