Link Exchange

Off-page SEO is an focal aspect of every overall link exchange tactic. However, before just randomly exchanging links with other sites, it’s imperative to focus first on your overall SEO strategy. Start by mapping which keywords you want to target on which pages. Try to only target a few keywords per page. Once you’ve figured out which pages are targeting which keywords, then you can go ahead and move on to your off-page SEO.

A essential ingredient in off-page SEO is developing backlinks. One-way backlinks are ideal, but in a lot of instances you will be required to link back from the same domain that you’re requesting they link to. I highly recommend that you DO NOT try to do link exchanges manually. These days, there are tons of great software packages to help automate reciprocal link exchanges. For just a not much money you can save a ton of your valuable time. The link exchange programs also ensure that the links stay up on your partner sites, which is key in maintaining your links.

Ideally, you want to exchange links with relevant sites. However, many sites have automated directories with topics or categories that are similar to your site’s category. You should make sure to place your link on those category pages that are most relevant, because search engines search through the text on the page your link is on to see just how relevant the link may be. For instance, if you have a link to a pool playing website on a page all about orchids, the link won’t bring much weight, and may even be penalized.

Other influential aspects to building links is to not build them too rapidly. If you add a lot of links in a short period search engines can pick up on it as being unnatural. Search engines also deem link building as unnatural when the anchor text of all the links are the same. So, you want to try to start slow and keep changing the anchor text of links to match your on-page SEO strategies for your landing pages. The more that your anchor texts of your links matches the targeted keywords for your website pages the better. You can test the correlation between your on-page SEO and off-page anchor texts by using some free website analyzers, which can help you make any tweaks once you get started.

This should give you some initial ideas of how to get started with your link exchange program. Once you’re up and running and indexed in all the major search engines you can start getting a little bit more high-level with how you approach your off-page SEO. Until then, reciprocal link exchanges can be valuable to get you started. Other link building techniques that you can try to use later are directory submissions and article syndication. Both are seen as secondary to first-rate relevant links, but both can also be acquired in short time spans because much of the groundwork is now automated through software programs that are readily available or relatively cheap. I hope this all helps, and Good luck!
