Hi,

Started looking into SEO for my websites and am wondering how to start the 'Link Exchange' part of it?
I have a Useful Links page at my portfolio site: links.html
Is this correct? Do i put back-links here?

How do i go getting links?

Thanks everyone

It depends what criteria the third party has put in place for the link exchange, personally I usually accept site-wide links for my website, or at least very useful links. If you do place them on that page, then that page must be of a good pagerank for it to be of any worth. For a site like yours, it's probably worth having space for five site wide links, and just some space around for other links.

Know what you need. First you have to sort out what are the website you wanted to posted at. What kind, must be relevant to help your site in ranking. Then learn how to say no to websites you think would not do you any good, like websites unrelated or having a link farm. Quality should come first, not quantity. Once you sorted out what I mentioned first then start exploring online for those websites you need and negotiate link exchange.

Exchanging links with other webmasters has always remained a controversy among people and site admins. Sometimes people may be in search of reciprocal links from high PR pages while others may care about the relevancy of the pages, regardless of their PageRank.

Indeed Bermuda, relevant or high PR (over 2 is good enough).

1st thing you need to do is find the high ranking sites in your niche look at their links page and get links from the same people, best to make sure their domain PR is atleast 2 if below and a new site its ok as the owner is probably working on it but if its an old domain its dead, forget it. After that go to google and use the search term - +"add url" +"your niche" - (you can sub URL for site etc) this will pick up your niche sites who are looking for link exchange. Then go through your links and make sure these people are still linking to you.

Simples.

Its always better to try and exchange links with other people in the same field as you. There will be no point in a cake shop exchanging links with a tyre shop. This will not help you get higher ranked. Try to link with companies from the same industry.
