Reciprocal Link Exchange-Systematic Approach Produces Results and
Success. by Kanaga Siva
There is not the slightest doubt that Reciprocal Links have a major role to
play in increasing your link popularity, securing a high page rank and bringing
in traffic. Though Search Engines consider one way links superior to reciprocal
links, the fact remains that we do need them. The biggest problem faced by new
webmasters is that their request for reciprocal link exchange is often turned
down by webmasters with high page rank websites because the new site often is
PR0. This often causes disillusionment and disappointment in the ranks of new
webmasters who had spent many hours researching the internet and identifying
the related high PR websites. By following these steps systematically you will
soon be on your way to achieving your objective and be happy enjoying your
work.
Step1. Complete Construction of Website:
First and foremost your website should be complete. Your website should have
excellent content and be related to the theme of your website. The site should
be optimized for your chosen keyword or keywords. Remember content is king.
Search Engines love them, so too will your website visitors.
Step2. Submit to Search Engines:
Submit your website to Google, Yahoo, MSN, AltaVista and to all the leading
Search Engines. Do not submit "under construction" websites as they will never
be indexed and could further delay future indexing.
Step3. Submit to Directories:
Submit your website to Directories such as Open Directory, Yahoo, JoeAnt and to
other leading directories. There are three types of directories. (a) Those that
accept free listing without reciprocal linking. (b) Those that accept free
listing but require reciprocal linking. (c) Those that have only paid listing.
Some do have a combination of all these Since submitting to the paid
directories could be too costly to the newbie, the best option would be to
start submitting to the free submission directories that have a high PR. This
will make your site visible in the internet world, increase its overall
importance and bring you several one way links and reciprocal links.
Step4. Writing and submitting Articles to Article Directories:
While you are in the process of submitting your site to the directories you
should commence writing articles on the theme of your website or related themes
and submit them to article banks, article directories, and article distributors
and to related high PR websites that accept articles. Your articles should be
of good quality, helpful to the audience and display to the internet world your
knowledge and expertise. If you don't have the ability to write articles the
other option is to obtain the services of a ghost writer to write a few
articles for you.
The purpose of writing these articles is to obtain one way links and also
traffic to your website. Hence it is important that you have a resource box at
the end of your articles with your website link embedded in them. Article
writing is one of the best ways of obtaining one way links and you are bound to
get dozens in quick time. The more number of relevant one way links you obtain,
the greater will be your chances of improving your link popularity and climbing
up the Page Rank ladder. If in the meantime you get requests for Reciprocal
Link exchange from good relevant sites you may accept them.
Step5. Posting at Forums and Writing Testimonials:
Post your expert comments and advice at related discussion forums with your
signature file and URL Write testimonials about the products that you have used
and request the webmaster or vendor publishing your testimonials to display
your site URL when he publishes the testimonials. These can all bring you one
way links to boost up your link popularity.
Step6. Request for Reciprocal Links:
The above systematic approach will propel your website to PR2, PR3 or even PR4.
You are now beginning to be recognized by the search engines, and also by other
webmasters who have read your articles and forum posts. The time is now ripe
for you to request for reciprocal links seriously not only from sites of equal
page rank but also from PR5 a PR6 websites as well.
Your reciprocal link exchange requests are now not going to fall on deaf ears
and will receive serious consideration because: (a) You have a reasonable page
rank. (b)You are beginning to be recognized as an expert in your field. (c)
Your website is being identified as one that has good content and potential of
achieving higher page rank.
Wise and experienced webmasters can identify such websites and will find it
hard to reject your reciprocal link exchange request. In fact you will find
quite a few webmasters who would like to be associated with you by either
publishing your articles or accepting your reciprocal link request.
Conclusion:
The rejection, the consequent pain of mind and disappointment unfortunately
kills the enthusiasm of some of the newbies. Though it might appear difficult
initially but writing articles and posting in forums are much easier than
obtaining a reciprocal link from high Page Rank webmasters. By following the
above method systematically, Link Exchange becomes a more enjoyable and
rewarding experience, bringing in its wake heaps of Reciprocal Links, One way
links, high Page Rank, increased Link Popularity and Targeted Traffic. What
