A great big thank you to KW Elite! I really enjoyed teaching Internet Lead Generation to the class today, you guys were great and thank you for your participation.

 

We had a discussion today regarding what I would call Link Backs. I looked into this a bit more because I thought that there was so much more on this topic to explore. Sure enough I found many different definitions and explainations of what it means to link with another website. Here is some of what I found... to name only a few

 

A reciprocal link is a mutual link between two objects, commonly between two websites to ensure mutual traffic.

 

Multi-way linking is a technique used for website promotion whereby websites may create similar one-way links that each involves 3 or more partner sites. This provides each website with a one-way non-reciprocal link. This technique has evolved from reciprocal linking. The latest search algorithms have evolved to hold less favor towards websites that contain a high percentage of reciprocated links, and a higher favor towards websites that maintain a high level of incoming non-reciprocated (one way) links. How to filter out excessive reciprocal link schemes is even being mentioned in anti link spam patents.^[1].

The term multi-way simply refers to the fact that the link exchange is between 3 or more websites, however each link is singular by only pointing to one other website. Other means of linking that may increase your web presence may also include other indirect methods such as loading images, videos, content or RSS feeds from a third partners website.

 

Link campaigns are a form of online marketing and SEO. A business seeking to increase the number of visitors to its web site can ask its strategic partners, professional organizations, chambers of commerce, suppliers, and customers to add links from their web sites. A link campaign may involve mutual links back and forth between related sites, but it doesn't have to require the reciprocation of links.

 

So as a result of my research, I found a great website called http://www.openrealestate.ca
