Has Anyone Heard of Cruz Command? | Building Backlinks For SEO
The Best Way to Get Backlinks
Guest posting is, and probably always will be, the best way to get backlinks to your site. Here are my favorite guest posting resources:

PostRunner makes it easy to find a blog to guest post on. Simply look through the sites, read the requirements, write a post tailored to suit the site, and submit the post right through PostRunner. The site owner has 7 days to accept or reject the post.

My Blog Guest allows you to place guest posts in two ways: You can add your articles to the article directory, in which case interested site owners can offer to publish your post and you choose the one you like best, or you can submit your guest posts directly to a blog that is plugged into the system. When direct posting, the site owner has 2 days to accept or reject your article.

I just received an unsolicited e-mail from a new link building service called Cruz Command. I’ll skip the rant about unsolicited e-mails and go straight to straight to their e-mail (I edited out the name of my site):

Cruz Command Letter

I have to admit, my first thought upon reading this letter was: “Are they the ones who have been reporting links to Google?” It’s no secret that something has been going on with some of the major link networks lately, but receiving a letter like this makes me wonder about a few things, like:

  • Do they really know that I use a link building service for the site listed, or are they just e-mailing random sites hoping to get lucky?
  • If they do know, then how? Did they join this network just to find out what sites the links show up on?
  • Where do they get off sending me unsolicited commercial e-mails about their service? OK, I held off as long as I could. This e-mail is undeniably commercial, and there’s no way they sent it only to me. They have compiled some sort of list and most likely e-mailed thousands of website owners about their new service. This gives me a very bad first impression.

I think I’ll avoid Cruz Command, at least for now. What are your thoughts?

    I received the same email last night. Spamming me is no way to earn my business.

  • Oliver from mini twitter:

    I wouldn’t pay attention to them, I am sure that they are sending this email to website owners from their list or they took the names on domain tools..
