Its always better to give than to receive
I no longer recommend webmasters to run link exchange programs as the benefit doesn’t outweigh the time and effort to find quality link partners, the effort required to maintain the links, and the potential negative effects of linking to web sites for the wrong reasons. The best way to get quality links to your web site is the old fashion, tried and true methods. Unfortunately, this makes them the most difficult. But like the older generations always say, hard work pays off.
- Have quality content on your web site. If there is something there worth linking, web sites will link to it.
- Give and you will receive. Link to other web sites related to your web site’s topic that you think would be beneficial to your users. Not only do quality outbound links related to your web sites topic have a positive, upwards effect on your serp, but assuming your web site meets the first qualification, webmasters may even link back.
