Link Trades

[AcidMaX]

DD,

Thanks for the response. I understand I need to build a little traffic first in order to get some big link exchanges for the site.

Right now I am not even just talking about that. When that time comes I am sure the link exchanges will fall into place in order to exchange traffic.

Right now I am thinking about things like success page links. Lets say a webmaster comes to you and submits a link. On your success page, where it says "Hey thanks for submitting to DD's", I am looking for links that say "Dont forget to submit to Smut Links!"

Now a good friend of mine who runs a large link list (I wont mention his name, but you guys would know him, but I also don't think he posts here) has give me a link like that on his page which has helped me get a few links a day submitted to me, but at the pace it is going, it would take me 10yrs to build the link list.

I guess since I am coming from a mostly programming/technical background, and I can code anything imagineable, I struggle with some of the simplest techniques with link lists.

ie., what types of links to accept at first, how to get links submitted to me, etc.

I can buy traffic and do some link exchanges with people once that is up and I have a descent amount of traffic that will be coming in from existing sources, friends and purchased traffic when im ready.

Case in point, I came to this board and about 10 others saying I launched Smut Links. I got the success page link on this other large link list and I sent out a webmaster e-mail to about 900 webmasters who have submitted to my TGP in the past.

I still have only received about maybe 15 submissions if that in the last 3 days. Is this normal? Below normal?

I'm basically just looking for some basic guidlines on how to build this link list and do it right. If you or anyone else has some time to give some pointers just hit me up on the ICQ below so we can chat and maybe this cloudy mess im in will clear up
