Why is linking important for your web site?

Some webmasters are unsure whether they should add link pages to their web site, and some don't know which factors are important to determine if they should link to a certain site or not.

Here are some tips about why your web site should have a link directory and what makes a site worth linking to:

1. The Internet is made up of links

The Internet is made up of links. If there weren't links, the Internet wouldn't exist. For this reason, if you find a good web site with good content you should link to that site.

Don't care about the search engine ranking or the PageRank of the site you're linking to. If you find a web site that you or your visitors find valuable, then link to it and ask for a reciprocal link to your site.

Search engines just try to organize the Internet. Links build it. If you participate in building the Internet with good links, your web site is in a good position.

2. Links are a courtesy to your visitors

Ask yourself why web surfers visit your web site. Give them what they're looking for. In addition, help your visitors by offering them links to related web sites. Links to related web sites show your visitors that you care about them.

You should always build your web site with your visitors in mind. If your web site is useful and important to your visitors, search engines will honor that. A well-designed link directory can help you to make your site useful and important for your visitors.

3. Content is king

Search engine optimization experts will tell you that content is the most important thing about a web site.

A good link directory is a valuable resource for your visitors and it improves the content of your web site. If your web site contains many related links for a specific topic, chances are that your web site will be considered as an authority and a hub for that topic by web surfers and search engines.

Well-designed link pages with useful and related links help you to make your web site more useful and attractive for web surfers. web sites that are useful and attractive for web surfers get high search engine rankings because they're considered authorities and worth linking to.

ARELIS helps you to find and manage high quality links as quickly and easily as possible. Download the free trial version now.

How does ARELIS work?

You enter your web site address and some keywords that are relevant to your web site. Click the "Find new link partners"button and ARELIS will present you with a list of relevant and similar web pages, together with almost all the information you need. You can then contact the web sites and ask for a reciprocal link to your web site using our well-tested and customizable templates.

In addition, ARELIS quickly finds web sites that link to your competitors. Sites that link to your competitors are web sites that should link to you. ARELIS quickly locates these web sites and it helps you to convince the webmasters of these sites to link to your site.

It's the perfect form of a reciprocal link exchange program that brings qualified traffic to your site.

It's very easy and because most of it is automated it's very fast. Just download the free demo version and test ARELIS without obligation .

Where does the free traffic come from?

ARELIS will get you free traffic in many ways: targeted traffic from all your reciprocal link partners, return traffic because of your link directory and more search engine traffic because search engines factor in how many sites link to your site (link popularity).

reciprocal link exchange program explained


Reciprocal links will help to increase your placement in search engine listings. However, the important thing is the link pointing to your web site and the targeted traffic you get from the link itself.

Search engines are just one way to get traffic. You'll soon find out that the free, targeted traffic from your link partners offers a much better return on investment than your search engine listings.

What is the difference between ARELIS Standard and ARELIS Business?

See the comparison table on our pricing page.

Won't links to other sites drive traffic away from my site to the other sites?

No.  People who come to your reciprocal links page already know your site exists.  If they like your site, they'll be back. You can also open links to other sites in new windows.

When you exchange links with other websites, you'll receive traffic from those other sites. New users, who have never been to your site before will come to your site. 

Reciprocal links are mutually beneficial to both parties, even when both websites are focused on the same genre.

For example, if you have a site that sells writing paper, and you know of another site that sells fountain pens, you could exchange links with each other. Your sites don't sell the exact same type of product and you're not directly competing with each other. However, you are in the same genre. Therefore, a reciprocal link is good for both sites.  This is what a reciprocal link exchange is all about.

Why is ARELIS better than searching manually for link partners?

Your main benefit is that you'll get much more links to your web site with ARELIS. ARELIS has many advantages. For example, ARELIS creates custom link directories with the click of a single button - much faster than creating link pages manually.

With ARELIS, you can change the link description of a web site in seconds. ARELIS also allows you to change the category of a web site or removing a web site entirely from your link pages with a few mouse clicks.

ARELIS can check if a web site still links back to you. Even after weeks or months. You don't have to visit every web site every few days. ARELIS will do it all for you. If someone doesn't link back to you anymore, ARELIS can automatically remove that web site from your link pages or send an email message to that person.

ARELIS finds relevant link partners for you and it automatically adds a title and description for these pages. ARELIS also helps you to find the contact information of a web site so that you can contact the web site owner faster.

With ARELIS, you can manage the link pages for many pages in an easy to use environment and ARELIS makes it very easy for you to keep track of your links. You'll always know who you've already contacted, who's new on the list and who didn't write back and should be contacted again.

ARELIS makes managing link pages so easy that you can easily offer it as a service for clients. In short, ARELIS saves you much time while improving your search engine ranking.

