Now for a little trick I use to find good page rank link traders. Go to http://www.webmasterbrain.com/prog/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q= . Type in your main keyword or phrase and search. Find a competitive web site with a through roof page rank. Click "inbound links" right under title and there ya go. Find sites with high page ranks and visit them. Gather email addresses to contact them.

You'll want to tell linking prospects you're a brand new site when you email them. Mention that you are aggressively campaigning for reliable link partners and high search engine rankings. Throw in a service, gift or other offer as a way to thank them for new linking partnership as follows: "If you would like to trade links, we'll give you an (service) as a symbol of thanks." If you have some good(PR5+) new links, let them know it. This will ensure them that you mean business and that your web site's overall page rank is on increase. Lastly, add your site to as many directories (large & small) as possible using keyword text as your title. If you do this and keep at it, you won't be sorry!

Keep in mind that these new pages are interior pages, which means that they should provide a link to other pages on your site, and your site should provide a link back to those pages. If you’ve done your homework right, these new pages are providing value to your users, therefore providing value to search engines, so there’s no reason why you wouldn’t want to link to these new interior pages.

Can you use redirects from text-based pages to pages of graphics? I highly recommend not doing so. The engines have never been fond of redirects for one thing. But, even if your redirects aren’t “sneaky” (as Google says in their Guidelines), if you don’t use text links with keyword phrase in link text, you’re missing out on one of most valuable search engine optimization strategies available to you: using your keyword phrase in link text pointing to your pages.

4. You can leave your existing graphic-intense pages as they are, and instead concentrate on “off page” factors such as building link popularity to those pages and making sure that pages linking to graphics pages use link text that contains your important keyword phrase. In other words, you can work on your “link reputation.”

After all, you can compete with big boys using almost any strategy that is detrimental to search engine rankings if your link popularity and link reputation is strong enough, and if sites linking to you describe your site using your important keyword phrase.

By “strong” enough, I mean that links should be from popular, authoritative sites in your topic area. Sheer numbers aren’t what we’re after here. We’re after links from popular and authoritative sites in our topic area. We’re also after links that use our important keyword phrase in link text describing our pages.

In Conclusion

Though best solution is to add text to your pages of graphics, sometimes you (or your client) won’t want to go that route. They may want to keep existing pages just as they are.

In those situations, it’s important to have some “Google friendly” solutions that will give you best chance at achieving top rankings for your pages, while making sure that you’re following guidelines as stated by Google.
