Link Exchanges and Link Trading are quite popular and usually a manual process.

The value of reciprocal links vs one way links is still being discussed around the internet marketing community and most say that reciprocal linking is still alive and well.

However, a reciprocal link (I link to you if you link to me) seems to be frowned upon by Google where a one way link is deemed much more valuable.

If you do linking strategies of any sort, your most aware of the amount of work involved in communicating with the website owner, placing your links etc and hopefully requesting triangular linking (You link to my site A from your site A and then I link back to your site A from my site B), hence triangular and one way, but both benefiting.

Well, I am happy to recommend a free link building resource that allows you to automate the entire one-way-link process.

You register your website (must be php or asp) and then install the script.  This is not a directory script, but rather a link building service.

Then you enter a url to your website and the category (so your links are put in relevant topic websites) and your Unique Clickable Text.

The service then begins to place your link on other websites automatically at the rate you specify (1 per day, 2 per day etc, up to 5 per day)

So far, this free link building service is the best thing I’ve seen for promoting your websites and increasing your PR, SEO and traffic
