Link Exchange - We HIGHLY recommend this easy to use link exchange tool.

We all know how difficult getting links to your website can be. But many do not know that there are unwritten rules to be followed. Actually some of the link exchange rules are written. These rules make it easier for everyone concerned. One of the first things I would say on exchanging links is that you should have decent website. So many of the link requests that come in are from spammers who have build a rubbish site using automated software that gathers articles from other sites and pastes them into their site. There is no human input. These sites are built just to get google clicks. Nobody wants to exchange links with them.

Another major link exchange factor is relevance. The link exchange must be between sites on related topics or even the same topic in order to maximise the benefit from the links.

It helps if you can demonstrate that you have actually seen the website you are asking to exchange with. Too often the work is done by bots and a human has not even seen the site. Nobody likes that requests. Using the contact form on the site to make the link exchange request works well.

Don't beat around the bush in your email. Ask for the link and offer one in exchange giving your link information and asking for theirs. Do not send one of those emails telling the webmaster how much work they must have done to build such a great site. We all know that the same thing was said in every email you sent out.

Your chances of success are greatly increased if you add the other person's link first. You can guess the link information if it is not already displayed on their website. They can send you the correct information if they agree to the link exchange.

Make sure your URLs work. There is nothing worse than clicking on a link to an URL that gives you a 404 Not Found result.

Having a website that looks good is important. Professionalism will increase your chances of someone wanting to link with you. If you have a website that looks like a 3 year old child designed it then do not expect many links.

If you want to link to websites high up in search engines then be prepared to give a little bit extra away. They need you less than you need them. They are already up where you want to be.

If you do not own the site then do not claim to do so. Getting several mails from several different people claiming that they own the site and you should link now will just let potential link partners know you are dishonest.

Make a note of the sites you have visited and the ones you have successfully linked to so not to send the same mail to the same webmasters again. This does get a little annoying. Make a note of the company that owns the site, this is usually at the foot of the page. Then when you visit another site with the same company you know that you have dealt with them.
