I realize that in an ongoing attempt to rationalize self-interest and self-image (in other words, they want to pull the wool over our eyes), a motley crew of so-so consultants are constantly trying to create a few convergent global Internet policies composed of extraneous and ad hoc rules backed up by little more than rumor and thin air.

Therefore, in comic defiance, I am listing a few automated link exchanges. It's fun, and irrespective of what the would-be experts say out there in waste-your-time-land, the automatic exchanges do bring you traffic and sometimes a sale or two. When your page rank is zero, what do you have to lose?

First of all, add your site to http://freepgs.com/ledbetter/wordpress/?page_id=69 and to the automatic reciprocal exchange located near the bottom of http://classified.5gigs.com

Then add your sites to these directories (the directories lead you to the sign-up pages of reciprocal automatic link exchanges containing 100s and 1000s of unique members running websites on separate, unique servers):
- http://classified.5gigs.com/links.php
- http://classified.5gigs.com/gotlinks.php
- http://classified.5gigs.com/linkfound.php
- http://classified.5gigs.com/betterlinks.php
- http://www.betterlinking.com/index.php'r=372

Here are a few of the very best free semi-automated link-trading services:

Then there is http://evolinktion.com/ "Evolinktion is committed to creating the most thorough and relevant human compiled and maintained reciprocal link exchange network in the world."
