How do you choose your link exchange partners?

Can having a more links page where you list trades and sites you like help your site out in anyway? How about link trades on lets say you have a Anal Cat and you link to Big Ass sites can that hurt you...

Don't take the article as FACT; just something to chew on.

I don't think any LL owner thinks about PR bleed since by definition a LL links to hundreds of sites at least on each page. But, it's true about relevancy of the sites you're linking out to

One thing alot of people obsess over is PR bleed on your page with too many outgoing links, so they try to limit trades per page to 20 or whatever. PR bleed is nothing compared to relevance you gain by linking out and backlinks you gain if its part of a linktrade.

Count the number of hardlink trades on that page

[alessandro]

Haldfeck, I bet that's a new page and that's not only the reason there aren't many hardlinks. It's also because there probably aren't many LLs that have a "blonde" category

I can think of a half dozen large LL's from this board who have "blonde" categories

[alessandro]

Exclude that reason then , I think the main one is the page being new.

I just clicked the link...it's for "hardcore blondes" which I believe no one else has at the moment. But I'm certain there will be a half dozen by this time next week.

Haha
Is that actually a pattern ? When GG adds a new niche/cat to his LL, everyone else jumps on it and add one too ?

We all follow each other it seems. He is adding some that I added earlier. I added a couple from DDave and Linkster and they added some of mine...just one big circle. Of course you need to have the submits to keep them floating

[alessandro]

Yeah, that's why I'm not going to add a new category anytime soon ( because I still don't get enough submits to my actual cats ), just a "For Women" category because I signed up with grandmascrotum's program and there are enough promo materials for me to use which also seem to be quite wanted.

Alessandro, of course the blonde page is probably new. I also believe GG doesn't give a shit about PR -- his LL lives and breathes on bookmarkers, not Google. But for you to say no LL owner thinks about PR bleed is like saying everybody cheats on their taxes (could be true, who knows?).

I'm not saying every LL owner thinks that way. I don't read minds But I'm not so presumptious to say no LL owner thinks that way either. There are reasons why some people to think limiting hardlink trades per page to a certain number is good for their PR, and some people still think PR helps them rank.

PR is of no consideration to me when linking. I know it is to some. Relevant trades are what I look for with an old school mentality.

[alessandro]

Haldfeck, if it makes you feel better, take it as "I don't think many LL owners think about PR bleed"

Surfn, you're the man

Btw, I really enjoyed reading the article someone posted earlier in this thread, take a look there, the guy who wrote it doesn't give a shit on PR, since he uses Yahoo! to determine the relevancy of the pages he gets linked from ( he also uses Google a little but not the PR system ).
