Link exchanges are sites that bring webmasters together to cooperate in
exchange of links for
benefit building both pagerank
and link popularity. They are commonly used to gain link popularity which will increase ranking in search engines like Yahoo! or
Google. Both of these engines use link popularity as a factor in calculating web pages ranking in
search engine results. One such
link exchange, www.free-text-link-exchange.com, is just one of
many sites that will help you accomplish your inbound link goals.
Be very careful to choose
correct anchor text when signing up to a link exchange. Anchor text is
text within
hyperlink. The
major search engines look carefully at this text to help determine what your page is about. For example if there are 1000 pages
linking to yours with
words "buy a car" then you will likely do very well when someone uses
search phrase "buy a car". Simple
huh?
An example of
power of anchor text is what is known as a "google bomb". If enough sites link to a specific website with
same
anchor text then that site will rank well for that term regardless of whether
keywords are even found on
page.
Remember to let
other webmasters painstakingly search out
individual reciprocal linking partners while you and I harness
power of large numbers of webmasters by using a link exchange.
