Avoid 1 way Link Exchange

    Sounds kind of odd but I have a really hard time with my link exchange. I add the contents of another site that states that they will exchange with me. I am honestly having a hard time tracking who is backlinking to me. Any solutions? Really irritated...I want genuine link exchangers not "link exchangers". Any who has a quality health site PM me..:cool:

    Yeah, you've always got to watch out for that kind of thing. If you don't stay on top of it, they could just take your link off, while you keep theirs on your site.

    Some people are just dishonest like that. Personally, I never liked "link exchanging". I want to keep people on my site and help them, not tell them to go elsewhere. Just my opinion.

    Keep a Notepad list of all the people who are supposed to have a reciprocal link up for you. Once a month or so, copy & paste the list into this tool:

    www dot webconfs dot com/reciprocal-link-checker.php

    Sorry, they won't let me post a full URL yet I guess.

    I started using www.textlinkhq.com a few weeks ago to keep tabs on my link exchanges, and I love it.

    you just have to do it the hard way to make sure you are getting results. you can use software out there, but there are still loop holes.

    in my opinion, link exchange has become an old way to build backlinks. the newest way is link baiting

    Link baiting works.

    Last night I published an article on investing in Costa Rica real estate. Less than 12 hours later I found a portion of the article quoted on a Danish real estate site, complete with link backs, that was advertising Costa Rica real estate investments.

    Why don't you just participate in free link exchange programs available all around?
    Anyway, when people ask me to link exchange with them, i do put their link on my site, but never checks if mine is on theirs. I think it's a complete lose of time and energy.
