LinkTrader Tutorial Introduction
So, You're all set to promote your site, but what else is there to do?
We have found that the most effective methods of promotion involve allowing the engines to find you naturally. Seeing this to be the case, we created LinkTrader. This simple method of exchanging links with other webmasters is the result of extensive research and testing. We have found it to be faster and more effective than submission alone.
Engines like it because they know the links to be real as they follow them from other sites. They know you are active in the internet community as you are linked to from somewhere else. They know you are a valuable link as they find you on a number of other sites. As you see, there are a number of reasons an engine will want to list your site based on LinkTrader over submission alone.
We find this feature important enough that we have addressed it twice in our newsletters last year. Check out these articles in our May 15th newsletter and in our September 2002 newsletter.
