Drive Traffic With Link Exchanges

Drive Traffic With Link Exchanges

For those of us who are in the business of making money online, we understand that traffic is truly the lifeblood of your online business. Nothing happens without traffic. So this post is about driving traffic using link exchanges and directories, something that I learned from Rob Benwell’s Blogging To The Bank 3.0.


Rob Benwell recommends LinkMetro as the link exchange site of choice but sadly that’s been closed to new members and it has received much flak from the community. Some good alternative link exchanges can be found within this discussion at DigitalPoint. However, use link exchanges with caution. On the other hand, link directories are relatively safer as it is much more controlled by the owners of the directories.

How Link Exchange & Directories Works?

A link exchange has many members wanting to exchange links and it makes it really easy to exchange links. Normally, you just find a site you want to link to and place some code they give you on your blog or website. Thereafter, the other site is notified and asked to link back.

A similar strategy is to use market or industry link directories where you can get listed if you provide a link back to them. Brad Callen has an excellent software for directory submissions.

As with everything else, use link exchanges and directory submissions with caution and moderation to drive traffic. Also do check out Rob Benwell’s Blogging To The Bank 3.0 which has solid content on driving and monetizing blogs.

As always comments and feedback are more than welcome. And do check out my review for Blogging To The Bank 3.0.
