Step 3: Finding High-Quality Link Partners And Getting More Link Love

The fastest way to get more link love

Exchanging links with other websites (link exchange, or link swaps) is probably the fastest, cheapest way of getting massive link love and rankings in search engines ever devised. There are many different ways to arrange a link exchange with webmasters.

The simplest way of doing it is to email another website owner and ask to do a link exchange (take a look at the sample email template on Step 2.)

Note: The important thing you need to remember is that the sites you exchange links with must be topically-related to your site. That is, the theme of your site must complement, but not compete with that of your link partners. Example: If you are selling "blue widgets", it's a good idea to swap links with "widget accessories" sites. But it would be a bad idea in this case to exchange links with real estate or gambling sites.

How do I find quality link partners that match my site's theme?

Finding high-quality theme-related partners is a tedious task. So to save you the trouble, below is a great list of link partners you should swap links with. All these are considered high-class topically-related by ALL major search engines, including Google, Yahoo! and MSN.

Also, all these sites actually do link exchange, so you will have no problem of getting them to link to you.

Quality links pages you need your link on

It's simple: You need to get links from the exact pages below to get a dramatic boost in search engines positions. These Webpages have been conveniently sorted in the order of importance, which is measured by the exact "Link Value" each page will give you.

Note: Although Google PageRank of each page is important, the list has been sorted by Link Value. Link Value takes into account the number of outbound as well as internal links on a page, so this is a much more accurate and (powerful!) estimate. So don't be surprised if a PR5 page sometimes has a lower link value than a PR 4 page. This is how professional SEOs measure a link's value.

Here's the list:
