Is It Bad To Have To Many Links To Other Sites On My Site?

I have done quite a lot of link exchanges here on DP. Is it bad to have too many links on my site?

 

Hi Behnam1123,

Well I think it sepends how it is done. If link exchange is targeted (I mean, the links concern other website on the same subject), I think it is OK.

- Don't put too many links on the same webpage
- Always provide content around those links...

Need confirmation from an expert, but this is what I think. Any expert here...? I am also interested as I run a niche directory containing a lot of links... (but not link exchange)

Anto

 

Thanks Anto. I think you may be right.

 

You're welcome, don't hesitate to ask I'm not an expert but if it can help ;-)

 

Try not to put all the links on the same page. The best way is to give your partners contentlinks. It´s better for both parts.

 

Great point. I'm starting to have too many links on my "Partners" page. I better start integrating links into my content.

 

you should have twice incoming links from outgoing links......spread them on different pages..

 

i think its better if we have a relation between each incoming and outgoing links

 

Yes, could be a bad idea.
Never ad more than 4 or 5 external links in a webpage unless you are providing (as the main content of the page) a list of something with their related urls.

If you list many and all are reciprocal, Google can penalize your site easily.

Reciprocal links can be suicide, its a very naive move that shows you are trying to manipulate SEO. Otherwise use nofollow or avoid reciprocals.

 

Alright, you seem to know what you're talking about. Thanks

 

I agree that this is not a very good idea to have too many links, however if you are exchanging links with relevant websites with decent pr then its ok.

 

you need to maintain normal speed of permanent Link Building.
