As SEOs, link builders, copywriters, etc., we'll never have as much insight into an industry as the people who work in those industries every day. If we even tried to we wouldn't have time to be experts in our own fields. I'm sure the client would have been happy to give you feedback on the piece before you submitted it. BTW, great Scoble - Barone reference :o) Great article!

I think many link builders are using this strategy now. The lesson I learned was not to ask for link in first few emails. Request for the link only after 4-5 emails Man I got rejected three times last week for the Same kind of reasons. I think many link builders are using this strategy now.

It's so easy to get wrapped up in "being the expert" that we forget to ask for our client's advice when we need it most. It's also a great idea to try to find that other "quirk" which connects you with the person you're talking to. Like you said a favorite color or a common passion or experience, it's those shared affinities that build rapport in life and business. .-= Jen recently posted: <a href="http://searchslingshot.com/2010/01/seo-magi/" rel="nofollow">The Best SEO isn’t Magic, It’s a Commitment.</a> =-.
