How can having a links page drive Targeted visitors to your website?
When you swap links with others, make sure they are targeted towards
your market. Swapping links is good for your business. This way you're offering
other content related to yours, and this will keep people coming back.
When you swap with other websites related to yours, your link is also
going on their website targeted towards your market. Swapping with other
webmasters gives you the opportunity to get to know other people as well.
Have you heard before that the more websites that link back to you is
good for the search engines when they are indexing your website?
Yes, it's true. If you have your own host, you can see that in your
stats. It gives you information on how many other websites your website
is linked from. The more links pointing towards your website, the better
placement the search engines will give you.
Having a links page brings you Free traffic. What better way to bring
free targeted traffic to your website then your own links page? We can
use all of the free traffic we can get and having your own links page will
do just that for you.
Some might think linking to others related to their content is more
like competition. But would you rather link to websites that aren't related
to your content? Of course not, that's defeating the whole purpose of linking
to others.
You want Targeted traffic, not someone looking for gardening on a marketing
website, right?
Here's a few websites that offer free link pages if you can't make your
own:

more traffic.

Next you should go surfing for websites related to yours, email the
webmaster and ask them if they would like to trade links with you. You
add their link to your links page, and they'll add your link to their links
page.
That's it. See how easy that was.:)
Happy Linking!
All the best,
