There’s more to link exchanges than just links.

March 7th, 2006 by User ImageNelson Tan

One-to-one manual link exchange is not just manual, but very much pointless.

The idea is this: the link actually has no value and until someone invented PageRank, it begins to take on a currency value. Of course, nobody likes to lose and only gain currency. Other than its relation to PageRank, the link doesn’t have much value.

Let’s face the ugly news: we know there is at least one IM veteran out there who actually wrote that he is now switched off to link requests. There’s nothing you can do about it if he chooses to ignore your request because it gives him greater benefit to focus on other priorities.

The ugly news is you can actually choose to switch yourself off to link requests. There’s nothing the other person can do about it if you choose to ignore his/her request because it gives you greater benefit to focus on other priorities.

One strategy to overcome this problem is to send article submission requests instead of link requests. You can get more inbound links to your site by submitting articles to directories and sites that accept them. Just remember to leave your signature in. That way, you can have more sites ‘pointing’ back to you any time Internet users find their desired keywords in YOUR articles from doing a search. The webmasters’ benefit is fresh content for their sites.

The article is quite simply your act of adding more value over the currency. Isn’t that still the same as link exchange?

Yes it’s true! A link is still a link. It’s only the strategy that counts. We reveal the SOLUTION in 3 days.
