How To Create a Good Links Directory

By anil vij

The basic idea is to increase traffic to a new or an existing site. Adding links require your site to look appealing to other link owners. I always ensure that my sites get a crisp and welcoming look before taking on the task of link building. Easy maneuverability through the site makes it appear user friendly. One of my best kept secrets is placing the "add your link" tag in a prominent position. After all, the purpose of the whole exercise is to make people accept you as a link partner and your dress code do count a lot.

Will you be comfortable in paying for a link display? It is always a good idea to think from the other person's side. I never demand a fee for displaying links in my sites. The direct purpose of link exchange itself is not revenue generation. Therefore, going for free link exchanges is the best way to attract people to your directory.

You should maintain a hassle free method for others to submit their links with you. Since this is a redundant process, an automated system will naturally make visitors find the time to partner with you. I always insist on keeping the procedure way too easy. Asking for only the bare minimum information and avoiding email verifications are all simple tricks that save time.

The time factor for a link to appear is very important. No body would want to waste their time waiting. To introduce a simple process for the administrator to visit, add or delete a link shall end a lot of frustration. Fuzz free features are the way it should always go. Adding an automated email response system for every link inquiry is a bonus and says volumes for your good will. It will also make your clients feel that they are dealing with a sincere service provider. An instant answer to their query or even a simple welcome message will make all a big difference.

Summarizing the above in their chronological order will make this easy to enact.

1. Give a dashing and appealing look to your website
2. Place the "add your link" button prominently.
3. Make the link display service a freebie.
4. Keep the whole process hassle free. Automation is the key to this.
5. Ensure that a new link appears within a day of submission.
6. Systematic follow up

The purpose of the whole exercise is to increase your search engine ranking and thus make your site pop up on top of the results for a particular set of key words. A free link exchange also has the following added advantages:-

1. Saves a lot of time compared to manual link exchanges.

2. It boosts the number of visitors to your site in a very short time

3. It enhances the popularity of your site with search engines.

4. The sheer volume of exchanges makes this leagues ahead of a manual exchange program.

5. Your server is freed from the tasks of operating automated tools.

6. This is a guaranteed job. If your link partner fails to display your own link, they will be deleted from the whole works.

7. The value of your payment is guaranteed as you need pay only after having attained results.
