Link List traffic trade question...

The Kraut · 2004-11-10, 05:30 PM

Hi folks!

I've decided to start my own link list beside freesite submitting...

But how do link lists trade traffic? I visited many sites in the last two hours but the only thing I saw were hard links...so is the whole trade thing based on hard links to get link popularity or is there a special hidden trade script which the 'normal' surfer can't see? |cool|
Please clear me up...some suggestions for a link list starter would be nice too!

I haven't been around all that long, but I don't know of any link lists that trade traffic, since basically traffic trading = blind links. We preach and decline submissions with blind links, and it would be pretty hypocrytical to skim clicks on a link list. In this way, link lists are kinda the "anti-TGP" IMO. Every time a surfer clicks a link on Fetish Philes they get what they were expecting. Period.

A link list will get some traffic (though not much) from recip links, a little more from building hard link trades (especially category page trades), but most of us (from what I've seen) really focus on getting search engine traffic. This takes longer to build and goes hand-in-hand with building link trades, but in the end it doesn't cost you anything and doesn't piss off your surfers. My site is thriving on return visitors, so the biggest thing is to get them there in the first place.

I'm currently throwing a bunch of bought traffic at Fetish Philes to get my name out there and build bookmarking surfers (which the traffic I'm buying is particularly good at...note, I've got a great traffic source at an ultra-cheap price, and it's genuine traffic), and 3 months in it's starting to pay off. Even recip traffic will pay off in the long run, as just about every site I list sends me at least 5 or 6 hits a month (some as many as 150/month). This may not sound like much, but once I've got a few thousand links in the database it will amount to 60k or so visitors monthly, which is nothing to sneeze at.

Just the opinions of a sorta-newbie link list owner.

There are a few LLs out there that do trade traffic using a script - but most use only hard-link trades to trade traffic and it definitely keeps the highest quality surfers going between sites - since most LLs get a lot of traffic from SE listings.

I try to have all my trades as hard links on each end - I know how much everyone is sending & I know roughly what I'm sending them & everyone seems to be happy

Ok guys...that's what I wanted t know...

So the main subject is to get some hard link trades with the "big" link lists to get major SE rankings...?

I'll submit a freesite with a recip every day and I'll post my LL to Link Dumps, Forums and other free stuff...
Is that all I can do or dyou have other suggestion which I can use to promote my site??
