TO AUTOMATE OR NOT TO?

For those of you who are trying to figure out if
you should use an automated link promoter or just
simply doing everything yourself:

Linking softwares are great (not really) I've
tried 2 programs myself, and I must say that
both attempts were a disaster! Now i'm not saying
that eventually that there will be a perfect
software out there to promote your link exchange
program.

Right now, here are some of the problems

- The links that you will find are not relavant
to your site's content.

- Some links tend to be "Link Farms" that only
harm your search engine performance.

- You'll tend to get millions of porn sites!

and so on...
---------------------------------------------------

Here's a method that holds very strong when I look
for link partners:

---------------------------------------------------

When I find a great resource that has similar
content to my site, I will browse through their
ENTIRE "Resourceful Links" listed on their site
and see if It's a good idea to link to them!

---------------------------------------------------

Here's another method of doing this effectively
for best results:

---------------------------------------------------

If you happen to find a great resource, enter their
entire "URL" in www.google.com.

What you need to look for is this:
"Find web pages that link to www.this-site.com"

The Purpose Martin?

Once you click on the "pages that link to that site"
you will find sites that already have a great link
program related to your site!

Take advantage of linking to all the sites listed
within that search on google!

----------------------------------------------------

PLEASE TRY TO AUTOMATE YOUR LINK EXCHANGE PROGRAM!

It get's very fustrating for an entrepreneur like
me who is trying to have a really good source of
link exchanges, especially when I have to e-mail
my companies information manually!

Try adding a "Mail Script" that takes the link
exchange information right from your site! You'll
find that more sites will want to link to yours!

Here's an example of what your form should ask:

Another little "Timbit",

Give visitors your link information!

Please add your "Link Information" that you would
want visitors to add on their site! I've gone to
too many sites were I had to spend over 5 minutes
trying to find their "Link Exchange" information!

Now i'm not talking about a link on your site to
your link program, i'm talking about the information
you would give to other sites in order to exchange
links!

Denying link exchanges!

Get ready, it happens to all of us! Don't get upset
when a company you just linked to has just denied your
link exchange! Many companies out there has STRICT
guidelines they are looking for. You may have not
read their specific rules they have! Don't worry about
it, take a note and move on.

There's another 1,000 000 that will link to you so
don't go have a drink from one denial! I know we all
hate them but just remember, we've all got them!

In the future, when you're put in a situation were you
will be the one denying another site for a link
exchange, just remember how you felt at the time and
be considerate to the other by telling them WHY they
were denied. I often replied to the site that denied my
site to ask why my site wasn't accepted and often I am
surprised to hear the reason.
what they had to say!

I hope this article has opened your
mind about Link Exchanges!