Does your software create a link farm that search engines penalize?

No, absolutely not. ARELIS does NOT create a link farm. It just automates the task of finding other relevant web sites that could possibly link to you. Your personal link directory has nothing to do with big free for all (FFA) link pages or automated link farm pages that contain hundreds of unrelated links.

The link pages that you create with ARELIS are on your web server and you alone decide which links will be added to your link pages. Your link directory is a unique page on the web that contains only links that you have chosen. In addition, your ARELIS link directory page has a unique design because you can customize the link directory so that it matches your web site design.

"Link popularity is one of, if not the most important, factors in improving a site's search engine rankings. Yet, a lot of people seem to be concerned that search engines consider link directories as spam.

Don't confuse the reciprocal link directories with link farms and link exchange services. Those kind of services swap links via a centralized web site. It's simple for search engines to catch sites that use these services.

Reciprocal link directories created by software, such as ARELIS, are different.

They don't use a centralized link exchange system. The exchange is conducted directly between you and the partner site. There isn't a standard site template. You can customize your link directory in anyway you like. So much so, that even a HTML expert couldn't tell if a link directory was created by hand, or a program such as ARELIS.

So, there is virtually impossible for search engines to seek out and ban all link directories created by software such as ARELIS, without banning all link directories on the web."
Michael Wong, www.Search-Engine-Optimization-Strategies.net



ARELIS is the easiest and fastest way to get high quality reciprocal links for your site and it's the easiest way to manage your link pages.

Can I use ARELIS to manage a portal?

Yes, ARELIS is a great tool for making your portal site rich with multiple categories of related links.

What if I already have a links page?

You can easily add your existing links to ARELIS and find many new web sites.

Can I use ARELIS with FrontPage, Dreamweaver, etc.?

Yes, of course. If you want to design your link pages in your favorite HTML editor, you can do so. Just tell ARELIS where to find your web page and then it creates link pages in the same design. All your link pages will perfectly fit the design of your web site.

If you want to upload your pages, you can use any FTP program or any HTML editor with upload functionality. ARELIS creates standard HTML pages so you can upload the link pages like your other web pages to your server.

Is this a spamming tool?

No. ARELIS is definitely NOT a spamming tool. ARELIS requires that you visit each and every found web site before you can send an email message.

It does not automate the task of sending email messages and it does not create a list of email addresses. For spammers, the tool is useless.

Sending personal link exchange messages is a legitimate way to contact potential business partners.

The email feature of ARELIS allows you to automatically include each website's unique information into the body of your email to further personalize your message. A built-in email filter check in ARELIS warns you if your email might be considered as spam.

On top of that, the software license strictly prohibits sending Spam messages. If you think someone abuses his license of ARELIS, send an email message to abuse@Axandra.com and we are able to cancel their license immediately.

ARELIS is a serious and reputable web site promotion tool that helps you to improve the effectivness of your web site in a legal and serious way.

I'm a web novice. Will I be able to understand ARELIS?

Of course! ARELIS has been designed in such a way that novices as well as experienced webmasters will find the tool very easy to use. Just download the free demo version and within a few minutes, you'll have collected several dozen possible link partner web sites.

ARELIS saves you time while improving your search engine ranking

To get a good ranking on Google, you must improve the link popularity of your web site, i.e. the number of quality web sites that link to your site. To establish those links, you have to find and mail to those web sites.

Find out how ARELIS can help you to save many, many hours of tedious work and why ARELIS provides better link exchange results:

Task
Improving your Google ranking the old-fashioned way
Improving your Google ranking with ARELIS
Finding potential link partners You search the web manually for hours. You click the "Find new link partners" button in ARELIS and that's it. ARELIS finds relevant and suitable link partners for you. Automatically and very fast.

ARELIS also finds sites that link to your competitors automatically.

