Link Exchange Tips:
(SEO Discovery Updates)
Be a professional when sending solicited link exchange requests. Make sure that, most of the time, you are sending the location of the other webmaster's backlink to help avoid being seen as SPAM. A happy email reader will not complain. The way I do link exchanges:
1. Find a high quality relevant website. [see ThySEO Checklist Technique #3.2]
A. Add exchange details at the other site's online form.
B. Solicit link exchange via email. When the site has no link exchange info, be sure to add their link first, then send email.
2. Log in and do the work at third party sites (linkmarket, linkalizer and linkmetro). The Google Toolbar PageRank is useful for determining high quality sites at third parties. If you have never used Google Toolbar, it's really a cool tool and can be turned off and on from the View > Toolbars menu.
Include in your Link Exchange Emails (see below) a request for a 3-way link exchange with home pages. This is the most effective way of exchanging links because all home pages are high quality. Upon visiting popular sites, you'll find some good sites have between 30 to 70 outbound links on thier home page. This proves that a site can do well at the engines and carry a large amount of outbound links at the home page. Too risky? Maybe the other webmaster seems untrustworthy? This is allright, just check these links every 3 to 4 months and delete those links at your home that have ended the agreement. This type of updating is part of the webmaster's work and should be smiled upon.
