Link Exchange

by Nansy Posted: 15 years ago 12 replies

A link exchange is a confederation of websites that operates similarly to a web ring. Webmasters register their web sites with a central organization, that runs the exchange, and in turn receive from the exchange HTML code which they insert into their web pages. In contrast to a web ring, where the HTML code simply comprises simple circular ring navigation hyperlinks, in a link exchange the HTML code causes the display of banner advertisements, for the sites of other members of the exchange, on the member web sites, and webmasters have to create such banner advertisements for their own web sites.

We all know that. Most of WF members are experts in the Internet field.

Nevertheless, I would argue that link exchange is not worth it. Google might slap you for that.

  What is the purpose behind you thinking that link exchanges will work for your website? What is it that you want to achieve? If you are able to answer this clearly, you will see a clearer path to take.

  Hi;
  
  I still occasionally see a web site where the owner has an offer right on the landing page to exchange links with the viewer.
  
  I have never bitten. Sounds like a really bad idea.
  
  Thanks

Link exchanges are a controversial topic in search engine optimization that produces a lot of discussion in SEO forums mostly from newbie webmasters wondering whether a particular exchange has any value to provide their website.
