Still today Google favors Link Exchange?

Still today Google favors Link Exchange? I newly started SEO for my new website so i wanted to rank it early. plz tell if anyone have experience regarding this.

 

Are you asking if Google still favors link exchanges? I don't think Google "favors" it anymore, unless the site you are linking to is related to your website's niche. Google is more likely to rank you higher with having natural backlinks from sites related to your niche.

My two cents. Have a good day!

 

I think the correct way to phrase it would be - Link Exchanges may still work in Google, but Google does not favor Link Exchanges.

 

google not only NOT favors link exchange, they will penalize your site if you do too much link exchange.

"some webmasters engage in link exchange schemes and build partner pages exclusively for the sake of cross-linking, disregarding the quality of the links, the sources, and the long-term impact it will have on their sites. This is in violation of Google's Webmaster Guidelines and can negatively impact your site's ranking in search results"

I agree with you.

If done properly link exchanges can still work. Make sure that that you exchange links with only the sites that are related to your niche and also offer high quality content. Don't do too many exchanges limit the exchanges to 20 or less. Just the most important thing to keep in mind is that the sites should be related and should of good quality.

 

Google favours only relevant and quality links.It doesn’t matter what type of links you are getting but links from high quality websites will help you to rank better and be more visible in the eyes of search engines.

 

No google is not giving favor to to link exchange . Google thinks it as link farm

 

Link Exchange is so 2004

One way link is the way to go ...there are plenty of ways/methods to get such links ...

 

Not anymore if you are trying to link to a site that is not related to yours. You should link to website under your same niche.

 

Ok if i exchange links with quality and relevant websites then Google will not penalize. does this your mean?

 

Google gives value only back links until these links are through link exchange or directory, bookmarking, articles.

 

Google favor only the quality inbound links from the OnFocus website. No reciprocal links.

 

yeah,try it and shared your experiences here

 

I think google gives the value of backlinks.
Thanks

 

No Google is not going to penalize you as long as you exchange links with quality and related sites and keep the exchanges to a fixed number only, as I mentioned earlier.

 

Google never favored link exchange. Google only suggested to get credit for your work (that's what is called ethic backlink strategy). You can try link exchange but with credits but not buying or two way link exchange.

 

Ok, you mean paid links also still.

 

Yes Still Link exchange is the best method for make yourwebsites more and string backlinks.

 

Well Google does not support buying links with a sole purpose of transferring the the link juice (for ranking high) and advises to build the links naturally, but still a lot of sites buy links. Its totally upon you if you want to buy links or not. But if you are looking forward to buy a link here are some instructions -

1. Make sure you don't buy links from big sites which advertise about link selling and buying.

2. Buy links only from related sites.

3. If possible try to buy links on independent sites which don't sell too many links.

4. Go slow if you are buying. Don't just buy hundreds of links in a week or so. Give it some time. Like a couple of months depending on how much you are buying.

 

No, Google doesn't favor link exchange...
