How to Get Your Web Site Ranked High in Search Engines with Free Link Exchanges by Barry Stein



Free link exchanges got my web site to the first page of Google
and free link exchanges can do the same for your web site.

A couple of weeks ago one of my web sites,
http://www.BarrysBeanies, was ranked number 33 on Google for
one of my most important keyword phrases "Beanie Babies."

I was determined to get my web site on the first page on Google
searches for the keyword phrase "Beanie Babies."

About that time I had received a newsletter from Sean Burns,
search engine expert and the author of Rankings Revealed - How
to Get Your Site to the Top of Search Engines. The information
provided was just what I needed to get back on the first page of
Google for the keyword phrase "Beanie Babies."

I learned from Sean that there are basically two options to get
a high rank on Google for your web site keyword phrases.

Option #1
Do free link exchanges with other web sites that have the same
theme as your web site. You can target any keyword phrase you
want to improve your rank with. This is importantthe title text
link you exchange with other web sites should be the keyword
phrase you want to target.

What I also like about the free link exchanges is that you can
target one web page for many different keyword phrases. So once
you get the rank you want for one keyword phrase then you choose
another keyword phrase to target and use this new keyword phrase
in the title text link that you now exchange with other web
sites.

It is also important to try and do all your free link exchanges
with web sites that have a high Google Page Rank (PR). Go for
link exchanges with sites with a PR3 or higher. Web sites with a
higher Page Rank are viewed by Google as being more important
and links to your web site from these high PR sites will help
you more than doing link exchanges with a site with a PR1 or PR2.

You can download the free Google Toolbar at
http:/ oolbar.google.com/, which will display all the Page
Ranks of the web pages you visit.

Also, if you go into the Google directory,
http://directory.google.com/, and locate the category of the
sites you want to do your free link exchanges with, the web
sites will be listed with the highest Page Ranks at the top.
Most of the sites near the top of the list will be PR5 or PR6.
These are the web sites that you will want to start doing your
free link exchanges with.

Here is a copy of the e-mail I send to other web site owners to
request free link exchanges with.

Hi,

I wanted to see if you'd do a free link exchange with me.

Many of the top search engines use reciprocal linking to rank
your web pages. In order to have high ranking web pages you need
links back to your web site.

Here is my information:

Title: Beanie Babies
Description: You'll find over 500 different styles of Beanie
Babies at BarrysBeanies.com. Many at up to 59% off retail. We
also wholesale Ty Beanie Babies.
URL: http://www.BarrysBeanies.com

Please send e-mail to BarrysBeanies@aol.com after you place
my link on your web site with the URL address of where it
is located along with the information for your listing on my
web site.

Your information:
Title:
Description:
URL:

Once I receive your information I will place it on my Links
Page and I'll e-mail the URL address where you'll be able
to view your link.

Thanks,

Option #2
Optimize your web pages for keyword phrases. You'll want to
target one keyword phrase per web page. If you have great
content and have targeted a keyword phrase then eventually
Google will index your web page and rank it higher.

You should really use both these options, but of the two I like
the free link exchanges best because I can quickly see the
progress I'm making.

Do free link exchanges work?

Well, as I stated above, my web site www.BarrysBeanies.com
was ranked number 33 for my most important keyword phrase,
"Beanie Babies."

I then started doing free link exchanges. Prior to that time I
only had about 10 link exchanges on my web site with other
web sites. Now I have about 100 links and my rank on Google
for "Beanie Babies" is number 5.

So free link exchanges do work!

Searchengine ranking is one of the most important parts to
your overall Internet success if you have a web site. In fact,
it may be the most important thing you can learn how to do in
order to have a successful Internet business.
