Linking help please!
 

I am finding so many opportunities to fire up traffic to my website at no cost but the problems that I have limited computer skills. I was never told how to access my control panel on my website so I can manually add links people are giving me. I am now asked to authenticate my website by posting their link on it and then putting a return link back to them. I am frustrated with this problem. Trying so hard to get this to work within my limitations, can anyone help.

I'd say that is probably the most common hurdle people face, it can seem pretty overwhelming at first. Unless you have the funds to outsource your development work you really have no choice but to learn the basics of HTML and general web hosting.

I highly recommend a membership at Learning @ Your Own Pace - lynda.com even if you only sign up for just one month. I have learnt a lot from their videos, they basically cover anything and everything relating to IT.

To answer your question there are two different ways to go about it. You can log-in to WEBePanel yoursite.com/menu and access your index.html file via file manager. Or you can download an FTP client such as Filezilla and use that to access the files on your site. This is the preferred method as you can edit the files locally using your HTML editor of choice. If you don't have one Wordpad works perfectly fine. Then just reupload the file to your site, if the change didn't work you can easily undo it.

All the best,
Mike.

You should take advantage of LinkMachine if you are going to do reciprocal links. If you need help installing, please let me know.

If you want high quality one way links (much preferred over reciprocal linking) please pm me and I will provide you a link (5 bucks a month) and you can begin getting PR5 - PR8 one way links from very high profile sites. (How would a one way link from say - Adobe help out your traffic?) Five bucks a month and about an hour a day and you will begin driving traffic to your sites that you can't believe.

Best of luck.

I believe reciprocal linking is not advised any more. The search engines are apparently really
clamping down on it and in fact penalizing sites in some cases for participating in reciprocal linking programmes. I personally stopped doing this about 2 years ago.

I do not know what you mean by reciprocal linking but all or most of the free service site require it if you want their help and they guarantee it too.
