How to Exchange Links

Exchanging links with other sites causes Google and other search engines to visit more frequently, which can help out your rankings and bring in more visitors.

If you are going to go through the trouble of exchanging links with a site, you might as well get the most benefit in Google!

Rule #1: Don’t just link the site URL! Putting “www.startbackpacking.com” as a link on your site does very little good at all. By using keywords in the anchor text it can greatly benefit both sites. For example – a link should look like this:

Backpacking Tips

Rule #2: Your website should be backpacking or budget travel related!

Rule #3: As a courtesy and to make the exchange fair, please don’t set the link to “NOFOLLOW” in the HTML code.

Linking Startbackpacking.com

When linking Startbackpacking.com, please use the text “backpacking tips” in the link and make the URL – http://www.startbackpacking.com/ You can right click on the link to the left and copy it to make things easier. We will gladly return the favor – just fill out the form below with the anchor text you would like.

Your link will be displayed either on our backpacking links page or the vagabonding blogs page.

Want to add forums to your site?

Adding forums to your site is a pain! They sit empty as people slowly get over their shyness and start to post things. If you don’t want to fool with the promoting and software setup, feel free to use ours! Just link “backpacker forums” or “backpacking forums” on your site and your visitors can enjoy the interaction with other travelers. Be sure to point the link to http://www.startbackpacking.com/trave/forums/

If you would like a special section or topics created in the forums specifically for your visitors, just ask!
