Link Trades That Waste Your Time
The competition in the world of internet is mind-boggling. Everyday millions and millions of sites are indexed by yahoo or Google and still people have been creating super quickie links that are supposedly so that other webmasters would want to trade links with them leading to the link trade offers getting worse and worse.Title tags are now passé, no one uses them anymore. Title tags if even by change get indexed into a search site will never open a site for the search itself, example if you tag a acme, in a automobile site, then even on searching for automobile tag. Acme will never show up thus making them quite useless.
Miscellaneous links are also the content of links directories of most people who want to trade links. There are quite a few with just the links, no designing, no title tags, and just plain links. A page which has just links and nothing else is quite useless to any site, mine as well as yours.
The biggest frustration is usually the hidden links. The words of a webmaster resound here “ You shouldn’t need a magnifying glass and a GPS system to find a link to the directory. Webmasters need to start treating their links pages as though they were as important as the rest of their site”.
The problems in link trades being a lot less effective are probably :-
A Good Directory
a good directory is the heaven of a site owner, neatly organized by the theme tags and easy to find which are as close as possible to the main object of the website. The more that the site is proximate in theme to your site, the better link will be there for it, as the link trade will be beneficial to your site. A links directory should get more traffic to your site with or without a search engine and that is most often got if the link directory is a resource to the public.
