Hi,

How do I build links? One way is write good content and let the people find it and give me links but I do not think thats the only way.

Should I do link exchange?
I heard of doing three way or n-way link exchange, is it better?

What precautions should I take.

Thanks,
AjiNIMC

You'll want to look into the trapezoidal linking matriflux if you're serious about your link building.

Everything else is so 2005.

Can you please explain me a little more. Say I own site A then how does it work?

Thanks for the links Jill, I will be going through these articles for sure.

Just compute the surface integral of n sub a, b, c, and d you'll get the right answer. You can visualize this as the surface area of a 4-dimensional manifold. Should you run into problems, take the determinant of a matrix containing your toolbar Pageranks, and use the result as your value for n. That's a good approximation for sites that have been around for more than three iterations of the algorithm.

I hope this helps.

If you own site A, you want your keyword density to equal half the value of the determinant calculated above. NOT MORE!

The above is satire

I think I will need some more time to understand it. I will surely be doing it. Some more explanation will help me think better. Is there a good document on this theory?

This is what you should be doing, Aji.

I am just doing it Alan, apart from trapezoidal linking matriflux (which I have mastered it by now after all statistical calculations with probabilities and possibilities) and http://www.highranki...ngtextlinks.htm do you have some recent articles written on link building stuff.

http://www.highranki...ngtextlinks.htm - This is almost outdated (since the latest there is outdated I did not bother to read other articles). I will like to read something that HR mods think is latest (oh Please not a link from insearchofstuff.com again ).

That's great! You've mastered it already? You really are one smart cookie, Aji.

The buying text links articles was written in Feb. this year, and no, it's not outdated at all.

Thanks trapezoidal linking matriflux was so complex but then I cracked it using the integrated polymorphesim taking a large sample. Also I ordered the book from amazon.



(Btw the amazon link was difficult to find so I have added the link to amazon page on Hedir.com forums as they allow external links)

The buying text links articles was written in Feb. this year, and no, it's not outdated at all.

IMO it is as you talk about text link buying and have not mentioned about nofollow tag, thats outdated.

Add a line
------------
"If you want to add a site wide link do add nofollow tag" and it will make it up to date.

Thanks,

Why would I mention the nofollow attribute? That's for use on pages where you have no control over the links you place so you don't trust them. If you willingly put a link on your page, whether you pay for it or just put it there, there's absolutely no reason to use the nofollow tag. One has to assume you trust the links you place on your site, no?

If not, don't put them there. Simple as that.

hmm...

Link-selling sites can lose their ability to give reputation (e.g. PageRank and anchortext). So if you are selling advertisement better to use nofollow.

ooooo M GGGG another Paranoia by the same guy and now he says,
"lose their ability to give reputation".

quoting isos now! Aji, you are too much.

Good Jill that you have also started enjoying the game . But on a serious note:

If you are buying or selling links for traffic or for anything you should use nofollow tag. I read it somewhere (may be at hedir.com) written by an expert. His point was,

• Google look for problems and PR leaks in different semi-automatic ways. Link-weighting algorithms are the first line of defense.
• Reputable sites that sell links won’t have their search engine rankings or PageRank penalized–a search. Example if HR starts selling text links for "seo forums" would still return highrankings.com. However, link-selling sites can lose their ability to give reputation (e.g. PageRank and anchortext).
• Now if a site wants to buy or sell links then use the rel=”nofollow” attribute. The nofollow tag allows a site to add a link that abstains from being an editorial vote.
• Using nofollow is a safe way to buy links, because it’s a machine-readable way to specify that a link doesn’t have to be counted as a vote by a search engine.

The person who wrote these article (may be at hedir.com) is an expert. I follow him like guru. He is like SEO guru, the best I ever met.
