Honestly one of my new favorite link building posts, hands down. What does everyone think? Would love to hear people's thoughts on picking up the old, archaic telephone.

The post is very detailed.  :)

IDK... I myself can't stand the phone... or at least talking on one.  I mean I have a phone but really only use it for apps, text and email.  If someone called me to start building a relationship for a link I'd feel funny.  We get too many cold calls for other crap.

IMO Twitter would be better for me.

My theory is that SEOs are morphing into the new PR professionals and PR is all about relationship building. And the huge success I and other SEOs have seen using the phone kinda proves this point. 

The phone is more relational than email and, no matter how much we dislike phone convos, it just fucking works:)

Fantastic article! Works well for business that aren't inundated with phone calls and have too many "gatekeepers".
