6. What is the strategy in choosing sites to exchange links with ? Be Careful - Relevancy Is Key
Donīt accept links from just anyone - websites with similar or relevant content will improve your rankings quickly.
Quality Counts
This is where being selective is very important. Just one link coming to your web site from a quality web site is better than 100 links from a web site that has little or no relevancy. The better Alexa rank - the better the quality of the link. |

7. How to arrange your outgoing link page ? A links page should not contain more than 20 outgoing links at any time for any reason. More than 20 outgoing links means :: More than likely, no one is ever going to take the time to scroll through all those links to find something they might be interested in. A search engine spider is going to view the page and the links as being less important than they could be. |

8. Should Google Page Rank be considered when choosing sites ? This question does not have a simple yes or no answer, it can be tricky and confusing. For those that are familiar with how the Google Page Rank system works, we know that receiving links from Page Rank 5 pages and higher will be the most beneficial to us.
Receiving links from sites with a Page Rank 6 and above will help us substantially. But what about those sites with a PR less than 5 ? This is where it gets tricky. This is where other search engine positioning specialists get confused.
It is very important that you do not judge a web sites quality or potential based solely on the fact that it does not have a Google Page Rank at all or has a PR0. Having no Page Rank at all, probably just means that Google is not yet aware that the site exists -- but they soon will. We take care of that ;-) |

In addition, we also require that any web site in our directory be indexed by Google so you can be sure there are no banned or illegal web sites in the directory.
