It doesn't matter if it is a competitor. By linking out when you are citing facts or sources, it will build trust with your audience. You can't just write a blog post with claims and not cite your sources. This will damage your reputation. Once I link out to people ask them to share my content on the social web. In essence, I am emailing every person I link out to. Within that email, I ask them to share my post on their favorite social network. This works well because people don't mind promoting you when you are promoting them via a link. Here is the email template I use: Hey [website owner], I love your work, so much so that I even linked out to you in my latest blog post. [insert link to your blog post] Feel free to check it out. Cheers, [Your name] PS: If you shared this post it wouldn't just make my day, it would make my year.
