I've heard that some of the search engines filter links that are generated by link exchange and link exchange software. Is that true? |
|
Although it is impossible to know exactly what weighting and filtering systems each search engine uses, it appears that some search engines do tend to remove links that appear too similar. BigLinx uses a proprietary, patent-pending method for generating unique link pages for every member, so when search engines crawl a BigLinx-generated link page, your link won't be filtered out.

How is BigLinx different than other link exchange services? |
|
There are three big differences with BigLinx:
1. BigLinx utilizes patent-pending technology and other proprietary methods to improve the quality of its link pages. BigLinx’s technology will give your links pages and those of your link partners a greater chance of being included in search engine indexes by avoiding search engine filtering tools designed to exclude links placed on "link farms".
2. BigLinx gives you complete control. You determine who you will or will not link with. You can filter by category, by individual sites or link with all members. It's your choice. To change your link exchange permissions click here.
3. BigLinx is a unified link exchange system that allows you to exchange links with other web sites. And, with BigLinx, you can buy and sell links, too! What this means for you is that BigLinx will let you exchange, buy or sell links in one place.

Do I have to be a webmaster to use BigLinx? |
|
No, but you do need access your website’s server so that you can add a link from your homepage to your link page. If you represent a company that has a website but you are not the webmaster, contact him or her and tell them about BigLinx, so that your company can get started with trading links.

Why is it good to trade links, for example, real estate link exchange? |
|
The main reason is to drive traffic to your site. When used correctly link exchanges can increase your number of visitors by the thousands. And, unlike advertising or cost-per-click systems like Google and Overture, over time your investment returns in linking will increase over time.
There are three main effects of having a lot of links to your site.
1. People will see the link to your site and click on it while browsing through your link partner’s web site.
2. Search engines will rank your site higher if you have high link popularity. This means that your site will show up closer to the top and not on the bottom of the search results.
3. Many search engines use what is called "Spiders" or “Bots” to crawl the web and index new and updated web sites. If your site does not exist in the search engines; for example that means that google.com they have not indexed your site yet. The "Spiders" will more easily and more often crawl your web site if a link to it is placed all over the Internet. Your site will be listed more quickly and it will be revisited more often.

I cannot find my link on another member's site. Why? |
|
Remember, the BigLinx system is based upon reciprocal linking. By default, all new accounts exchange links with other existing accounts. However, you may be filtering the other member's category or the other member may be filtering your category. If you have changed your permissions or change the link settings, then you may have limited the number of partners you are linking with. If you want to check or update your settings click here.

Link Exchange Permissions what are they and how can they benefit me? |

Some Internet marketing professionals believe that you should only exchange links with highly relevant sites, while others are content to exchange links more broadly. Permissions are advance options that make it easy for you to filter link exchanges. By using link exchange permissions you can limit the type of sites that you link with. This way you will receive link exchange requests only from relevant sites.
