Linking Tips

At Smookey.com, we have recently launched our Linking Campaign and are aggressively gathering and exchanging links. We project that our linking directory pages will have a PR 5 or 6 very shortly. By exchanging links with us now, you will directly benefit from all additional PR increases to our website, so sign up today!

If you want to see some real results from your linking efforts, here are three tips that will give you a huge jump start in link exchanging.

1) Add the following 3 links to every page in your website: Link to us, Resources, and Partners. The reason you need to add all three links to every page is because by doing this, you will help boost the PR for your link pages and you will also attract more linking partners. The "Link to us" link needs to point to your link signup page. The "Resources" link needs to point to your main links directory, and the "Partners" link needs to point to a new page that you need to create for preferred site link exchanging (this page needs to be located in your main directory). All "Partners" links should be manually added to this new page.

2) Add a title tag, a Meta tag description and a Meta tag keyword section to every page of your link directory. This tells the search engines that you know what you are doing and it gives them content for search engine placement, while keeping your web pages consistent. If you don't have an automated link directory, then you need to get one. Two of the best link directory programs on the market are Reciprocal Manager and Link Machine.

3) Take a few minutes and add a template to your links pages so they match your website. This shows potential link partners that you care about link exchanging and you know what you are doing. This is typically very easy do to and it will go a long way to recruiting link partners. Also, make sure that you have a well rounded number of linking categories and try to keep them all within 1-2 levels deep, otherwise they won't have any page rank. (1 level deep is optimal but you may have sub-categories which usually mean a second level).

By taking some time to complete the three steps above, your link pages will have higher PR, pass more PR though to the sub-category pages, you will receive more link exchange offers, and your main website will rank higher in the search engines faster.
