Quantity over quality is not my linking strategy. I will provide good resources here for my visitors to followup on. This implies that my vistors may click off to you as my link partners because I feel your site is worth a visit. A link from me is a recommendation, a vote, I'm vouching for your content
So it's important for me to get quality link partners first and formost. I'm not trying to build a link exchange full of hundreds of junk sites.
90% Adsense Publishers are who I mean That's right 9 out of 10 Adsense sites webmasters submit to me are poor quality sites and will get de-indexed faster than they get indexed.
Some of these sites are so bad I can't believe people expect a link back. Leave the garbage on someone elses doorstep, Please.
There are plenty of websites that have the quantity over quality strategy and will exchange links with anyone. This site is not one of them.
Your site must be a Quality website and "Topically Relevant" to mine. For an example of what I consider a relevant topic related to my site simply look at my directory.
As long as your site fits this description, it will be approved. Even if it is Adsense.
#2 Real Contact Info I see this everyday! I get fake contact info in the submissions. You are asking for my time to put your link on my website (for free) and telling me a LIE about who you are? I want good quality link partners. Don't we all? So feel free to go elsewhere if your a liar.
#3 All Submission will sent and email verification! You must respond back through the email that will be sent to the email address you use during the link submission process.
#4 Reciprocal Link Page Quality You must put my link on a page with less than 50 links. Reciprocal link pages with more than 50 links on them are not quality link partners nor are you doing your link partners any good with pages with more than 50 links.
#5 You must have a Google PR 1 or better. If you have a PR 0 chances are very good that I will not approve you, UNLESS you have a quality website and just need some help to get going.
#6There must be a link on your main page to the link partners directory A link page that is not linked from the front page is worthless. The reason for this is, when the search engine spiders come to the main page they have to be able to find the link partners page. Thus defeating the whole purpose of exchanging links.
#7 Link Quality! I can't stress this enough so here's more insight into why.
Pages that link to each other should have similar content. The search engines rank your site on the amount of Quality Links you have incoming and out going. Google for example is likely to give your site a better reputation if your links are relavant. Links to or from unrelated sites is likely to be viewed as suspicious by the search engines.
The best links are from web pages that contain content related to your site. Links to or from off topic pages are not useful and too many of these off-topic links will be harmful to your search engine ranking. As the search engines become more sophisticated links from important relavant sites within your niche will grow in value.
Lets do it right the first time around and we won't get hit in the next big purge when Google removes yet another round of junk websites from it's index.
#8 BE patient! You are just one of almost a hundred link requests a day and that is a lot of time dealing with people that just want that free link. In my case at this very moment I have almost 400 link requests across my network of websites so it will normally take a month to get to the new stuff. If you can't wait that long for a link back, your in the wrong business but that's no skin off my butt.
Well that covers the important stuff. Submit your links let's have fun and make some money!
