Doing Link Exchanges vs. Paying for Listings vs. Free.

I've realized that my competitors really have no good backlinks at all. How they are outranking me I am not sure. Perhaps it is their sites age.

I'd like to find some Health Related Directories to submit to. I have no reservatinos about throwing a few bucks or two to be included in high PR health sites. Can someone help me find some good links?

I've found a few, but they want reciprocal links. Are reciprocal links something I should certainly do ?

Thanks Guys..

 

Try adding site to free directories then maybe recip links if site is ranked high

 

What's your site and what are the terms you're trying to rank for?

 

Sorry Beeker I'd love to share but I dont want to share my niche on this site.

But its medical related.

I rank #2 for most of my main terms but I'd like to boost it up. If someone could find me some killer medical sites that I can easily get accepted to with a.) a recip link or b.) a payment, please send me them!

 

Do submission for free. But if you want to do reciprocal with dir sites, you can dedicate a page for that (If you're not going to place them at your resource page).

 

The number of backlinks doesn't guarantee higher rank.

I would focus on obtaining quality links over quantity.

Getting backlinks from bad sites would probably hurt your rank every more.

 

Obtaining quality related links helps you gain a higher rank...
