Another SEO question

[Kasparoff]

I haven't made link exchanges in a long time. Now I wonder whether I should start exchanging links again and how should I do it. I know some of my skills are outdated so your suggestion will be appreciated.

First advice is not to do link exchanges - ie - two way linking where you arrange to link to each other sites. These reciprocal links are now devalued by Google in comparison to one way links.

Aim to build only one way links if possible, and do not worry about relevancy, all the current evidence from experts such as SEOmoz.org suggests that relevant links carry no more weight thatn non-relevant links. Its all about the quality of the site offering the link - its TrustRank.

So build one way links, build them steadily all the time, and dont worry about reciprocals or relevancy, and try to not get fixated with the PR of a site either.

As for where you can build one way links, well, just look around ;-)

You can join link exchange sites such as linksroom which i myself am part of, it works well because you get a backlink from the subpage of the site you link to.

thefandango is right. Google discounts all kinds of link exchanges, so don't ever spend your time and money in link exchanges; instead, build links from authorty sites having pages with content relevant to your site content. Creating link wheels work very well for generating quality links to your site.

Just exchange links with relevant sites - links are all about good traffic.
If your website is valuable enough, people will link to it. Work on your site and links will come.

I have many webmasters asking me to exchange links, some are coming from e-commerce selling skin care products.

I am very picky about the link exchanges, and accept only sites which do not compete with us and related to Hawaii. All the sites accpeted are checked carefully too.

Very simple rules, are making a peace of mind.

you should continue for link exchanges and do not stop building links to your site.

I saw e-commerce beginning to be directories with link exchanges. C'mon...

Do A-B-C links only mate, i remember in the past community i was in everybody did AB link exchanges and one day google just screwed everyone because everybody got labeled as a link scheme. which it was of course lol

I recommend you should build organ links of your website,because it is very effective for your business.They will increase your PR and traffic.

Whenever I receive a request or two for a link trade, I always take time to study their website and see if by having a link at their page will be beneficial for me, both for traffic and backlinks and if having a link to their site from my pages will be helpful for the visitors that comes in my website...

You should continue for link exchanges but with only relevant sites only and also try for getting one way links from relevant sites. You can also go for free directory submissions, classifieds, blogging, rss submissions, social network to promote your site.
