Link exchanges have saved my business life. I was relying on pay per click advertising from Adwords and Yahoo Search Marketing for about 30% of my business.
Then Google began slapping Adwords campaigns. I am so glad I never listened to the SEO snobs who told me that link exchanges do not work.
I started exchanging links with other sites years ago. Right now I am spending nothing on paid advertising and I am getting over 200 subscribers per day from just natural traffic from links from other sites.
You can put your free permanent ads of 7 of my high traffic sites right now here.
Forget the SEO snobs. Traffic is traffic. Start a link exchange system on your site now. What do you think the Adwords content network is anyway? It is simply a bunch of links on websites! So why not build your own network that does not rely on just Google?
Much Success,
