Part
13 - Time to work – Start building your link popularity - Search for the right
partners
Introduction
This article makes part of a series of 20 articles. The subject of this series is the creation and promotion of a
website as a cost-effective method to establish a profitable home based business
on the Internet.
In my previous article, “Achieving financial freedom with Network Marketing on
The Internet – Part 12 – Start building your link popularity – Your tools”,
I have presented and analyzed the tools that you will have to use while building
your link popularity.
In this article I will present you the method to find the right websites to
exchange links with.
Search for the right partners
Here start the second phase of your work. You begin
to build your link popularity.
Let us assume that the theme of your website is “home
based business” and the keyword of your home page is “home based
business opportunity”.
The best way to start is to go to Google’s Search
Box and insert your keyword, “home based business opportunity”. Google will
present you with its listing. Each page of the listing contains 10 results, 10
web pages. You will go to page No 10 and will start from the last website listed
in it. You will visit this website, take a note of its URL, its Pagerank and its
theme and you will examine if there is a page regarding exchanging links. If
there is such a page, you will search for the reciprocal links procedure this
website utilizes, if any. Then you will open your web page where you place the
links about “home based business opportunities” or “home based business
resources” and you will insert a link to the homepage of this website. You
will use the URL, description and linking text that its webmaster indicates in
his relative page. You will save the changes to your web page and upload it to
your website on the Internet. Then you will communicate with this webmaster
using the procedure he indicates (by email or by form). If he incorporates a
form for you to insert the linking information of your home page, then you will
use this form and insert there the URL of your home page, the title (linking
text) and the description of it. If he desires to receive an email from you,
then you will send an email with your name, the domain name of your website and
the phrase “Reciprocal Link Exchange Request” as its subject. As content I
suggest you use the text below, unless otherwise it is requested by that
webmaster:
------------------------ Content of the reciprocal
link request --------------------------
Greetings:
My name is Tasos Vasilopoulos from
http://www.netincome.gr
I recently visited your site and wondered whether you might be interested
in exchanging a reciprocal link with my site.
I have already placed a link to your website in my
links page at:
http://www.netincome.gr/links-home-business-opportunities.htm
If interested, please respond with a reciprocal
link to my website.
Here is my linking information:
Linking Text: "Home Based Business Opportunity
on the Internet."
Website URL:
http://www.netincome.gr
Description: "Build a profitable
business completely on the Internet from the comfort of your own home office -
Earn income globally, 24 hours a day!"
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Tasos Vasilopoulos

If you cannot find a page regarding the link
exchange procedure, then maybe this webmaster does not accept requests for
reciprocal links. Maybe he is promoting his website otherwise, by purchasing
links for example. Or he may have other websites that link to this website, but
these links are not reciprocated. In that case, observe if he has links in his
home page under a section named “partners” or “link partners” or “cooperators”.
Then, visit one of these websites listed in this section and observe if it also
has a section of this kind in its home page. Then probably this webmaster
exchanges only “front page reciprocal links”, an advanced method of link
exchange that we will discuss in the next article.
You may need half an hour or even more to find out
how to request a reciprocal link, set it up in your pages and send the email.
Prepare to receive answers from half of the
websites you requested a link exchange.
You will send them the same email one week after
and then another one after another week. If they do not answer, you will
communicate with them after a month. Be patient, be persistent. They will
answer.
Remember always to be polite. Many webmasters are
not professionals and make changes to their websites once a week or even every
15 days. Other webmasters receive many link exchange requests and need time to
respond. Have patience. Keep a note about the status of each exchange request
and move on.
Here is an example of a second request for a
reciprocal link:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear webmaster,
I emailed you (or completed your link exchange
form) a week ago after following your link exchange instructions on your
website:
http://www.free-work-at-home-job.com
(write the name of his website here)
As yet, I have not heard from you and I noticed
that you have not yet linked back to my site. I appreciate that you must
be busy, but I would be very grateful if you could add my link to your site.
I have already linked to your site at:
http://www.netincome.gr/links.htm
I also have provided below all the information you
need to be included in your links directory.
Linking Text: "Home Based Business Opportunity
on the Internet."
Website URL:
http://www.netincome.gr
Description: "Build a profitable
business completely on the Internet from the comfort of your own home office -
Earn income globally, 24 hours a day!"
I will be waiting for your answer.
Thank you
Tasos Vasilopoulos

This way you will keep requesting link exchanges
with every website from the 10th page of the listing of Google until the 4th
page. There you will stop.
And you will do the same for the listing of Google
for the keyword “home based business resource”. The same you will do with
“home based business opportunities” and “home based business resources”.
They are more than 200 links to request and you will need more than 150 hours of
work. If you work 3 hours a day, you will need 50 days, or about 2 months. Which
is exactly the time needed by Google to find and rank your website from the
reciprocal links.
At this point your web site will be ranked from
Google and each one of your pages will receive a Pagerank. If you have worked
hard, then your home page will also appear in the listing of the Search Engines.
They usually need 2-3 months to find and examine a new website.
Now you are ready to reach the websites in the
first 3 pages for the keywords previously mentioned. Nicely and manually request
a reciprocal link exchange from each one of them. They will notice the LP of
your website and your Pagerank and they will respond to your request. These
reciprocal links will help your website to climb to the top for your keyword
faster.
Also, since your website will appear in the
listings of the Search Engines, you will start receiving requests for reciprocal
link exchanging from other websites. Examine the Page Rank, theme and content of
each one. If the page where these webmaster offer to put your link has a Page
Rank, has less than 50-60 other links and the theme of the website is similar to
your website, then accept his proposal and reciprocate the link. Otherwise, if
the page where he intends to put your link does not have a Page Rank or has many
links, examine his website and see if you can find a better web page in it. Then
propose to him to move your link to that webpage if he wants you to reciprocate
his link. If this is not possible, then send him an answer indicating politely
the reasons that you do not want to exchange links with him for the time being.
Suggest him, politely again, to communicate with you again in the future, in
case there are changes in the structure of his website and he can offer you a
better deal.
Time to work – Become persistent – Never stop
building your link popularity
There is one little secret with link popularity:
You can only build it step by step and you must never stop working with it. Do
not rush. Dedicate a little time to explore each website and find the right web
pages to link with or the correct link exchange procedure to follow. You may
start from a request to a regular link exchange. Or you may ask for a FPLE. Or
you can even request an exchange between a web page of this website, other than
the home page, and one of your equally important web pages (I call this Second
Page Link Exchange – SPLE).
I suggest that you keep record to each website you link with. Write down the
name and email address of the webmaster, store the emails you have exchanged,
write the URL of the web page where the link to your web page was placed and the
rank of this web page and the home page of this website. Finally note the type
of the link, regular, FPLE or SPLE.
Spend an hour every day to request two new links
and process the link exchange request you have received from other websites. And
never, never stop building your link popularity. Your target must be the top,
the first position of the Search Engines. It takes time, requires patience,
demands persistence, but, it brings success! It is your way to success. The
decision is yours.
