Link Exchange

Search Engine Optimizations is a complicated industry. One facet of this task is getting your URL out on the Internet and directing people to your website. Not only is this good in that people are more likely to travel to your site but search engines index this and it all adds up to get you higher on the search results page. Because everyone knows this, there is a crazy world out there consisting of forums, companies, directories, and the like all devoted to exchanging links. Let’s explore some of the situations and whether or not this should be important to you.

A common way of exchanging links when you have a small business website is the old fashioned manual communication. For example, Charlotte Web Design company A approaches Charlotte Graphic Design company B and requests that links are exchanged. If both parties are up for it, a link to the other’s website will be placed somewhere where visitors are encouraged to click. Then, the next time a major search engine indexes the websites, it will take note of how many added inbound links there are for each website and it will increase the odds of a high ranking search result. Should the common person do this? The answer is maybe. You should definitely take your time in researching the company that requests your link. Make sure that their content is not primarily spam or completely unprofessional. It makes sense to not send your visitors to a bad website, not to mention the possibility of a fraudulent link exchange (this being where a website waits for your add and does not return the favor). Just remember that most people believe that you are guilty by association.

The other most common way of exchanging links is by using directories or companies that submit to directories for you. Whether this is free or not, it should theoretically increase traffic. The only thing is that you can’t really control where your links are being placed. Also, many of these sites require several back links or links to other websites that you may or may not be able to choose. Many paid websites offer one-way links. The best advice here is, if you are maxed out in your SEO and looking for something new, try this and if it doesn’t work out after six months or so, forget about it. This is known to increase traffic for some and have no effect for others.

Most importantly, do your research. Research the companies that request a link exchange to your website. Research the effects of anything that you might try. Research the companies that you may use to increase the volume of inbound links to your website. CODANK knows SEO and offers custom solutions to help increase traffic to your website.
