Do links exchange programs work for SEO?
544244
Link exchange programs are not considered as effective as they used to be and some search engines like Google may even blacklist you if you have lots of links that aren't relevant to the content of your site. You are best off getting back links from relevant online directories etc.

I wouldn't use the program. \n\nI was using the program and making roughly $0.10/click and making $30,000 a month. Then they decided to cancel my account saying I had invalid clicks...\n\nIf you search online, you'll see that 3 of every 4 people Google does this to are innocent. This is a horrible business practice and ruins the lives of people like myself.

Google Adsense - It works well and on a few of my sites I make $500 to $600 per month!\nAdSense is an advertising program run by Google. Website owners can enroll in this program to enable text and image advertisements on their sites. These ads are administered by Google and generate revenue on either a per-click or per-thousand-ads-displayed basis. Google utilizes its search technology to serve ads based on website content, the user's geographical location, and other factors. Those wanting to advertise with Google's targeted ad system may sign up through AdWords. AdSense has become a popular method of placing advertising on a website because the ads are less intrusive than most banners, and the content of the ads is often relevant to the website.\nIt currently uses JavaScript code to incorporate the advertisements into a participating site. If it is included on a site which has not yet been crawled by the Mediabot, it will temporarily display advertisements for charitable causes known as public service announcements (PSAs). (Note that the Mediabot is a separate crawler from the Googlebot that maintains Google's search index.)\nMany sites use AdSense to monetize their content and some webmasters work hard to maximize their own AdSense income. They do this in three ways:\n1.They use a wide range of traffic generating techniques including but not limited to online advertising. \n2.They build valuable content on their sites; content which attracts AdSense ads and which pay out the most when they get clicked. \n3.They use copy on their websites that encourage clicks on Ads. Note that Google prohibits people from using phrases like "Click on my AdSense ads" to increase click rates. Phrases accepted are "Sponsored Links" and "Advertisements". \nTo get some ‘insider’ secrets on how to boost your AdSense & Yahoo earnings with a unique software Ad tracking program, visit:\nhttp://www.websitetrafficbuilders.com/adsense.htm\nhttp://www.web-site-award-winning.com/adsense-video-course.htm\n\nhttp://www.websitetrafficbuilders.com/web-site_promotion_search-engine-placement-url-placement.htm

Two ways come to mind.  The first is a banner exchange program like LinkShare (which i believe is a microsoft company) and the second is to get other web sites to create text links on their site pointing to your site.

First off, when adding your link to search engines, don't stop at just the top ten or just five of them. I have a personal website and it is listed in over 1500 search engines. The question isn't why the answer to it though is simple enough. Each direct link that you have coming into your site gives you a better chance at having a higher page rank. You see your page rank at:\n\nhttp://www.checkpagerank.com/\n\nPage rank is calculated based on the importance of the website. Each link going into the website is a vote counted towards your page rank. It also helps to have higher page ranking websites link to your site as well.\n\nIn total the more links you have going to your site, the more importance your website has on the Internet as a whole.\n\nDon't stop. Keep submitting your links to every search engine that you can possibly find. If you need more help you can contact me if needed but I'm sure you can figure that out. Finding search engines to submit your site to is easy.\n\nFind people who are willing to exchange links. Or, otherwise known as reciprocal linking. It's best to find people willing to trade links with your site that are around the same area of expertise. Another words, you wouldn't want to trade links with someone that has a website based off of tractor supplies when your website is based solely upon homeade fudge. If you had a food website, you would want more food websites linking to it.\n\nTo arrange all of your reciprocal links on your site, it's best to make a page called 'Links' to put all the links on that page. Remember, it's not only search engines that get your website listed at the top. Reciprocal linking is another part of that.\n\nThere are a lot of other gimics you can use to get links to your site, but to give a suggestion on how to start..\n\nThink of it like this, people using the Internet are bugs or flies and your website is a spiderweb. You want to make the biggest spiderweb you could possibly make. There's two major ways in doing that. \n\nBy word. Tell people and have them tell other people and have those people pass the word.\nBy links. Links are everything. People spend an average of 2 minutes per website when surfing, give or take that is an average amount of time. The more links you have coming into your website, the more people will acknowledge your website as value of importance.\n\nTo read more on page ranking you can go here for a vast amount of information. I believe that this page should have the answers to many questions you might still have.\n\nhttp://www.iprcom.com/papers/pagerank/

iam not clear of your question but still   it should work\n\nWRITE THE INTERNET LINK WITH in your e- mail "http://www.yahoo.com" and it will appear like http://www.yahoo.com

Google will accept it, however you will have much better luck listing it in the directories with a domain.\nhttps://www.google.com/adsense/policies\nhttp://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html

Yes. Content is KING. Search Engine Optimization is important but if you have original, good content the success will come for sure.

