hello mates, I am new to the world of link exchange so if you guys can tell me does this help in Page rank? I mean if I have a web design Blog PR 3 or so... if I exchange links will related sites wont my site PR go down if I have too many outgoing links? How does this work out.. Thanks in advance for replying Ash
no it won't go down, and yes it can help but not as some years ago. Better to get some one way links from different related niche spots
technically yes, but on the other hand, if your site doesn't look 'natural', PR wont do you any good anyway.
So if I have a PR 2 site and I exchange links from Blogroll and they give me link from their blogroll, it wont lose its PR ? So why do they say 20 Outgoing links only?
dont focus on PR as it is not directly related to traffic or ranking. what u need is to get ranked high in search results that will bring you the needed traffic. in terms of ranking, link exchange doesn't help much anymore the way it used to before. however, if you find a quality site in your niche and can exchange links with them, you should do that as relevant quality site backlinks will help you a lot. but i would not suggest you to drive a link exchange campaign which would mostly be a waste of time
Actually those who say pr is not directly related to ranking is still living in a black world. The central nervous system of the system of ranking in google is pagerank, but, it doesn't mean that low pr site will not rank up higher than a high pr one for the same keywords. On topic, link exchanges can do you good when and if done wisely. The trick and charm to a succesful link exchange is the secret of 'keeping balance' in both inbounds n outbounds.
By building some relevant quality backlinks on quality sites in your niche, you'll reach a Page Rank of 3-4 at the next update. And when Google updates the page ranks, you might be updated to a higher page rank, depending on how much work you do. Try to build some high PR backlinks.
This really is an interesting aspect of the internet marketing and link building world, but from my experiance there is nothing better than a relevant link exchange no matter what the PR if they are in your niche exchange.
