New Way of Getting Link Partners.

Shortcut to your link partners.

Many people lost hope in link exchange because they tried to gather partners by sending them begging link exchange emails. I am convinced that you tried the old way.

Old Way.

Usually it goes this way. You put keyword into search line of Google, get amazed with the number of sites it found for you, then you click all that sites, pick emails and send messages saying your site is good, and they are in the same niche, that is why exchanging links can bring advantages to both of you, yada-yada-yada.

I oversimplified the email. Some of the emails I got were really good and grabbed my attention for a few seconds. But you know, being frank, 90% of these emails go directly to the trash bin. If you manage to get over 10% level with this type of email begging - you are very successful. So many efforts and such lousy conversions! Who knows how much people out of those 10% who opened your link exchange email will exchange links with you. With these results no wonder people lose any hope for link building.

The problem is not link exchange. The problem is crazy high competition on this market and one and the same overspammed procedure that most of the people do to gather link partners. Get into the shoes of site owner who runs 5 reputable sites (5 isn't much, good taxi driver can afford having much more). So, you have 5 web sites, and every day you get 10-50 emails for each site saying, "Hello, my site is in your niche, etc." At first, you review each email, check if the site is relevant, fuss with all that manual work. After a week, you feel like being torn to pieces with your 5 sites. In two weeks you look at the emails with very tired eyes, and sometimes delete even good sites. And don't forget that a big volume of emails you get have irrelevant sites.

So, you see, this is not about you. This is about the whole procedure. Those who have several sites just cannot handle all this traditional routine. And statistically a person with one successful site, makes another; so if you will be heading for link exchange with reputable sites, most probably you are contacting a person who controls a lot more than 5 sites. Imagine how much begging link exchange email this person is getting daily!!

Your chances to get 'yes' and exchange links are falling down like the water from Niagara.

New Way.

I offer you to shift the concept. Don't use these begging emails; they stink. With advanced partner-finding algorithm you can go to the sacred fields where the sites are super motivated for link exchange.

No miracles or magic pills. Just ask yourself a question "How can I know that the site is motivated for link exchange and is very apt to make link exchange almost instantly?" Well, if the site is running good link exchange directory, and if the site is offering people an option to automate this process - you are heading the right way.

You don't even imagine how many web sites in almost all imaginable niches are using automated solutions that welcome relevant sites-partners for link exchange. But only relevant sites, because those who make the junk approach and try to spam sites in all niches will suffer sad consequences of this ill-minded tactics.

However, if you care about relevancy, the results can sound really fantastic. Imagine seeing some of the partners exchanging links with you almost instantly, in a matter of 15-20 minutes! Others take longer time, but again, this is about hours, some will take days. But the conversions are 50-60% from the contacted sites. With some niches I was reaching up to 80% conversions.

Plus the sites are not only relevant; you are exchanging links with web sites that are nicely fitting into the picture of search engines, and most of them have Google PR from 3 to 7; surely it's not only about PR, but would you disagree to have relevant sites-partners with nice PR?

Still, this strategy has two drawbacks. First of all, you need to find the searching algorithm that will pick you sites with automated link building solutions and will put aside the irrelevant sites.

Another problem is that you will need to do much manual work: copy, paste, check if your links are still there, put all RSS feeds and submit them every time new link is added, etc.

This is where I proudly can say that all this, and much more got automated in a very smart tool - Free Auto Link Exchanger. I will not waste your time on promo and features, just want to say that everything that could be automated was automated, and now you know the name of this tool.

Why is this new way link building an alternative?

Because this strategy gives new chance to all those who have just built their sites. I know that if your site has good content and gives real value to the visitors, sooner or later people will hear about your site and will link to it.

But do you know how much time it might take? You will be jumping out of pants with article and press release marketing; you will be spreading buzz on niche forums, submitting to directories. And only then, with time, you will see effect from it. If you are not a famous Internet marketer with big list of users or if you don't have passionate JVers who will spread the rumor about your site round the globe - you can wait for months before others will stand in line to link to your site.

Are you ready to wait? :(

With the strategy I described you just get a shortcut to relevant sites that are waiting to get good link partner. All things about relevancy of partners and good content on your site remain crucial and important. But what is different is that you get directly to the directories without shameful begging. They do not get your email asking for link exchange, they already see your site pending in their line. All they need is approve. And if you pick relevant sites, most of them will approve. I was not kidding when mentioned 80% conversions.

This can be done both manually and automatically - it doesn't matter. The most important is that now you know where exactly to search for the secret gardens. And if you pick keywords wisely, very soon you will see the fruits. I was helping one owner of turnkey sites, and when in a matter of days she saw her standard turnkey site on 2nd page in MSN for 'one celebrity name hot photo', that was a nice surprise.

It works. But don't think of it as of some magic pill. This will ruin everything. You WILL need to build a site with real content; you WILL need to work on your site and give your site visitors quality experience.
