new to link dev

looking for pointers

[OddDog]

ok hi all i am new to this area of webmasterworld.

i have been lurking for a while now and have some questions comments ;

1. i get the impression that the expoerts are all anti programs to facilite this job.

is this correct?

2. it does seem like a very time consumming thing to do to do this manually.

ok i understand that once you have you own system perfected things go smoother but still seems like a load of time to me ..

3. doing a basic search for link exchange i see loads of sites asking exchange links but seem to be sort of directories, wont these get busted by the SE,s?

4. anyone have experience asking for link exchange in spain, because i get the impression that here they are going to be very very suspicions, and will ignore the peticion.

Are you looking to link up with Spanish sites or Spanish-related sites?
I have just started a link campaign for selling products in Spain. I don;t speak Spanish and so haven't approached any Spanish sites but there are plenty of other sites that are Spain-related that will freely link.

Just a reminder, from the Link Development charter [webmasterworld.com], "It does not cover the actual exchange of links. This is not a forum to trade or ask for links with people or to use WebmasterWorld's Stickymail to illicit link partners. Posts of that nature will be removed without reference."
