Reciprocal links helps you in two ways:

1. They increase your web site traffic, from people who click on the links. They also play an important role in boosting your rankings in search engines. When ranking sites, most -if -not all- major search engines take into account the number and quality of the sites that link to you. So getting good, solid reciprocal links is usually a major part of any web marketing strategy.


2. Persuading good quality, relevant sites to link to you can be tedious, time-consuming and frustrating. Here are some tips to increase your chances of success. One way to find link partners is to do searches in major search engines such as Google and Yahoo. Then send an e-mail to the webmaster asking them to trade links with you. Many sites also link to direct competitors, figuring that the benefits outweigh any disadvantages.

Q. What is Google's "PageRank" exactly?

A. From Google themselves: 'PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important."

Q. How long does it take for the search engines to find my new links after I sign up?

A. This depends on the search engines. Search Engines crawl and index pages at regular intervals. They visit popular and regularly updated sites more often than those sites that are not. They also update their index and result pages about once a month. Once the update happens, newly indexed pages are ranked and added to the Search Engine's database. At this time, you will get "credit" for having more links to your site. In our experience, you will see your site move up in ranking gradually over time as the Search Engine's continue to find, index and rank member pages which contain your link. A good rule of thumb for link campaigns is to watch for movement in your site's ranking after the end of the first full month you have signed up with Link 2 Me. In the coming months, you should see more movement as more and more member's link pages are crawled and indexed.
