Link exchange Trick?

[mosaicpro]

As a lot of you people doing link building may have encountered most people we approach want a link exchange

Ex:

"I am willing to put a link on my site if you put one on yours."

Now the question I had from this ... if I link to a specific website with rel="nofollow" and they link to me normally.

Would it be of any value or because the 2 websites link to each other regardless of follow or nofollow the links have no value?

Hi Ennovation , As we know that link exchange is done to bring a large amount of traffic to your blog. Link exchange helps in bringing the traffic  to the blogs & websites.

In link exchange  you have to kept one thing in mind that instead of  mailing thousands of webmasters pick the one that you feel  would be the best for your niche- not only for link exchange but for maintaining longer relationship in that niche.Then cal them! for link exchange.

Always remembered that link exchange request  will be done from related niche or same niche, otherwise it will be spammy.

After the link exchange request are accepted then it is depend on us to gave the do follow or no follow link. Most of the times we provide the no follow links. Do follow depend on the admin of the website , if they think that the content is helpful ,for others users also the admin make the link do follow.

For more details on the rel= no follow, refer the below blog:

Rel=Nofollow  Should we use!

I hope that your query had been solved.

Hi Harald ...

I know what nofollow means and the purpose of it...

Keeping it short I want to know if I get value from a link if i link back to it with rel=nofollow

Hi Ennovation -

To directly answer your question, if you nofollow the link back, they will not receive any credit for your link. If they have a followed link to you, then you do receive credit. Simple as that. People doing link exchanges are usually quite wise to this, though, and when they find that you nofollowed the link to them, they will often remove the link that is pointing to your site.

I also have to tell you that I don't recommend link exchanges. I suspect that pages that exist just for link exchanges, or sites offering them, are quite discounted in Google. Plus, it ends up looking quite spammy, even if the sites you are exchanging links with are in your niche.

Since you are already thinking about building and keeping relationships with people, why not take it a step further beyond a link exchange, and instead do a guest post for them? If they want to do one for you as well, I think that's totally fine.

Good luck.
