What is LinkAlizer?
LinkAlizer is an online software that facilitates webmasters to find other
webmasters and exchange links with them. LinkAlizer acts as a medium and transmits
the messages between the webmasters. LinkAlizer also keeps record of links exchanged
so that a member can refer with whom they have exchanged links.
Is it necessary to add a link to linkalizer on my site when I submit my website?
Of course it is necessary. You should add a link to linkalizer on a relevant
links page that is accessible from your homepage. Adding a link to linkalizer
on a different domain is not accepted. The link to linkalizer should be live
before you submit your site.
Why do you want separate E-mail for each submission?
When your submission is approved, you will receive lots of E-mails from LinkAlizer concerning link exchange (link invitations, link invitation acceptances and link exchange completions). If you have submitted more than one website and if you have one common E-mail, it surely will cause confusion. Please be assured that your E-mail IDs are used only by LinkAlizer and are not revealed even to other members.
I am not the webmaster. Can I submit my company's website?
You should have the authority and writing previleges to the website contents.
That is one reason why we ask to add a link to linkalizer. If you cannot add
a link to linkalizer, how can you add other member sites' links? If you have
no writing permission, do not submit the site. Please bear in mind that linkalizer
is primarily a link exchange and the directory is only a resultant product.
Why do Webmasters need to exchange links?
By exchanging links, their site gets traffic. Webmasters can increase visitors
to the site by identifying and exchanging links with sites that are relevant
to their sites. While links on other sites brings direct traffic, those links
are also detected by search engines. It helps your Site's ranking if you
have more number of links pointing to your site.
Does exchanging links with too many sites hurt Search Engine Ranking?
Definitely it does not hurt. However, you should exchange links with websites
that are relevant to the subject matter of your site. The underlying meaning
of adding relevant links is to provide your visitors alternate information.
It will help your site if you exchange links with sites whose contents are useful
to your visitors.
What type of Websites are accepted by LinkAlizer?
Websites that have good content, easy navigation, links pages and acceptable
to LinkAlizer terms, can join. You will get more response to link invitations
if your site has got a Google PR or at least if it has been indexed by major
search engines. Therefore, submitting sites immediately after launching it, may
not receive link exchanges. LinkAlizer accepts only domain and subdomain URLs.
Domain
format: http://yoursite.com
Sub-domain format: http://subdomain.yoursite.com
URLs that ends with a directory or file name are not supported.
Can I add my site to your Directory and remain without exchanging links?
LinkAlizer's main purpose is to enable members to exchange links. Therefore,
if you are not interested in exchanging links, do not submit your site. But
why you ignore a major way that will bring traffic to your site?
What happens after I submit my website?
Your submission is verified manually by a member of our support team. If the
submission is in accordance with our terms, it is approved - usually within
24 working hours. User name and password are sent to the submitted E-mail address.
If the submission is not approved, a mail is sent to the submitted E-mail
address with the reason. If you have corrected the issue or if you feel that
the disapproval is an error, you can reply to this mail stating your point. However,
you should review the terms carefully before replying.
After approval how do I start exchanging links?
When your website is approved, a link invitation on your behalf is automatically
sent to Premium members (information about Premium membership is given below)
who have opted to receive link invitations from your site category. If they
accept, you will be informed by E-mail.
After you receive the approval mail, you login to your account. If you want,
you can change the password by going to account management. You can also edit
your site title, description and category at any time. If you want to change
the E-mail, send a request using the contact form. You cannot change the URL.
If the website is no more working, you scroll down below on the account management page and delete your account.
Go to the Directory and select the categories that you want to exchange links
with.
The websites under each category are listed with the most recent one on the
top. You can visit the site by clicking the link on the title. The site will
open on a new window. If you decide to exchange links with the site, click on
"Send link invitation to this site" found below the site details.
That's it. Your request will be sent by LinkAlizer.
Free members can send up to 10 invitations per day. If you want to send more
invitations, you should upgrade your account as Premium.
When you receive link invitations or when your invitations has been accepted or when the link partner completes the link exchange,
you will receive notification to your registered E-mail inbox. You should ensure
that mail from linkalizer.com are received to your inbox. Do not reply to these mails. Login to your LinkAlizer account and take action.
Login to your account and click on 'New Invitations' tab. You will find the list
of websites that have invited you to exchange links. Visit the website and decide
whether to accept or deny. You can accept or deny all the sites on the page
at one go, but we recommend that you visit the site and decide individually.
If you upgrade to Premium status, you will receive invitations only from categories
that you chose. When you accept an invitation you are bound to link back after
that site adds your link.
After accepting or denying invitations, click on the 'Accepted invitations'
tab. This page lists all the sites that have accepted your link invitation.
As you are the initiater, add those links to your links page. Enter the exact
URL of your link page in the box under the website details on the linkalizer
page and enter. The information will be sent to the accepter website. They will
check you link page and place a back link to your site. When they have done,
you will be notified by E-mail and the link exchange is complete. If, for some reason, you do not want to proceed with the link exchange, click on 'I changed my mind. remove this exchange'. But beware that once you remove the exchange, there is no way to retrieve it.
When you have added all the links on the 'Accepted invitations' page, click
on 'Waiting your link back' tab. This page contains the list of all websites that
have already added your link and waiting for you to link back. The URL of the
page that your link has been added is shown below the site details. Click on the link
and the page will open in a new window. Check whether your link is visible there. If
you are satisfied, you add their link and enter the URL. The other webmaster
will be notified and the link exchange is complete. If, for some reason, you
do not want to add their link, click on 'I changed my mind, remove this exchange'.
The other webmaster will be notified so that he/she can remove your link from
their site. But beware that once you remove the exchange, there is no way to retrieve it.
The 'Completed exchanges' tab shows, as the name implies, the list of websites
that have completed link exchanges with you. Link page URLs of their site and
your site are shown. If you have moved their link to another location, you should
enter the new location and the other webmaster will be informed about the change.
If you move their link and do not change the URL, the other webmaster may remove
your link thinking you are no more linking to them. Here also, if you do not
want to continue the link exchange for some reason, you click on 'I changed
my mind, remove this exchange' and the other webmaster will be informed your
decision.
This is also the place that you can check whether your partner is still linking
to you. Check their link pages and if you do not find your link, you can remove
their link from your links page and remove the exchange. However, double check
because your link might have moved to another page (eg. if it was www.somesite.com/links?page=2,
it might have moved to www.somesite.com/links?page=3).
Finally the 'Terminated exchanges' tab. On this page you find the sites that
have removed the exchange after you linked to them. You can safely remove their
link from your site.
From the above you can see the system works simply and efficiently to make it
easy and fast for you to exchange links.
