Promoting Your Web Site by Exchanging Links
Another option for promoting your infertility Web site is to find other
infertility Web sites and offer to exchange links with them. In this situation
no money changes hands. Here are two major advantages of exchanging links.
-
Your Web site will probably receive some additional traffic
from the external links.
-
Search engines will rank your Web site higher if it is
popular (i.e., there are lots of other Web sites with links pointing to your
Web site). Link exchanges help make your site more popular.
Tips
-
In order to maximize the possibility of another infertility
site linking to your site, it helps if your site has lots of educational Web
pages. The other site is more likely to want to point to your educational
pages.
-
When you request a link exchange, consider adding the
following to your (email) request:
-
Include a personal comment about their site so that the
site owner feels that you took an interest in their site.
-
Indicate the Web pages where you like them to add the
link. If you can't find any such Web pages, then it's unlikely they will
add a link to your site.
-
A large infertility Web site may not wish to trade links with you.
However, if you have a specific educational Web page that may fill an
information hole in their Web site, they will be more likely to exchange
links.
-
This process can be very labor intensive and time consuming. You
will need to email or call the Web site operator, make a proposal to
exchange links, and then follow up to make sure the Web site operator added
the correct link (and perhaps description) to your site. The Web site operator
sometimes does this incorrectly and then follow-up
action is needed. If you do this, then IHR suggests that you set up a method
(e.g., updating a word processing table) to manage this process.
-
An alternative to the labor intensive process of link
exchange is to obtain a promotional
listing from an infertility directory site.
