Getting Reciprical Links

Link Acquisition Techniques

There are several methods to get links to your site and thus increase your position in the search engines. The main thing you need to do is set up a links page that adds value to your visitor. Putting all your links on one long page does no one any good and will chase away the majority of the best link partners.

The first thing you need to do is set up a links page that is easily accessable on your site. Make sure you blend the page into the general theme of your site.

Including an “Add Site” feature on your links page is very important. You need to make it as easy as possible for people to link back to you. Also, since Google rarely spiders past the 25th link each of your links pages should include no more than 25 links. I like to include no more than 15 links per page. Split each category as many times as needed to keep your links per page count down.

Reciprical Links

Getting people to trade links with you can be the most frustrating and time consuming process in the management of your web site. Fortunately, we gave up on managing my links page manually long ago. After the an initial set up, my “Link Exchange” page pretty much manages itself.

If you want to spend more time working on your web site content than tracking down broken links and broken promises of recipricle links you need to get LinksMetro. It automates the adding of links, deleted of dead links and emliminates the free loaders who never link back to you as promised. And the best part is you can get a month free for every one of your link partners who join LinkMetro after see how nicely it works on your site.

LinksManager will create a page that FTPs to your a page on your domain whenever there are changes to your link partner directory. I would suggest you keep the links on your domain rather than LinksManagers domain. You have a much easier time getting people to link to you if your reciprical link in on your domain.
