A confederation of various websites which operate like a web ring is known as a link exchange. A central organization runs the entire exchange and the various webmasters register themselves and their website with it. After registering, each one gets an exchange HTML code which is interested into the web pages to displays banners advertisements for other websites which are also members of the same link exchange. ‘LinkExchange’ was the name of the earliest link exchange and it now works under Microsoft Corporation.
Link exchange has a number of advantages as well as disadvantages. On one hand, they attract a greatly targeted readership and improve the ‘link popularity’ of websites with the search engines. On the flip side, they distract the customers away from the main website before it is explored completely to other websites.
Link building is one of the best solutions to increase the customer traffic on your website, to generate the interest of the customers and to make your website rank high in all search engines. It involves building high quality inbound links to one’s own website in order to make it popular with visitors as well as with search engines.
A number of free link building services exist which help websites in becoming a part of link exchanges and in this way, diverting much more traffic to their website from other sites. Also, there are some free link building softwares which not only help in building links but futher assist in staying competitive by comparing sites with websites of competitiors as well as in maintain exceptional track of one’s linking building campaign.
Link Exchanging is one of my main strategies while launching a new site, its crucial for a new site to get some links right after its launch to get some weight in the SERPs not just that but it also helps a heck lot to build up your pagerank, buying links could get pricey and no one likes to spend alot of money on new sites all that much these days so link exchanging is a good way to get some good links going on for your new site.
WAIT - Read the requirements for exchanging links
Now that you know just how important link exchanging is, you must know what exchanges you should take part in, here are my tips, its based on my personal experiences.
Never accept links from blogspot, blogger, livejournal or any subdomain based blogs.
Never accept links from people who want to give you links on a link page or a partner page
Never accept a link from a site thats not relevant to yours
Never accept a site that has alot of spam
Never accept a link from a site that doesn’t rank at no.1 on its own name.
Always look for relevancy, traffic and ofcourse PR.
TNXis a new link buying and selling system that came out a few months ago it was first intro’d at digitalpoint i think and since then it has boomed to a great height and right now its being used alot, the stats on their stats are really impressive, according to the stats there are 27 million pages of several Pageranks that you can buy links on.
Buying Links
Buying links is the hardest task for a webmaster these days with all the google penalties and all, if you are infact caught buying links your site can lose rankings that is why its better to buy links through either a professional link builder or link broking sites such as TNX, the reason TNX has got all the attention it has today is because of its comprehensive relevance system that gets you only the strongest links available in their page index!
They have an easy 3 step process to buy links which i will demonstrate here:
Step1:
Choose the type of sites you want links on (this is the feature i liked the most because of the relevancy)
Choose the geo targeting of the website’s traffic.
Choose the language
Choose the PR of the website, each pr has its own rates so this lets you choose your links in every way.
At the very end it will tell you how many sites you have to choose from and what it would cost you to advertise per month.
Step 2 Making links.
This step lets you add as many links to the rotation as you want to avoid dup content on the minor end, and it can be modified in every way as well, the keyword has the main focus and the text around it is what gives it the most value thats why its crucial that you do this step properly.
If you are ordering around 100 links/month then you will need to have at least 50 links in the rotation (per site) and it may seem like alot but its the most effective way to get the most out of TNX!
Step 3 Look through your options..
On step 3 you will be given a list of sites available (no url, just stats) to choose from for links, here you can order as many links per site as you want, the results on this page are made by the options you chose on step 1, all the pr diversity chosen is now on this page.
You can either get 1 really powerful pr7 link or SEVERAL pr0/1 links!
In this case i went with the PR0s
