First off all let's define what is a link exchange? A link exchange Internet
marketing campaign is the process of exchanging hyperlinks with a quality site
that is somehow related to a company's product or service.
It is easy to get link exchange partners when you have a website that is
getting alot of traffic and has a high page rank with Google. What proves to be
a little harder is getting a quality link partner to link with your site when
you have little or no page rank and little or no traffic.
I have found that giving incentives will help get the link exchanges flowing
and as your page rank increases so will links with websites that have a higher
page rank.
Here are 20 things you can do to get people to link to your website.
1. When you visit a web site you've enjoyed a lot, write a review for the site.
Write about the benefits you gain from the web site. Tell them they can publish
it on their web site if they link to your web site.
2. Market your web site as a free web book. Design your web site with a title
page, table of contents, chapters, etc. Just allow other people to give away
the web book by linking to your web site.
3. Offer other web sites free content to post on their web site. Include your
link on all of your content. The content should related to your web site
because it will be in front of your target audience.
4. Allow other people to publish your e-zine on their web site. Include your
web site's ad and link in each issue you publish. This may also help you
increase the number of people that subscribe to your e-zine.
5. Give your visitors an instant article directory. Tell your visitors they can
instantly add a free article directory to their web site by linking to yours.
Just place your ad or banner ad on top of the article directory for your main
web site.
6. Start a members only web site. Tell visitors what's in your members only
site and what it costs to gain access. Offer them a free membership if, in
exchange, they link to your web site.

could trade e-zine ads, print ads, autoresponder ads, classified ads, ebook
ads, etc.

visitors. Just have them link directly to the discussion board. Include your
web sites ad or banner ad at the top of the discussion board.

permission to publish it on their web site if they link to your site.
10. Offer your visitors a free sign up to your affiliate program. Pay them
commission to sell your products or services. Just give them an affiliate link
to track their sales. People will link to your web site to make extra money.
11. Give away web space to people for free. Since you are giving it away for
free, request they link to your site by placing your ad or banner to the site.
12. Create your own award site for other web sites. Give the winners a graphic
or text link to place on their web site when they win. This will link your web
site to theirs and draw more traffic to your web site.

of adding the directory to their web site by linking to it. Put your business

to your target audience. Allow them to give the e-book to their own web site

e-mail if, in exchange, they either link to your site. People will consider
this a huge value because consulting fees can be very expensive.

lists, etc. Both parties could include a resource box at the end of the
content.
