Truth about Reciprocal Linking - Don't Believe the Reciprocal Link Conspiracy!


Webmasters are Turning the World Wide Web in to a World Wide Mess

In the Past

Web surfers could surf from site to site via the links section and find lots of great sites to keep them occupied for hours on end without ever having to visit a search engine. Much of what a surfer specifically wanted to find could be stumbled across by glancing through a couple of sites' link sections.

Today's Web

Now, unfortunately, the WWW is a much different landscape.

Webmaster greed has caused them to "hide" their link sections or call it names like "Exchange Links with Us" because they know that no one would click that link -other than webmasters.

The LIE here is believing that a visible link section containing other quality sites -even competing sites- will cause you to lose visitors. This is probably the most common webmaster misconception.

You won't lose a single visitor to your site via your links section because no surfer in their right mind is going to click on your "Links" link until they know for sure that they have what they need from your site or that your site does NOT have what they need.

So, what if the visitor doesn't find what they want?

If you do not have a links section, they will just hit that little 'Back' button and go back to the search engine they most likely came from. You still won't get a sale or a click. If you make your money solely from banner/text ads on your site, you will still make that money. If done well, the surfer will click those paid links before checking a link exchange page. If not done well, they wouldn't have clicked anyway.

If you have a links section, you're just helping our your neighbor websites and vice versa. You also help the web surfer and keep the search engines' influence from getting out of control.

There is also a new trend that has been taking hold in the search engine optimization (SEO) world and that is buying and selling links. Done right, this can be an effective strategy for increasing traffic from the selling sites and for helping to boost search rankings. Done wrong, however, this tactic can pinpoint you as "manipulating" the search results. Learn more about how to properly buy links and sell links.
