As I discussed in the previous Topic on How to Trade Links with other Website, I pointed out that this process of manually trading links with other websites takes a lot of time and can be frustrating, especially if you get negative responses or don't get very many responses.

Here is a quick list of the six points that I covered:

Build a Links Page or Links Directory
Determine What Kinds of Sites will Help Your Traffic
Search Out Potential Link Partner Websites
Determine if Their Site is Worthy of Linking to Your Site?
Collect Information on Potential Link Partners as You Search
Finally, Contact the Sites

Working on all of these steps for dozens, if not hundreds of websites, can really eat up your precious time. Yet, Link Building is something that is very important and necessary if you want your website to have a high ranking with the search engines.

Link Building takes Time because you are dealing with people and not just computers. People can forget or get busy with other things and it may take weeks before you get a response back from a website.

Yet there is a much easier way than doing all of this work manually. We need to let the computers do more of the work so we can do less.

Making the Link Building Process Much Easier

1. Use a Website that offers Link Exchange Services

If the steps above sound like a lot of work, you are right, it does take time and effort to build up links to a website. One way to make this process easier is to use a Website that offers link exchange services.

These Link Exchange Websites usually have thousands of websites listed in a directory under categories and sub-categories. Once you sign up, you simply browse the categories and then pick out the Websites that you want to contact and exchange links with.

Some exchange sites charge a fee, or they might have both a fee and a free service. Whether you pay for this service or use a free service, it will save you many hours of time.

Here are a few Link Exchange Websites:
LinkMetro - Free Link Exchange service. They have a form that you fill out before you can trade links. Their Premium Service $19.95 / month
LinkMarket - Another Free Link Exchange Service with several levels of Master Accounts that have a one time fee.
LinksManager - Reciprocal links and One way links. Free 30 day trial, $19.95 / month.

2. Use a Tool that Automates the Process of Link Building

Another way to make this task easier is to use a tool.

SEO Elite is a SEO tool that will search the Web for a list of Websites that have a "Link Request Form", will automatically fill out the forms and then submit the forms back to the Websites for approval. This is only one of the capabilities that SEO Elite has.
