Thread: FREE one way links and traffic

Do you have any evidence to back up this assertion?

I think that your domain name is in question.

containing the word virus and not anti.

I think you're limiting yourself by insisting the links be on the home page. Frankly, it's an ugly graphic. I'd want to put it on my links page. Also, there should be a way of making sure the links are related to the subject of your website.

I agree that the category of the link is important. It also would be important that the site be of reasonable quality to not downplay the quality of our site. If you require that this be on the main page, I suspect that you will discover that people will place it underneath many blank lines or inside of a hidden div once you have manually reviewed and approved it. Your automated link checking software will have a difficult time determining the placement of the links and your logo. You may want to reconsider the requirement for the main page.

Its a good concept though (even though I've never liked the pyramid sales schemes).

SG,

Wow. I don't even know where to begin with this. To start with, this has GOT to be one of the all-time ugliest websites I've ever seen.

Are you aware that you've basically reinvented web rings, only without the advantage of appropriate context?

Why not allow new members to see your directory of members sites and let them choose which sites/categories they would like to have linked to their site.

In order to avoid everyone from requesting links from a few sites you could perhaps make it a fee based option (very low fee).

And, perhaps this is the wrong forum, which does Google deem less relevant, reciprocal links or untargeted links?

Google no longer rates reciprocal links as much...

I have several websites (and many client websites) that prove this theory to be incorrect.

Sorry, but I have to agree with Robert Warren :)
