One Way Link Exchanges Make You More Money

Link exchanges are a very important tool in driving traffic to

your site. With proper management of keywords in the anchor

text, your web site will have a higher search engine placement

for those keywords.

We all know the legend of how Bloggers used the keywords

"miserable failure" in the anchor text to link to President

Bush's web site. When you searched for those keywords, the

President's site was at the top of the list.

The power of one-way linking is very evident in this case. But

how would you go about getting one-way links to your site?

It's simpler than you think and it's very effective. I use a

three-step process -- which includes keyword management -- to

obtain one way links. In a nutshell, it involves commenting on

Blogs, Article Marketing and Joint Ventures. This is a

continuous Website marketing plan taking minimal effort.

Keyword Management

I like to use a set of related keyword

phrases instead of just a single phrase. This gives

broader exposure to search engine queries in addition to giving

your site a common theme. In each one of the three steps you

need to rotate to a new set of keywords. Rotate the set about

once a month for all your link campaigns.

The other aspect to Keyword Management is to throttle your

links. Search Engines, especially Google, look at link growth

form. The name field is the anchor text associated with the link...

rate. For example, if too many sites link to your site at once,

Google will think your links are derived from Blog Comment Spam

or a link farm and may de-list your site.

Comment on Blogs

Commenting on Blogs provides a one-way link back to your site.

Google for "blog topic," where "topic" matches your site content

and you will get a list of Blogs that you can comment on. When

you comment on Blog articles, write a short observation like "I

agree with you, but have you considered...?"

If you're bold, use the keywords you are trying to rank higher

for or use your site name for the name field in the comment

form. The name field is the anchor text associated with the link

back to your site. In both cases, provide an honest opinion so

that the Blog owner will not filter out your comment as Spam.

Write Articles

Writing articles about a favorite subject will help you

two-fold. Number one, you can add a resource link back to your

site giving you a one-way-link and second, the article is a

marketing tool which will help you consummate the sale you are

trying to market to the end user.

Rotate your anchor text in your article then submit them to

different article directories for republication. Another benefit

of changing your article slightly is that you will know which

article houses will give you broader distribution exposure.

Joint Ventures

I rarely participate in link exchanges. It really takes up too

much of my time to get into "if you link to me I'll link to you"

type of link management. However, I do offer anyone linking to

my sites a joint venture opportunity.

If I'm promoting products sold on Clickbank, I will pass on the

linker's Clickbank Id onto the publishers so that the linker

will get credit for the sale. I really don't mind helping out

someone who is willing help promote my sites.

An example of a one-way link exchange Joint Venture can be found

at http://www.fizzieboo

ks.com/affiliates. By linking to this site, your

Clickbank Id is passed on to the wholesaler. Also, take note

that the anchor text is randomly rotated for maximum keyword

exposure.

Ultimately, you are trying to build a network of traffic that

will bring people to your site. With one-way link exchanges, via

the use of articles, Blogs, and Joint Ventures, you building a

network that will drive traffic to your site.
