New Website PR 0

pr 0

Any suggestion on what to say when you have a new website and wanted to exchange link. But people don't want to exchange cause you have a PR 0. It seems like it is a catch 22.

Get inbound links without requesting exchanges if need be. Directories (paid and free) don't look at PR but rather site quality. Also, articles will gain you links that also don't really look at your PR. Contacting sites that would genuinely be interested in your content for visitor reasons and not PR reasons is another avenue.

Look for inbounds that will actually drive you traffic and worry less about whether or not someone will bury you on page six of their link exchanges along with 50 others sites just for the sake of gaining PR. Just my two cents anyway.

I've gotten links to a site that's got a PR0 link page that was just put up - PR0. I just explain where it's linked from, that it's new and what the PR will probably be when PR is updated. If you approach it that way it's easier - just getting the first one or two will be harder.

I'll be getting links to a couple of new sites that probably won't have any PR for a few months, and I'm starting with people where there's a common connection. I put the word out and had takers a couple months before anything went on line. It helps a lot if there are people you're acquainted with online to a degree, it's a whole lot different with total strangers.

Once there are some and there is some PR is showing it gets easier - those first few are generally rough. If there are any groups (like email groups) in your industry or connected with your interests, get involved - some of them are great in a number of ways anyway.

There are some directories to submit to that make it easier to get a start - with minimal cost to submit. I really do *not* like doing "linking work" - directory submission is the easiest, least painful way.

You should be able to pick up plenty of directory links. Also, many people seem to be happy to trade links with a new site which is PR0. All sites have to start somewhere.

Thanks all for the advices and comments

You are partially right - PR0 is only one of the major factor, but not an overall cause, so what you need is to learn to differentiate yourself out of the crowd!

One thing to bear in mind there are plenty of PR0 sites out there hunting and vulturing for links! Many webmasters with good link pages often run into a problem of being flooded with link requests, thus might not have sufficient time or energy to look into your site closely.

What you need is uniqueness - your site must be neat, link pages also neat, link request also neat and unique.

If I were to have brand new PR0 site to request links, I will also add the date of domain registered, number of pages already in G index, no. of links that I intend to keep per page, and also no. of clicks from homepage.

Also if I were so desperate in getting links, I would select the first 30-50 potential link partners (strategical ones) and make a phone call to ask for links.
