Reciprocal links

October 20, 2006

The reciprocal links are a vital share of the efforts of promotion of a site. You have (complete paperboards) of contents, you propose an innovative service or single products, you miss only the public.

Internet is worth only by the number of its links, since without these links, it is anything else only one series of not sorted pages. Referencing is only the first stage to make known your site, it is the choke of your traffic. However it would be illusory to believe that a simple inscription in the engines will be the pricipale source of your visitors. In order to ensure the visibility of your site and to help Internet to be what it is, it is necessary that other sites point towards yours.

This last point is all the more important as more and more the engines call upon the index of popularity to classify the sites. Result: the more you have links towards your pages, the more you are at the head likely to be search engines. To have an idea of the number of sites pointing towards yours, you can use a tool like that on http://marketing-internet.com/services/popularite.html

The principle of exchange of links is very simple, however there are several approaches possible as well as shelves to be avoided. This article proposes to make it tower of the question.

What is what a reciprocal link? It is about a link, text or stringcourse, towards a another site, which itself comprises on one of its pages a link towards your site. It is a way for the persons in charge for the two sites for saying “we think that our sites are complementary and we are ready to have people going from the one with the other since that will answer their waitings”.

This concept implies a share of confidence. Few webmasters has serviceable time to check that the links are quite present on the sites partners and they thus make confidence with the partner not to remove the link without preventing them or not drowning their name under tens of others, situation all the more irritating if your own site is in order.

The reciprocal links are not the miraculous formula to have traffic. Certain sites until more than 50 or 100 links (stringcourses or texts) on the same page, which quantity of traffic do you hope of such a situation have? Even notices if the page speaking about you is a tumble of banners, links in form text, not sorted, the or not updated majority broken. Nobody profits from such an action.

With which sites to exchange links? It would be an error to establish links without sorting. Choose sites in agreement with the topic of your site and you will asssurerez a good level of interest on behalf of your visitors.

With the recent evolution of Internet and the explosion of the number of sites, it is not necessary any more to make partnerships with all the possible sites. The secrecy is in focusing. To will good to think of it, how much people follow a link on the culture of carrots since your treating site of the political stories lasting the Large War?

Which type of sites choose: complementary or equivalent?

If your site is commercial, it would be dangerous to establish links towards your competitors. If you propose formations touching with the field of Internet, do not establish links towards a site proposing the same services. On the other hand, made a link towards sites proposing of general trainings to data processing or the suppliers of access.

However and malgrés the preceding point, sometimes it perhaps interesting for you to propose links towards the sites of your competitors. For example, you seldom buy objects of great value without studying the various alternatives before. While thus proposing to visit the sites of your competitors, in the facts you stimulate your visitors and simplify the task to them. Since we speak here about reciprocal links, it will be easy for your prospective customer to once return towards you his decision taken and moreover you will profit from the traffic of the other site. Also think that if you offer this type of service, your visitors will perceive you like the entrance point of their later requests on the same subject. Approximately you will have become a gate.

The complementarity is your asset-Master: these links déémultiplient the value of your site by giving access to information which you could not have on your site, like more pushed information or slightly out of your target. For example Marketing Internet is related to the site E-Quality (http://www.e-qualite.com), probably the only place devoted to the problems of quality on line. It would be impossible for us to develop such such pointed resources, fault of time and the competences pushed in this field.

Try to find symbioses: if you distribute countable software, establish links with sites proposing of information on accountancy or covering the legal aspect of the thing or by making a partnership with a site speaking about the corporation tax.

A forthcoming article on this field will explain you the strategy to be followed to establish profitable and interesting links.
