Web Design, Hosting, SEO/Marketing/Promotion Link Exchange Page

I am tired of exchanging links. Please do not email me to ask for a link exchange.

I have categorized my links pages so that there will be less links on each page. Don't worry, I didn't take your link and instantly stick it on a page with no PageRank. The pages all have a PR 4 on them. Your link is in one of the categories below.

One main thing you want to do is have a lot of text on your pages. 250-300 words is good, but the more you have, the more substance and value the search engine robots will think your site has. That's why I'm filling this page up with various text.

Another thing is to spend some time thinking about what your keyword phrases are, or use a site like WordTracker.com to help you figure them out, then use those keywords as often as possible, in different ways, throughout the text of your site. You want to have quite a bit of these keywords repeated near the top of the page, but be subtle about it. It still has to be readable to your visitors and if you overdo it, the search engines may think you are spamming them and drop your site from their engine. Also, be sure to put your keyword phrases in the title of your page. Many people who don't know web design and attempt to create their own site, end up with a title such as "Home" or "Welcome". How many times have you seen that in your Favorites list? Too many probably. The title is the part of the page that shows up at the very top of the browser window when you are on a web site, next to the Internet Explorer icon. You have to put the title in your html code, it's not something you can just type on the page, although you will want to type it on the page as well in most cases. If the name of your site is, "Heather's Best Products and Services", don't use that as your title, because title are given the most weight with search engines, and no one is searching for a term like "best products and services". It's too broad. So never mind what your actual site name is, you can put that in the page text. Make up a title that describes what you're selling, or what you offer on your site. If you are selling web design and hosting, then your title could be "Web Design and Hosting - Lowest Rates - Professional web site design and web hosting." See how I've repeated words and also included variations such as "web site design" and "web design". Other keywords are "lowest rates", and "professional web site design". You can stuff as many as you want in there. It is generally believed that Google counts up to 65 characters (letters) in your title. I don't know if that counts the spaces, but I would guess so. Try to put your most relevant keywords at the beginning, and repeat them once or twice if possible. There is no penalty for going over the 65 characters, and other search engines may use more or less characters, depending on the engine. I know there is no penalty because I used over 65 in my title tag for my home page on this site and I have a PR 6 and have not been penalized at all by Google. Also, my last words, the ones that are over 65, still show up in the search engine as part of my title when I looked for it. So I don't really know where SEO's got the idea it was 65, but that is the general belief. I can tell you that it's not entirely true, but it may be a good guideline.

About link exchanging... it's kind of the same idea as with titles. If your title is Larry's Site, but you are selling Heating and Air Conditioning, then you will want to make link title "Heating and Air Conditioning". In the description, you can add "Larry's Site" if you wish. The underlined, hyperlinked part is the part that search engines count the most. It's called anchor text. I have a customer with a site called "Dream Getaway", but his main keywords are "adult travel". So I make his links as so:

Adult Travel - Dream Getaway offers great adult vacation and travel packages in exotic Costa Rica. We offer beautiful female escort companions. We are your guide to the most erotic, exotic adult travel vacation you've ever dreamed of.

You can also hold your cursor over the "Adult Travel" link and see that there is a screen tip added. I'm not sure if the search engines count those, but it can't hurt. But when you are asking other sites to exchange links with you, don't make up a complicated link with screen tips and two or three different links in the text and crap like that. Only do that with your own links. ScreenTips are good for giving additional information about a link to describe it, without actually having to write it on your page.

If you are going to do a link exchange program, download the Google Toolbar. You'll want to know what PageRank other sites have before you exchange with them. I don't exchange with sites that have less than a 4 PR. Plus, they have to have a PR on their links page as well. The links page also has to be easy to find from the home page. If I have to search all over their site to find my link, forget it. Just put a small link at the bottom of your home page that says "Links" or "Resources" or something similar. That's not so hard, is it? (Apparently it is for some people.) You need to check back every few months to make sure these people still have your link up on their site. Many sites will get you to link to them, and later they will remove their link to YOUR site, so that they now have a one-way link pointing to their site (which is much better than a link exchange.) They are sneaky. Don't trust anyone, always check. Then there are the people who "forget" to add your link. And they will forget for months and months and months, years even. They'll blame it on their webmaster (Get a new one, dummy! - Like me!). Whatever their reason, they will never bother to put your link up, and here you have been linking to them for nearly a year, waiting. Just take their link down and forget about it. Tell them if you want, and let them know that AFTER they put your link up, you will link back to them. I don't get these people. They seem to have to sense. They obviously don't know that link exchanging is helping their rankings. I can't find hardly any good sites to exchange with my client's Witchcraft Spells site. See how I snuck that link in? ;) And that's not the name of the site either, that is the keyword phrase that we want the search engines to list it under. The main reason I cleared out this page and put my link exchange partners on a different page was so that I could put my client's links on this page, since it ranks highly in Google. Good luck to you with your web site. If you need a designer or host, you know who to call - ME!
