Default SE Traffic - The Newest Fad

PR Brokers

I’ve found that lately, I’ve been spending more and more time doing link exchanges with other webmasters to generate SE traffic. A lot of people dismiss these of being of any value, but I disagree – *if they are done properly* - link trades can be very beneficial.

One of the big problems is that most requests for link trades start out something like this:

“You link my PR4 site from your PR4 sites…” – blah, blah, blah…just PR for PR straight back and forth – THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO DO IT! Problem is 95% of link exchanges are in this format.

Let me post this to try and shed some light on what is probably a better way to do these things:

1. Aiming my PR4 site at your PR4 site will have some benefit right now - as far as spidering goes. Trading is way better than aiming YOUR PR4 SITE site at YOUR PR4 SITE (crosslinking) – seeing as the links will at least be coming from different class c blocks. However, as time goes on, Google will become more sensitive to spotting patterns that are obvious attempts at PR manipulation.

2. And, as time goes on, the devaluing of irrelevant / off topic links will become more sensitive and the penalty more severe.

Most experienced adult webmasters have at least 5 domain up to ??? # domains – I personally have almost 100 domains now.

This is how I’d rather be doing these trades:

1. Relevant links only.

2. Stop nitpicking over PR so much, within reason. I mean, don’t give out 5 points of PR for none back – but if a trade goes one point or another in a direction – let it slide! Relevancy counts more, than jacking the little bar up – REALLY.

3. No more just aiming my site at your site – structure a trade more like this:

My relevant site A links your relevant site B > Your relevant Site B links My relevant site C then (if you are doing more)
Your relevant site C links my relevant site D > My relevant Site D links your relevant site E and so on and so on…
too mathematical that can be found and devalued by Google easily, but it’s way better than just linking A to A, B to B, C to C…you could hire a monkey could spot those patterns!

Also, if you are one of those dickheads that requests that I link every one of my sites to your TGP and you will link every one of my site from it (which is a STUPID IDEA ANYWAY) remember this – a TGP already has 100+ links out on the page already, meaning the value passed on to me will be very little.

It’s a simple equation:
Your PR / # of links on your page = the pr passed on to me.

Ok – I could write this post even fucking longer, but I won’t. I want to show what insipid this post. Not that I would ever recommend and one leave this board to look at GFY – here is a perfect example of what happens when you let a bunch on monkeys loose with a list of your sites:

Let me know what you think.

Like you said, relevant links. Very important for people to understand this. You can link to 100's of sites, but if they are not relevant to your site, you are seriously wasting your time.
