Hello everyone.
I was wondering if anybody would be interested in link exchange? Whoever has a website and would like to exchange links let me know.

Link exchanges do not work. Ever. Unless your website and their website have common keywords, content, and a good Page Rank.

Google's been stepping up on this kind of thing. You might need to extend it to 9 or 10 people.

CrescentFunds you said they never work, then said exchange links with 9-10 people, which one is honestly right? :) You mentioned unless they have common keywords, surely that wouldn't be totally untrue as we are all promoting the same thing at the end of the day :) I have to look in to Migueliscool advice on complex link exchange aswell.
Should I stop at this or should I keep on asking members if they would be up for a link exchange?
Thanks

Actually it's true, a simple link exchange never works (especially if you're linking to a gaming referral website while your own website is in cosmetics). You would need to gather people together who have websites that have several keywords and a lot more in common for your links to actually mean something. So I was trying to say that your concept of a link exchange would probably not work because you're not going to be promoting the same rewards as someone else necessarily.

Also, you're thinking of a simple link exchange. A complex link exchange works like this:

4 members.

Member 1 links to member 2
member 2 links to member 3
member 3 links to member 4
member 4 links to member 1

a circle of linked sites with no reciprocal links would possibly work, but you'd need a good number of people involved, and they would still have to fit the similar keyword and content criteria.

This is ok

I was thinking more along the lines of this.

Member 1 links to member 2
Member 2 links to member 4
Member 3 links to member 1
Member 4 links to member 3

It would look kinda like this.



And also make sure whoever you link to is actually indexed in google.

Ok, thank you very much guys. You have been a lot of help. All I need to do now is get to know members a bit better :) Can't just go throwing ideas at them :D
