So I've been doing a ton of "cold emailing" for my website for the past several weeks with little to no results. See, about a year and a half ago, I started a site called Targets4Free. It hosts free printable shooting targets. We aim to be one of the top sites for free shooting targets, but results have been lackluster at best, if I can even say that. After about a year and a half of SEO, social media work, and so on, the numbers aren't so good.

I've noticed that one of Targets4Free's biggest shortcomings is a lack of backlinks from high-authority websites within the firearm category. This is no doubt keeping our rankings down and of course as a result, backlinks will continue to be few and far between with little to no exposure.

Truthfully, I'm looking for someone who has an already-established website to help me out, if even a little bit. Any help with a followed link on your site, anything that will help pass "link juice" and direct even a little traffic to us would be monumental.

The site is: http://targets4free.com

I actually posted it in THR's "Resources" section at the top menu, but again, those links are not followed and will only be limited to those going to that listing and then choosing to go directly to our site. That won't help rankings unfortunately...

I actually feel like kind of a jackass for being an "e-begging peasant", but with all the people I've contacted who either don't respond at all (most), or want hundreds of dollars for only banner ads but don't offer any kind of "External Links" section that we could be added to... Well, it's been rough. So yeah, I'm just a young dude trying to achieve a dream. Any help from veterans in the gun community would be amazing. Thanks again! :)
 
I’ve used your site too.
And thank you. It’s nice to be able to print free targets.

SEO is both a skill and a bit of a black art. I’ve worked on sites to get first page rankings on Google in several fields and it’s a constant struggle. So I feel for you.
 
A “free shooting targets” search puts you as a fish in a very crowded, big pond; it certainly doesn’t help that there are 8 x 10 to the elevendy billionth power other sites of this category - you are like a needle in a stack of needles. I applaud your guts and tenacity - very good luck.
