Good old fashioned link trades?
How many of you still do good old fashioned link exchanges when you go out and find a site that might compliment your own and email the webmaster trade links? It seems like most are automated systems now that push traffic around but I have found this sort of traffic to valuable in the micro-niches that I do. Of course there are LL's like Greenguy but I am talking in addition to those obvious traffic sources.
It is strange but for some reason I actually enjoy this bit of my routine. It is nice to see what other sites are out there in my niches. |

I'm trying to get links going on my site but not having a lot of luck, if nothing else it will help with spiders.

Many webmasters still trade hard links. All the time. Index pages, catagory pages, submit, ect.

I think that the old tradition of emailing the webmaster has been replaced by posting & replying on boards.

Yup, that's why I stopped emailing and started posting on boards...response rate to emails was too low to bother. I'm always up for trades though...and I've got a lot of niche pages  |

Personally I think the 'board route' is better as you have more of an idea who you're dealing with. I realise that there are of course webmasters/mistresses who are perfectly honest etc. but it sure helps when you trade with a webmaster with X amount of posts on a board you frequent then with one who sends an email out of the blue. All part of the benefits of posting and networking IMHO

Yup I agree, Im always chasing new bdsm links on my hub, and yes niche boards, or GI webmaster boards are always faster than email.

Sarah - thats something Ive done since I started long ago - and found that it is extremely rewarding
In addition to the normal LL trades, I have initiated many link requests to people's sites that I think are not only on-topic, but compliment what I do with a site, as well as putting up many links to others that have asked for reasons ranging from great niche traffic to "damn thats a real nice site" |
