The popularity of a website can be determined by many things. The amount of daily traffic it receives or the scores it receives from a Google Ranking or Alexa Ranking. One of the best and easiest ways to help your website is with links. There are no SEO tricks or tips when it comes to links. There is actually a good way of looking at it, so you’re getting the most out of your incoming links.

Just think of your website as a lake. Try to imagine all the links pointed toward your website and the links you have on your website as streams and rivers. The key or goal for any webmaster is to have the most water possible. The more water you have in a lake, the bigger and more popular it becomes. Your website works the same way and you want all the water you can get. Each time a link is placed on another website and this link leads directly to your website, then this is a stream or river of water coming in. When you place a link on your website for someone’s else’s website; then you’re creating an exit river or stream from your lake. Since we want the most water possible, it isn’t a good idea to be adding other people’s links to your own website. It works much better when we have more links coming in to our sites; than we have pointed away.

Trading or swapping links is just like treading in water or being stuck in the mud. You don’t gain nothing when you swap links 1 for 1. If you have a 2nd website; then you can work some link magic by swapping links with another webmaster. Just ask them to place a link on their website that points toward your main website and use your secondary website to return the favor. This way you can start creating more rivers and streams of traffic to your website. The search engines want to see what everyone’s website is pointing toward and when a bot from a search engine sees lots of links pointing to one website, they know this website must have some good information on it. This will cause your website to appear higher in the search engine listings and this will create a whole new stream of traffic flowing in to your website. Links can work like magic; if you know how to use them properly. Make sure you’re getting the most out of your linking opportunities and links are the number 1 way to increase traffic and PR numbers that Google provides!
