Please put your trades above directories

[venril]

Hello everyone, -

A small suggestion to traders. This is mainly related to blogs. I've noticed many of you put your linktrades way down the blog's sidebar, even below directories and other temporary link boosts.

It's okay if above it are banners and links that earn you money. However directories are just a temporary link boost, its good to have them on top for first couple months at most. They would drop your blogs down their listing very quickly, and eventually some even delete them.

Not so with hardlink trades. They are usually way better as they give more link juice that rarely decays with time. In fact it only gets better. And it's annoying that many aged blogs have huge list of directory links above linktrades.

Excellent post and great advice.

Boost up the power sent to the traders as you can see on a large community like this, we are all somewhat intertwined. The stronger your trading partners are the better results you will get.

Good stuff Venril!
