Networking through Text Links
Several years ago, using text links to improve your site’s PageRank became popular. But since then, there has been a lot of concerns about the legitimacy of this practice especially since Google started cracking down on sites that used this method. This was further aggravated when it was discovered that several technical sites are actually selling text links to generate revenue. As you can probably predict, a lot of sites decided to stop using text links to increase PageRank but there are still some who continue to do this method. But more than PageRank, you should remember the main purpose of text links in the first place which is getting quality traffic and building a great network of related sites.
However, building a network to get quality page rank can sound quite difficult to some but there are several strategies you can use to get a few quality links anyway. These include joining several groups and networking sites to meet people who can give you quality text links. You can hang around these groups to barter within your network. Take note though that it is possible for trouble to occur when there is automatic link spamming in your network.
Did you ever consider not getting text links from some sites at all though? Well, if this is the case for you, then you should. This is because you can pass the PageRank to your own sites and get a better reputation. In addition, you don’t want to mess with sites that don’t have page rank at all because your site would be compromised as well. When you are building a network of quality sites, the last thing you want is getting low quality links that will decrease quality traffic and get you penalized by Google as well.
