Link Exchange Tutorial - Confirming Link Exchanges

You know how important link popularity is, and just one of the ways to improve upon your link popularity is by exchanging links with other related sites. But how do you go about doing this? If you have just entered our Link Exchange Tutorial, please start at the beginning.

Step Seven

Confirming link requests is important. It doesn't do you much good if you are linking to someone's website, and they never bother giving you a reciprocal link.

If you have given a two or three week deadline for adding a link to your site, check back and see if a link has been granted. If not, you can try sending one follow up reminder. If your link has not been added by then, consider it a lost cause and remove the link from your own site. If you get a "Sorry I was on holidays, can we still exchange links" after you have removed it, it is quite simple to add it back again.

Once you have confirmed a completed link exchange, you may want to keep the exact URL of where your link appears in a separate file. This will make it easier to confirm your link still exists at a later date, especially when you are linking to the index page, not the link exchange page.

When someone asks you for a link exchange, respond to the request in a timely manner. The longer you wait, the less likely you will be to have a successful link exchange.
