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!

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!
