Link Exchange Like a Pro
If your just starting out or you have had a website for a long time then you will know the frustrations of not getting any visitors or very little visitors to your website.
One great way to increase visitors and improve search engine rankings is to increase your backlinks. Exchanging links with other websites will boost your search engine rank if done correctly.
When exchanging links remember to only exchange with sites that are related to your websites content – for example, if you have a Stock Market website then you should try and trade links with other stock market, shares, or stock trading sites.
Why? this keeps the search engines happy and also will generate more visitors, because both sites are on topic. So a visitor is more likely to click on your link.
So how do I link echange? Exchanging links has to be one of the most boring jobs ever, but can be very rewarding. Here are some ways to trade links with other websites -
- Post in forums – Link Exhange
- email webmasters or site owners
- post a link exchange proposal on your website for others to see
- Have a link exchange form on your website
These are just some ways you can approach others about exchanging links with your website. Personally I email the webmaster, but sometimes that can be hard as a lot of websites make it hard for you to get contact information – Here is a little trick you can use :
Next time you visit a website view the source of that page, in other words right click on the page and click view source. Then in the code find the author tag.
Sometimes this has the webmaster or site owners email address. If not there are other ways you can get in contact with the site owner by visiting whois.net and typing the domain name of the website you want to exchange links with.
Once you both agree on exchanging links then it is as simple as adding the other persons link to your site. Always make sure to check and see if the other website owner has your link on his/her page.
This is also called a reciprocal link exchange.

The Title Tag is the title of your web page that is displayed in your browser toolbar or tab. It can also be found in the <a> tag ,this is called an attribute of the <a> tag.

</html>
Here is the title attribute used in a anchor / link -
<a href=”http://www.sitename.com” title=”Keywords Here”></a>
Search engines use these tags to determine the title of the web page and many search engine companies have an algorithm of which they use to rank a web page in their search engine. The title tag plays a big role in most algorithms.
Role over this link to see the title attribute in use –> SEO <–
