Let me explain. There are millions of web sites out there right? So when someone is looking for an specific subject on the Internet, Search engines list the most relevant pages first. For example, if the surfer types in the search bar the keyword real estate, the most optimized real estate related web sites are the ones which will appear first. There are thousands of web sites related to this subject competing for placement. You don’t want yours to appear in the 17th page right? You want it to appear if possible within the first page. Now, achieving that rank is hard. There are different tools you can use to improve your web pages optimization. I have already mentioned some of them. You see, one of the most important aspects you will have to take into consideration if you want to increase your site exposure is link popularity.

The more pages out there linking to your site, the more popular your site will be and the more visitors you will receive.

You can increase your link popularity through link exchanges. You can go to certain web sites and arrange deals with other web masters. You can post links on your web site to other web masters’ sites as long as they do the same thing with you. This will be beneficial for both of you. Think of it as having business partners who can refer new clients to you on a daily basis while you do the same for them. The best thing is that it all happens automatically without either of you lifting a finger. The Internet takes care of it. After the exchanges are completed you will receive visitors from their web sites and they will receive visitors from yours.
