Reciprocal links

[ewelina]

Hi everyone,

My name is Ewelina and I work for the online marketing agency as the webmaster. I need your help guys on reciprocal links as my way of getting them seems to be ineffective. I always look for the relevant websites typing in the keywords to the search engines and then I send a link exchange request to each. It takes a lot of time and I get the positive responds very rarely...very often not responds at all.
What is your way of getting them? If anyone has any ideas please let me know...
And how about forum participation as a way of getting one way links? I heard that some people can get 6 or 7 forum posts with links very easily while I'm struggling to get 3.

Please help

Thanks a lot
Ewelina

I heard that some people can get 6 or 7 forum posts with links very easily while I'm struggling to get 3.

?

What ?

Don't get that bit ? Please explain..

Do you mean you can spam forums and some people get 6/7 links ?

From the buzz I have been hearing, exchanging links has been rather counterproductive lately. If I understand correctly, Google places more emphasis on one way linking than reciprocal links because one ways are deemed more important and valuable.

Don't go buying any one way links though, Google is employing all your evangelistic vigilante competitors to report you and get you in trouble.

Best way for the one way links are getting good useful content with blogs, web 2.0'ing and articles....so get someones ass in gear to start writing!

Articles is a great option.. Spamming forums is a rubbish Idea, Most of the forums are using nofollows these days, even if you try to spam, the link will not be counted..Submit Articles, Submit to directories, Signup with some programs like linkmetro,market,diary etc..

Write up some link baits, search some .edu blogs that are not using nofollows (Yes the old blogs are still available) choose your theme, look at the previous postings, study about the topic thoroughly, write something meaningful that should add some value tot he post, and try an have a link from that post. If you post is genuine, worth reading, and informative, like will stay forever..

wouldn't signing up with linkmetro and places like that be counted as a link farm? Or is that just for particular sites that have links running rampant all across their pages ad no content?

[lovekills_s]

Not a link farm, Rather its worth some links (although, you have to check out for quality mannualy) or you can choose some nice one-way bargains using the PM feature..

Well Link Farm is usually misinterpretted these days, I would recommend studying this:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_farm

The first 5 lines seems to define almost everything..

Have a nice day..

Thanks for your replies...I'm aware of the fact that "content is the king"...but does anyone know and can recommend any good examples of link baits...for example in the travel industry?

Do some one way link instead of reciprocal link.

Try Wikipedia's technique on link baiting. There's a unique content on every pages and several hyperlinks on a not so familiar words.