Your website needs to be "optimized". You can use search engine marketing services for this. Search engine ranking algorithms are complex and take into account a lot of factors such as metatags, content, link popularity. In many cases, it is usually cheaper to outsource as this is a complex and time eating process to learn and understand how it all works. Implemented by the right people, it can have tremendous results.

These days there is a big gap in levels of service provision among SEOP's. (SEO Professionals.) \n\nFrom self taught freelances such as yourself, to top SEO consultants, to web development firms, to independant web amrketing specialists - there are many providers outthere who see SEO as an optional upsell, and who hve vast differences in their level of understanding.\n\n(I bid on a project the other day for a client who had SEO done for $700 per month - for 7k, this was the msot cut-rate service Id ever seen)\n\nThat said, here's what I recommend: First, GET A SAMPLE PROPOSAL. Find one. Submit a fake RFQ. Visit other SEO sites... consultant sites, not random SEO firms.  A good one is bruceclay.com. See how people are talking about SEO.\n\nBecause if you bid, you're probly gonna get a client who has recieved one or two, and its important to sound educated from an SEO standpoint. (regardless of the results you're confident you can achieve)\n\nHourly rate is bad. Bad for you and the client, unless youre a top level consultant.\n\nJust starting out, I recommend charging per page for 'on-page' SEO, and then devise a "package" for 'off page' SEO -- such as link popularity, etc. ie: for x per month, you get X incoming links from x sources with x page rank.\n\nGet educated. See what others are doing researching. While everyone should have a chance to make a buck, it's irrisponsible to charge for a service if you are not a specialist just because its within an industry known for lacking a precice metrics system. \n\nGood Luck!

Mass mailings - no!  These will only end up in the SPAM or BULK mail of people and rather than promote could, if done incorrectly, generate bad publicity.\n\nBanner exchanges is a possibility...however, no flashing banners with gaudy colouring...small, well designed yes, could work.\n\nAdding a signature line to all emails you generate is unobtrusive and sometimes an effective way of generating traffic.  \n\nPossibly creating a Refer service would work...visitors to your site, when they sign up are asked to refer people they believe would be interested in your site offerings.  For, say, 5 referrals that prove productive they would receive a Free listing on your site for one auction.  \n\nCreate a "contest" and list it with some of the Contest sites...offering a free auction listing for one item, for instance and include the value of the "prize" in the contest information.\n\nMost sites that are seeking the generation of traffic have to come up with creative ways of doing it.  Creating hype with no rewards doesn't work any longer...\n\nRegister with Adsense and have your ad become part of the system to be added to  like sites.  These generate reasonable results because they are not imposing on the visitor and they are geared towards what the visitor is interested to begin with.  It's possible that your adsense ad could be posted on sites such as Amazon.com, Google, Ebay etc.  Any site that has related auction information...including when people search for auctions.\n\nCreate a newsletter or message board...add things of interest to not only your current clientele but incentives that will have them spreading the word for you.\n\nA site such as BzzAgent.com might be of benefit as well...word of mouth agents that talk to people about services and products they have tried.  \n\nDo up a very good ebook or pdf that relates to the Auction world in general...How to write a Winning auction, how to take effective pictures, best way to display your product/item etc etc.  By making this a really great item that is available for free and includes screen captures of your site as examples that when clicked, would lead the reader directly to that page on your site (this could entice the reader to then explore the site on their own) in each article...also including links to your site as well as perhaps incentives to join your site and use your auction service...can generate more traffic as well.\n\nGrabbing a book on how to run an auction site will garner more ideas about how to market it.  Searching on how to market an auction site will also get you more great info.  You want to stay away from any marketing scheme that irritates people however.  Bulk anything, annoying banners, overly large signature lines or blatant "advertising" of your site on other sites such as message boards sales pitch and nothing else that is remotely related to the site you are visiting, will result in bad press.\n\nGoes without saying...ensure that the major search engines are aware of your site.  Typing in "auctions" garnered no mention of your site up to page 5...ideally page 3 is the furthest you want to be, page one  within the top 10 is optimum.  "auction sites" was the same result, no mention as of page 5. \n\nEnsure the site is setup (in the html code) to optimally invite the crawlers and robots but to avoid the pages you do not want it to crawl.  The index is the main area therefore you want to direct the robots to this.  There is specific code that instructs robots to crawl only the index.  Ensure that the content is always fresh, this continues to  invite the robots to your site and boosts your standings.  The more visits made to the site, the higher the rank climbs to.  In the Meta Tags ensure that KEY words are included.  Don't place a truck load of keywords as the crawlers stop normally at about the first 10.  Make these 10 words count by putting the MAIN aspects of your site here.  If you hav
