Re: Are Reciprocal Links Dead?
I have to agree. Trading links with everyone just to improve page rank is over. Links need to go back to there orginal purpose of proving complementary information or help browse find the information they are seeking.
I have started a little experiment of my own with respect of directing visitor toward the information they are seeking. I receive traffic from areas that I do not support. I would like to direct this traffic to realtors that do support those areas. To do this I have set up rotating ad banners on my site. Per Google guildlines these only pass traffic. In return for the banner, I am asking for a regular link back to my site. In effect, this is a traffic for SEO juice trade.
I have this going already for a site in California. They are receiving 5 to 8 visitors a day via the banner (this is per my banner traffic program). I am looking for others that are willing to try this out and provide feedback (both good and bad). Untill the concept is proving I am limiting the number to 10 or 15 sites. If it works out, I may expand the offer.
If anyone has any comments please let me know.
