SEO and Link Exchange Programs
It’s not very hard to create a website, but it’s a different story when it comes to gaining readership. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the other side of web development and it can often times be the one factor holding your site back from reaching the number one spot on any one of the major search engines. SEO involves many aspects, but here are a few:
- Writing content with the “searcher” in mind: this means creating content that is filled with the relevant keywords that you want to promote.
- Update Frequently
- Submit your site to major search engines.
- Use Header Tags for Titles
- Let people know your site exists: the internet is a sort of popularity contest. You need to get your name out there as much as possible and you have to create something worth a mention.
Link Exchanges Will Help Your Popularity
Whether you use a link exchange program, or negotiate a link exchange with someone else, link exchanges can provide an extremely beneficial way of geting your name out there and increasing the popularity of your site. Also, the more popular sites you have pointing to your own, the more popular you will be in the eyes of the search engines.
Below is a great list of some directories and real estate related sites that offer some type of link exchange:
