Reciprocal Links: How To Avoid Rejection

Reciprocal link campaigns are fairy common these days and there is no denying the fact that they have helped many people improve their rakings and dramatically increase traffic to their site. Most webmasters and other persons carrying out a reciprocal link for the first time quite often run into endless problems at the beginning of their campaign. Mostly they get rejected a lot by other site owners refusing their link requests. Many have even totally given up as a result of these early frustrations.

In this article we cover common mistakes people who are new to reciprocal links make. Hopefully many folks will read this and avoid them.

The first thing you must do is check your home page PR ranking. This usually greatly influences people’s decisions on whether to grant your link request or not. This is so important that you may even want to delay your campaign until you are able to get a higher PR ranking. Really, there is no point in wasting time in wishful thinking.

Secondly, do not be lazy and cram all your links on one page. It is important to spread things out so that you have a maximum of 25 links on a page complete with descriptive text. Keep it so well organized and neat that to most people, it will be a pleasure saying yes to you.

Some site owners go as far as “hiding’ these kinks where they think they are least likely to be found. This is a mistake. In fact make sure that you put a link to your main links page right on your home page. The whole idea is to have the links on a very visible page where Google will index them. There will be no point in somebody accepting to reciprocate links when there is chance of this happening.

Most important, always remember to be polite and accept the fact of life that you will get many more “no answers” than okay nods. Remember that it is all well worth the pain of rejection because the links you seek will boost your traffic and site revenue for many years to come.
