Hello All, Thank you very much in advance...i want to start link exchange programme to give more popularity to my site..i have a confusion that where to put "Link with us" or some other link..i saw many sites they do link campaign but on their website it is not visible that where they have put this link. Regards,
there is a special section of this forum for you to place this post. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=53
I have seen that many sites put a link in the footer and call it as useful resources or link partners or useful sites, you can also do in similar fashion as most link partners ask for the link page to be within max 2 clicks from the home page.
I would personally avoid link exchange as a way of link building unless: 1. The sites were closely related in topic 2. It make perfect sense to do so, i.e if you had an article published about your site on someone else's site, it would make sense to link to the article. FFA link exchanges won't really help you much in Google. I'd focus more on getting listed in some quality directories and find other sites to write some guest articles on with links pointing back to your site.
if you do link exchange, do it responsibly. dont just solely depend on link exchanges as your link building method and utilize other methods of lin kbuilding as well. google is good on detecting reciprocal links and they will devalue such links if done too much. source: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66736 i'm not saying link exchanges dont work at all, they just dont work the way they have been.
Dev12311, Putting reciprocal links to web pages with useful content is the best solution. Reciprocal linking with related web pages is the best, and these outbound links, letting google to easily determine the theme of reciprocal web pages.
