Thanks so much for sharing @dohertyjf ! We built this tool over a year ago and have been testing it on our own sites. Sites running Linkbuildr have seen an average increase in shares and mentions of almost 30% over sites without it. It's the tool I always wanted; so we built it :)

Nick is a long time friend in the SEO industry and has built an incredible agency and set of tools over the years to enable SEO success. Linkbuildr is something I have wanted to exist for years.

@dohertyjf Thanks again for the support John!

Fantastic tool! Good job Nick!
Steven van Vessum
That looks neat! Can you share what else is on the roadmap, any integrations planned with for instance Zest.is and other platforms?

@stevenvvessum Thanks Steven! We already have a version ready that integrates with Hunter.io and Amazon SES to significantly speed up finding contact emails and improve email deliverability. Then we'll be adding a module that automatically recommends internal links (including anchor text) based on topical term overlap between posts (since the tech is already parsing all the content in the posts anyway :P )

Great stuff, @nick_eubanks ! Thanks for sharing this with the community. I think the subject line "Gave you a shoutout" will quickly find it's way to many custom "Skip the inbox" filters in Gmail 😅

@yuriburchenya definitely, it’s just a default template so users can activate the plugin and immediately use it. The intention is for people to create their own templates that better fit their audiences.

Great job Nick! Time saver!
Fraser McCulloch
well done Nick; can you use the tool with published posts by changing status to draft ?

@fraser_mcculloch Hey Fraser - Originally this wasn't intended but while testing for the demo last week I realized this is a MUST HAVE, so we're adding it now and it will be released in an update later this week!

So glad that this is GDPR compliant. I’ve been getting subscribers asking about it and now I don’t have to worry using this plug-in.

@kensavage This was really important for us to add (along with the support for Gutenberg) but makes all the difference in the world.
Zach Weber
Such a great tool. For someone who isn't in Wordpress day in and day out, it makes promoting and posting content SO much easier. - cheers

I signed up for product hunt just to upvote this because anything Nick & his team builds is worth getting.
Laura
This is crazy time-saver! Can you manually update the mailing list?

@laura_pompeu thanks Laura! There’s a master contact database view that you can use to add/edit/delete contacts. We’re going to spin up a Google Sheet integration to make it faster to export all domains from your post database AND we already have a version built that has an integration with Hunter.io. Roadmap includes adding an integration for Mailchimp as well.

Hello, there is no explanation how it works.

@damian_chlanda Hey Damian - I walked through it in the video. I also write a detailed post about the process here: https://FTF.agency/automated-con...
Steven Jacobs
This is a great idea. Does it use the website's SMTP servers to send out the emails?
nick eubanks
Maker
@stevenjacobs_ Hey Steven - yes, this version uses the same mail servers that any messages sent from the wordpress install uses. We are releasing a version that will have an integration option with Amazon SES in the next week or so.

@nick_eubanks Sorry for the double comment. I totally ignored the ability to show more comments and thought my first one didn't go through.
