Link exchange market is very huge these days. And find something worthy on this market is not an easy job. On the other hand, it is evident that many aspects of link building can be automated without any loss to quality and it is not wise to lose a chance of using good solution that can save much time, efforts and money on link building. OK, how NOT to get junked
when buying any link exchange tool?
To be ready to choose a professional tool, you must understand what factors to take into account and why these factors are so crucial.
FACTOR 1.
Your link exchange tool (script, software) must automatically build professional, SEO-boosted link exchange directory.
Of course, the value of links is not only in SEO, but losing the chance to get higher in search rankings is the same to wasting huge potential. That is why when link exchange solution is automatically adding relevant content to link pages, is automatically naming URLs of categories with your keywords, is automatically using keywords in meta - the chances for success with this type of pages is much bigger. Search engines love when good links are blended into good, relevant content.
FACTOR 2.
Your link exchange tool must use REAL, viable partner-finding algorithm.
Otherwise you will see all possible junk among your partners. Hint: simple search on keyword in search engines will not help; many sites misrepresent, others don't know how to present their sites. All this will result in sports sites in your investment link exchange directory.
Surely, the relevancy of link partners needs to invent special partner-finding algorithm from the inventors of link exchange solutions, but heck if they are inventors - they will do it. If they cannot - they are cloning the tools that are already outdated and left in the previous century.
FACTOR 3.
Link exchange tool must automate everything possible.
Or you are buried with work. You will hate link exchange, and without doing link exchange on regular basis your competitors will eat you.
It makes me laugh when the vendors are saying that you'll have everything automated and when it comes down to using their tools - you do routine copy&paste, copy&paste, etc. Or when you need to create each category of your link directory manually.
Surely, not everything can be automated. But if you scale it, you will see that with good programming a big part of this job can be automated with no loss to quality. If you buy the tool, it should automate. Otherwise it is better just to buy link building services when other people do this job for you.
Summary.
With these factors you are much more prepared to estimate the quality of link exchange scripts and software. But this is not all.
Last hint: before purchasing any tool, try to find out how exactly the link pages that are created by this tool look.
If you just see a typical pile of links, especially when there are no keywords in URLs of categories/subcategories and not keywords in title, and no automated + unique content - think twice. Perhaps you are looking at the tool of 20th century.
If you see that sites that use this tool look nice and have made some achievements in their niches - chances for you to get the same success are also very high.
Don't lose hope; there are good solutions on the market. And now you know what to look at before buying them. So, you are well-armed.
P.S. You can test this free link exchange tool for quality without paying a cent for it.
