Ecommerce Link Building – Shopping Centre Websites
Very quick post today on link building, this one is for ecommerce websites who have offline shops as well.
I’ve noticed that some shopping centres throughout the UK have their own websites, they often list the shops inside the shopping centre with details of opening times, location etc. Some of them also provide a link to the official shop website too.
I’ve found an example using the website for the Bullring Shopping Centre in Birmingham, Ann Summers. Honestly it was the first one I came to that had got a link to their website! Well, maybe not the first but the first that caught my eye 
So if you have a client with offline stores, draw up a list of all of their stores across the UK and see if any of them are within a shopping centre. If they are, you know what to do!

Good tip Paddy, and to add to that, many towns and villages have their own websites. Some charge money, some are free, but a good source of links from local-related websites.

It’s so simple, but yet how many people out there haven’t thought about doing that.

Great idea. The other thing many businesses forget is that they have customers and suppliers, who also have websites.

Great tip! Also, Chambers of Commerce or business associations also have websites that can link to your clients website.
I was wondering why you are making any more new posts. I hadn’t had an alert in a while so I hope everything is ok
