[H1090]How To Find Websites

by Navin Rastogi, Nav

The more links you have to your site (AKA back links), the higher listing you have with search engines. It also brings you more traffic. You can also exchange links with another site. This in known as a 2 way link. A one way link is better though. You can submit your link to directories to get one way links. People can go to these thousands of directories and add their link to it.
Each of these websites has their own rules. Many of them offer 3 choices. You send them your information (add link or submit link) and they look it over and decide whether to accept it. One choice is a free submission. Some sites may say that with this choice it may take up to 6 months before they review your site. These groups want you to create links back to them so they can become bigger. When you do this then you are submitting a reciprocal link. This is a higher priority and it gets reviewed sooner than the other links and has other perks.
Then there is the paid for link called possibly a featured link. This type of link gets looked at the soonest and you get other perks like being able to submit other pages of your website in addition to the main page. Submitting these links to so many sites can take a lot of work. Some sites offer to do it for you if you pay them. So that is something you can try.
A way of getting two way links is by exchanging links. You can just look for sites that you like and ask them if the want to exchange links. there are also link exchange places that help you to do this. They have many members who are looking to do this and they can request you or you can request them through the website to exchange links. I have been using one of these for 2 years. I have a website with Natural Cures for Cancer.
With the group I use, if a site requests a link from you, they have to put up the link first. Then they check it and notify you that it was done and for you to do the same. Many of these sites will put your link on a page that is not connected to their website so no one will ever see it. The exchange group can check that the link is on the page but the page might not be connected to the website which means it does you no good. So you have to check this. There are many unscrupulous people on the internet.
When it comes to links to your website there is a difference of how much it helps you. The Google page rank is a way to measure how much a link from that site helps you. The larger this number is, the better it is. The numbers are from 0 to 10. Some experts tell you not to exchange links with a site that has a PR of 0. If it is a bad site, it could hurt you to have a link to it. Some say not to exchange links with a site that has a PR lower than yours

As a webmaster, keeping your website updated and fresh is not enough. You ought to assure its success by generating enough visitors to your website. It can be done by building backlinks to your website. Unfortunately link building is one of the most tedious tasks in online business. When exchanging links with other website owners, you need to find relevant websites. In addition, not every webmaster provides a facility to submit your site to his/hers. You may have to send out invitation emails to them to trade links with you. Although many webmasters have used this way successfully, sending invitation messages like that could put one into troubles because the receivers could complain about it.

Nowadays there exists various tools available to webmasters to help them in making their website a success like scripts or programs to create link directories which are used to exchange links with others easily. These link directories normally have submission forms as a facility to webmasters to submit their sites. Submitting your website to sites that provide submission forms has some advantages. First you don't have to send out invitation emails which means you will be protected from being acussed as a spammer. Besides, if a site has a link directory, you can say that the owner is interested to trade links with others. You can even create one-way linking by submitting your site to many general directories.

Finding websites which have link directories can be accomplished by using search phrases like "add url", "submit your site" or "exchange links with us" + [keyword] on search engines. But there is a disadvantage of using this way where you will find many unrelevant websites. You will find many websites which don't have submission forms but contain those search phrases on their webpages.

Instead, you can try to use search phrases like these:

-"Powered by eSyndiCat Link Exchange Script"
-"Powered by the Free PHP Directory Script"
-"Powered by SkaLinks"
-"Powered by php Link Directory"
-etc...

Those are words that exist on link directories which were built using some reciprocal linking programs. You can try to find link directories which were created using other similar programs like LinkMachine and ReciprocalLinksPro.

You should first find out the characteristics of each reciprocal linking program. Keep in mind that many programs will remove the words "Powered by ..." after their users become paid users. To overcome this problem you can use phrases like "Submission Rules" or "Submit your web site to just one category" or other phrases that always exist no matter whether the users have upgraded their programs or not.

There is also another thing you should notice when using this way in order to create backlinks to your site. Since many websites don't put their main keywords on their link directories you may not be able to use search phrases like "Powered by php Link Directory" + [keyword]. That's why you should also visit their homepages before exchanging links with them to make sure that their sites are relevant to yours.

Not only for finding sites that provide link submission forms, this technique can also be used for other purposes. For instance if you want to find article directories, you may try to use "Powered by Article Dashboard" as your search phrase.

Although finding sites with submission forms like this has some disadvantages, but by using this technique you will be able to find many general directories easily. Another advantage you can gain is your sites will be submitted to link directories which have already been indexed by search engines.
