Why The Best Text Links Are Free
From specialized text link networks, let’s go back to the basics to be reminded of what link exchange is really all about. It is a fact that the best text links over the internet are usually given for free. These text links are not exchanged over out-of-the-blue inquiries or paid for because it is simply given by different webmasters by choice to deserving individuals. You might be wondering though, ‘why the sudden interest in free links?’ Well, with Google and other major search engines cracking down on webmasters who use text links to increase page rank, there is certainly a cause for concern, as I’ve said over and over again.
Webmasters all over the world are affected since they are saw that their page rank went down drastically. But nobody says that you cannot use text links to drive or increase traffic to your web site — this is still legal. Just be sure to remove any tags which indicate that your links came from links exchanges or if it was otherwise bought for a price. Google has algorithms and uses hyperlinks to know the reputation of your site. So note that when your front page is muddled up with links to casinos and online gambling, it decreases the relevancy to link-based reputation.
Aside from this fact though, you should also be aware that it would be difficult for you to get quality text links which are really given voluntarily if your site looks like a mish-mash of keywords, gambling, and porn. If you’re the webmaster of a reputable website, you would not want to be associated with these kinds of sites, would you? So consider where the other webmaster is coming from to get the best possible page rank for your site without shouldering any additional costs. The other person would simply be glad to give a link to your site. So your site will get the kind of quality traffic it needs. At the same time, it is highly likely that this will lead to a dramatically improved page rank in the future.
