I am getting annoyed by all these emails asking for links exchange, but 'because link exchange does not work anymore, we offer three way links'.
If you have a site that is complementary to mine, or can bring something to my visitors, I happily exchange links with you, or even do a 1 way link to you (I already do).
But don't bother me if:
1. you think that link exchange between relevant site is dead;
2. you believe that search engines are stupid enough to be gamed by 3 way links;
3. you can't realise that my site is about widgets and yours is totally different so our visitors would not gain anything by us linking to each other;
4. want me to link to you from my 'quality' site while you link to me from a directory full of 'cr*p'
;)
I just got the same email and thought I might try it with a brain dead site that's received no love from me for a long, long time. I just don't want to commit to a complete waste of time if there's a body of SEO expert opinion that the tool will produce grief.
Pretty obvious really.
I hate these type of desperate link hunters - it just wastes everyone's time. Nothing to gain from it.
What if both parties have 2 sites. You could do the links so that there is no connection. I link to somebodies site they link back to me from another site to another site of mine.
Yeah, I think that's the way it's supposed to work. I went ahead and signed up for the thing figuring I have nothing to lose with a dead site. What's happened is that my new resources page is filling up with theme related and on-topic links (financial area), FWIW. Not a single Viagra, diet pill or similar link, so far.
So, we'll see if any benefit comes from this. Is my hat now gray or black?
why would I give you a website link in exchange for a directory link? I can get that for free.
Because they control that directory. The directory is created for facilitating three way link exchanges. You won't receive a link from that particular directory otherwise.
