SiteSell Value Exchange for SEO
By kl2000
The amount of inbound high quality relevant links from websites increases your ranking and brings more targeted website traffic. Search Engines use links to help decide how relevant your site is for your site's most important keywords. The more relevant and higher in value the link is, the better you'll rank and more traffic you'll receive.
SiteSell's Value Exchange is a unique service for exchanging and building connections between high quality, related sites.
1. Signup for a new account via SiteSell's Value Exchange
2. Complete the form and pay special attention the the "Your Site's Keywords" and "Description of Your Site" sections.
- The keywords will be used to match your site up with other relevant sites.
- Description will be used to help potential link exchange sites better identify your site.
3. Once you've completed the signup SiteSell will email you with the latest installment of matches.
4. Review all of your new matches one at a time.
- First review the site and make sure that it does not compete with yours. For example, if you ran a logo design company and a potential match is another competing logo design company. It may be in your best interest to say no.
- Review each site and make sure they are of high quality and not spammy. Do they provide high quality content?
- Last but not least, check the site in Alexa.com and make sure they have a good rank. Look for sites that rank closely to yours or better.
5. In the "Send Email?" dropdown for each site select either "Yes" or "No".
6. Click the "Click Here to Perform Selected Actions" button and the system will fire off a link exchange request email to all sites that were selected "Yes".
7. Sit back and wait. Eventually you should get some email replies back from the site owners.
8. Work with the site owner to exchange links
- Add their link somewhere prominently on your site. For example in the footer of glowingskinforyou.com we have a "Friendly Links" section.
- Once you've added their link email them back with the details and request for your new back link.
- Make sure to use a descriptive title and use alternative text or alt tags within your link
- Here's an example link to send: <a href="http://www.glowingskinforyou.com" title="Your Resource for Anti Aging, Skin Care, Beauty Tips, Healthy Living, Products & Reviews" target="_blank">GlowingSkinForYou.com</a> - Your Resource for Anti Aging, Skin Care, Beauty Tips, Healthy Living, Products & Reviews
- This is how the above link would appear on their site: GlowingSkinForYou.com - Your Resource for Anti Aging, Skin Care, Beauty Tips, Healthy Living, Products & Reviews
9. Remember the more relevant and higher in value the link is, the better you'll rank and more traffic you'll receive. Build back links with high quality authority sites.
