I have been thinking about and researching a link strategy for both my marketing site at: brseminars.com as well as a few of my brokerage sites. All of our sies have fairly good traffic and 6 or above Google Pagerank.

My question is, do you guys use software to automate some of the tedious tasks or do you do everything by hand?

Thanks for your help and advice.

Hey Brian
look here some of these scripts are free

I do everything by hand - most link management progams are not much good because they either host the links off-site or use scripting that can't be followed. In addition, anecdotal evidence suggests search engines ignore linking programs utilizing link management programs.

If you just have a handful of sites to link together doing it by hand should not be a huge chore. You would not want more than a couple of links per site (i.e. do not crosslink every page in the sites) - you do not want to cross link too heavily or you will be penalized. Just link the main entry pages together for maximum benefit.

By hand is best, as stated above. Works for me!
