Greetings
Web Customers
=
I
thought I would share a little info about trading =
links.
=
Many
of your sites have a whole page dedicated to external links (which take =
users
to pages on a different site, as opposed to internal links which take =
them to
pages within the same site). This helps confine links to a single page, =
instead
of peppering the site with links that will prompt visitors to =
leave. Links
pages are fairly simple to create, as very little is needed except =
for the
links themselves. The less attention you draw to the links page, the =
better.
After all, the whole goal of a site is to keep traffic there, not to =
drive it
away. When using link trading
as a means of advertising your site, it’s a good idea to have a =
links
page. This way, you can be sure to uphold all your trading agreements =
and still
keep the arrangement of your own site intact.
=
Link
trading is easy. Sites that you enter into link trading agreements with =
are
going to want confirmation. Once you’ve placed their link on your =
site,
you’ll usually be obliged to provide them with the link to the =
page where
their information
appears. They should do the same for you, giving you the chance to =
verify with
your own eyes that your link has indeed been placed within their pages. =
=
Reputation
is always important. Make sure to follow all the terms of the agreement,
including any necessary follow-ups for link verification. Confirm for =
yourself
that your link is working properly and that it takes traffic to the page =
you
want them to see. After the links are placed and confirmations are made,
there’s absolutely nothing else to do. The entire process can take =
as little
as five minutes to complete, which is part of the reason link trading is =
so
attractive.
=
Also,
make sure your link partners have something to do with the content of =
your
site. Incoming links are important to search engines and will help
increase your ranking on a results page but don’t trade links for =
the
sole purpose of adding another link to your links page. It should =
be a
link of value to your visitors.
=
If
you have a links page, lets add some people to it. If you =
don’t
have a links page, let’s build one.
