I have planned to promote my site for the keyword, but since it is too competitive, i have planned to ask for link exchange. but i have seen somewhere that google don't like link exchange and google will penalize the sites which do link exchange, is it real ???????
yes you can but do it wisely. dont take link from a page made for only linkl exchange or don't get link under the heading of partner link etc etc
Link exchange is ok in fact if you read what google says about page rank the two suggestions it gives is to have good content and to exchange with relevant sites.
Yes you should go for link exchange. Whatever you told about google is not true in that sense, yes google would penalize you not for link building but for link building of that type which shows as you trying to get links only. Keep in mind, Do not exchange with Link Submission forms, Pages that are 3-4 clicking away for the home page of the site, Do not believe easily on that pasting you on the spot. Good for you check the title of the page 25 % chances on irrelevant with your site, do not take link. Only such short of skills now you may proceed.
Google won't penalize you but watch out for link farms. I also suggest you exchange links with websites related to yours.
Yup, it won't penalize you as long as there are not too many links and the site should have similar content than your site.
Link exchange is a good way to promote, but backlinks are even better! 1 way links work perfectly to build your websites reputation. Submitting to forums, blogs, articles etc with a link to your website gives you a 1 way link and also, in time, boosts your search engine result for that keyword! Very easy, but very time consuming lol. Good luck.
Link exchanging is a very time consuming and tedious endevour, for every 1000 requests you will be lucky if you get 1 single exchange Besides that fact the link exchanging if hard work, it is also frowned upon by Google and the don't give any benifit for the link, in actual fact a recipricol link basically cancells each other out I would focus on getting quality "one way" backlinks for maximum benifit Hope this helps, Vstar
I agree to a point, but if the site you are linking to has more PR quality than your website, you will benefit. But it is a lot better to get the one way backlinks as you said.
yes, but it should be only a part of your linkbuilding effort. Combine it with other link building methods
I totally agree, time management is very important. It's about link building, promoting, UPDATING and general maintenance.
Google will not penalize you for quality link exchanges, but if you choose to link to sites not related to you, link to too many sites you may have a problem. Just be picky on who you exchange with.
I guess I can't argue that, However, why would a high PR site want to exchange links with a low PR site? As I mention in my previous reply... It is a very time consuming and tedious task to exchange links Can you imagine how time consuming and tedious it would be to exchange links with a higher PR site than your own... you'd likely have better luck winning the Lottery I've been in this game a long time and as far as I'm concerned, quality One-Way Links are the most benificial, Period! Have a Prosperous Day! Vstar
If you have 2 blogs or trade with someone who does, you can do a link exchange in a 3 way fashion that results in 1 way links for both parties.
Link exchange with the relevant sites will give more benefits. Concentrate on other link building factors equally to get good results.
Link exchange should be fine with Google, anime sites depend on link exchanges for SEO half the time. I've never run into a problem with Google
If the niche is that competitive, you need to think of how long it will take you to SEO your way to the top, probably forever and you still won't catch the other competitors that have a few years head start on you. PPC is the best way to drive traffic in this situation, every other method is probably exhausted, and repetitive. Also depending on the niche, many people won't exchange links. I have diet pill sites, but I won't link exchange with them. makes no sense to exchange links with a competitor, and my other sites are not in that niche, so no again. JMO
hello u can do link exchange but only relevant site and high PR and if u start link building on u site then u need that u link add only 1 to 2 should be below..
Yes, you can go with link exchange. But always go with relevant site. don't link with link farms and banned site....
