How to get links
I am skeptical about manual link exchanges – a waste of time that irritates other webmasters receiving your stupid e-mails where you state that you visited their website and liked it so much…
But it is a fact that links are a must for a progress or success of any online project. One solution is to outsource this boring work. Some details and advice on how to efficiently arrange the outsourcing process were recently covered by Greg Nyland. It is not 100% safe way to delegate this important aspect of the work, but I’d rather go this way than do it myself again.
Another viable option is purchasing links. A few things that you should keep in mind while choosing links for rent:
- Relevancy
- Alexa rank (better than nothing)
- Website rank
- Page rank (where a link to your website will be added)
- Location of your link on the page
- Number of outbound links on this very page
- This web page cache
I used to rent links from high PR websites hoping to improve my website PR and natural SE results, but a lease of 3 months was fruitless for both websites. Now I’d rather pay attention to the amount of traffic (estimate) that page gets than its high PR. A prospect to get some traffic via a rented link looks more appealing than a prospect to (probably) increase one’s PR.
Summary: Websites need links. The more the better. Quality also matters. But nowadays search engines (= Google) index links selectively and unpredictably. It is up to you to develop your own link building program, but I am sure of one thing – one should have a program like this.