Choosing relevant and suitable link partners You need hours to look at good and bad web sites. ARELIS rates all found web sites and sorts them by relevance. The built-in preview browser and AlexaŽ information help you.
Keeping a list of web sites that still must be asked, didn't reply, etc. You have to invent a list format and keep it up-to-date, while switching between the list, your web browser and your email program. With ARELIS, you always know at which status you are with which web site. ARELIS automatically builds a list, sets a status and allows you to sort and search that list.
Mailing a link request
For every email, you have to start from scratch: finding and entering names, email addresses, web site addresses, etc.
The mail templates in ARELIS automatically fill in the necessary information. You just choose the web site in the list in click the "Send Email Message" button to send your customized email message.
Mailing a second link request
Hopefully, you've kept your list up-to-date and you remember which sites replied and which sites did not reply.
With ARELIS, you always know which sites replied and which sites did not reply. Select another template in ARELIS and aks the webmaster again.
Creating link pages
You have to keep track to which sites you want to link, which sites don't link back anymore and you must update your web pages accordingly. Creating category and sub-category pages is a task that costs a lot of time.
ARELIS does it all for you. Just click the "Create link pages" button to create up to date link pages within 2 seconds. Adding, editing and removing links is just a matter of seconds. All ARELIS link page templates can be customized so that they fully match the design of your web site.
Checking your link pages for broken links
You have to click all links on your link pages manually or you have to use an extra tool to find broken links. You must email the webmaster and ask them for the correct link and you have to manually update your link pages.
ARELIS checks all the links on your link pages automatically. It can mail the webmaster when a broken link is found, remove the link (optional) and update your link pages with just one mouse click.
Finding out who removed the link back to your site without your knowledge If you have many link partners, it is almost impossible to check all sites if they still link back to you. You'll never know if someone has removed a link to your site. ARELIS checks your link partner web sites if they still link back to you. If it detects the removal of a link to your site, it can automatically remove your link to their site on your link pages and more.
Doing all tasks above for multiple web sites or for the sites of your clients Without ARELIS, it's already a very time-consuming work for your own web site. Doing this manually for more than one web site is more work than one person can do. ARELIS comes in two editions. The Standard edition manages an unlimited number of link partners for two web sites, the Business edition allows you to manage the link partners for an unlimited number of web sites.
Conclusion If you don't use ARELIS, improving your link popularity to improve your ranking on Google and all other major search engines is hard work, tedious and costs a lot of time and money.
With ARELIS, it causes as little work as possible to build a good reciprocal link network that improves your ranking on search engines. You save a lot of time and you get results much faster.

Is ARELIS a search engine friendly web site promotion tool?

Yes, ARELIS is a search engine friendly web site promotion tool. Some people are concerned that ARELIS can make automated queries to Google and that Google doesn't like automated queries. Please keep in mind that you can always choose if you want ARELIS to use Google or not.

If you don't want to use Google, you can choose any other search engine that is powered by Google and that delivers the same results, for example AOL Search, HotBot, iWon or Yahoo. We advice that you check the terms and conditions of any search engine that you're going to use.

Here are the facts about ARELIS:

ARELIS is a search engine friendly web site promotion tool. It causes as little traffic as possible for the search engines. Often, it causes even less traffic than the average surfer performing the same task.

  1. ARELIS queries search engine result pages with 100 results at a time if possible. That means that for every query it makes at a search engine, it gets 100 web pages in return.

    That way, ARELIS causes even less traffic than the average Internet user who only sees ten web site results at a time.

  2. ARELIS uses an invisible copy of MS Internet Explorer to query the search engines. It starts at the home page, enters your search term and clicks the Search button just as you do.

    That way, it is impossible for a search engine to find out whether a real person or ARELIS is performing a query. We do this to make sure that ARELIS gets the same results as a human web surfer.

  3. When you use an automated tool, the search engines only know the IP address of your current connection. If you use a dial up connection, the IP address changes on every connection. Search engines cannot trace back which IP address of your Internet connection belongs to which web site (except for the case your desktop computer is your server). If that was possible, everybody could harm its competitors by using automated tools to query for the competitor site again and again. Google stated in the past that no offsite factors can harm your rankings.

In summary, ARELIS causes very little traffic on search engine servers, it cannot be distinguished from a human web surfer and it is not possible to assign a special web site to a surfer's IP address. On top of that, you're free not to use Google with ARELIS.

ARELIS is a search engine friendly web site promotion tool that produces high quality results.

All Axandra products only use ethical search engine optimization methods.



Andy Williams"I truly believe that this tool is essential for any webmaster serious about high rankings in the search engines, especially as incoming links have become more and more important to achieve high ranking."
Andy Williams, EZ-Search-Engine-Optimization.com

"It may be just what you are looking for. [...] If used judiciously and wisely, you can most likely uncover hundreds of non-competitive web sites who will be happy to cross-link to you."
Steven Schneiderman, www.CoolToolAwards.com



Do you offer a link building service?

No, we don't offer link building services. ARELIS is a tool that allows you to run your link building campaign for yourself.

ARELIS is for Windows 98/Me/2000/XP. Do you also offer a version for Apple Macintosh computers?

ARELIS is designed for Windows 98/Me/2000/XP. If you want to run it on a Macintosh computer, you need a windows emulator such as Virtual PC.

What does ARELIS not do?

Of course, there are also things that ARELIS doesn't do. For example, ARELIS does not create link farms and it cannot be used for spamming. ARELIS does not create the same link pages for all sites (it creates individual web pages in your web site design) and ARELIS does not use any shady optimization techniques.

ARELIS uses only ethical search engine methods that won't get your web site banned on search engines. With ARELIS, you'll get high quality long term results for your web site.
