Reciprocal LinkA reciprocal link is a link that points to a web page that links back. Two web site owners exchange links by adding each other's links to their sites. Web site owners exchange links to build traffic and help search engine ranking. How does it work? We have exchanged links with thousands of web sites and use an automated system to keep track of the sites that are linked to ChangingLINKS.com. When someone adds a link, we place a link to their page from our site. Because our focus is sharing links randomly in a frameset, we do not have a directory that someone can browse and find their link. However, we create dynamic pages that allow search engines to know who we link to. We send occasional email updates so that our members know how many viewers we have sent to their page. Hit counters can be used to verify the traffic. The Graphic, Visualization & Usability Center at the Georgia Institute of Technology (GA Tech) conducted a survey, and discovered that more people find new sites from links than any othermethod. One question asks, "How do you find out about new WWW pages/sites?" 
KEY (this shows exactly the choices users were given) -- Links: Follow hyperlinks from other Web pages; SE: Internet search engines (e.g., Alta Vista, Lycos, etc.); Friends: Friends; Print: Magazines/newspapers; Dir: Internet directories (e.g., Yahoo, McKinley, etc.); Sigs: Signatures at end of email messages; TV: Television advertisements; Usenet: Usenet newsgroups; Other: Other Sources; Books: Books Search engines are one of the most popular means of finding web sites but, the search engines are not very accurate. Often times viewers will use search engines to find documents close to the one they need and then use links to get to the needed page. The search engines assume the more links other web sites have to your website, the more popular your web site must be and therefore, the more important they feel it is to have your web site in their listings. What are the benefits?
You can pay sites like worldnetdaily.com between $30 - $75 for reciprocal links (but it is a classified ad). Generally, sites will exchange links for free if asked, however, it takes a lot of work and time. It is easy to exchange links with ChangingLINKS.com because we have an automated system. And, what's better is . . . We offer our reciprocal link service to all pages that register, for FREE! |
