Setting up a Affiliate Linking Program
-
Hello all,
I work for a travel booking agency that specialises in coach and minibus hire.
I am currently thinking about creating a Affiliate Linking Program to create some links for the business. So this could be a suppliers page (similar to a directory page) with details of related companies to ours. We can link to there site and they can link to ours - its win-win situation for both parties.
Is there a difference between a Affiliate Program for links and a business directory on your site?
Has anyone done something similar to this before? What are peoples thoughts?
Thanks for your help in advance - Aqib

I just want to add to what Roman has said; I might be reading into this incorrectly, but it appears that you might be under the impression that sites that link back and forth to one another are as valuable as Affiliate Linking Programs. I thought I should interject and just say that doing Link Exchanges has been proven to be detrimental to sites. I mean, just Google "Link Exchanges Bad" and you'll find an endless supply of articles on this...

Yes there is a big difference at least base on my experience affiliate will help you to sell not to rank or get authority as website
Example if I hire Peerfly to promote one of my products and 100 affiliates decide to promote my website or product google will count all those 100 affiliates like just one traffic source. In my case my main affiliate plataform generate 80% of my traffic using 1200 websites and in my Google Analytics Accounts shows me that traffic as one medium

Internal Links - How to Increase them, Categories not being considered as Internal Links
Hi All: As per my understanding, Internal Equity Passing Links is a metric defining PA. Now my website has around 65 internal links while few of my competitors have more than 180 links. I am unable to understand how to increase the internal links passing equity on my website, because I can see, more number of links on my website than my competitors but opensiteexplorer does not show that. I am really confused. Please help out if anyone knows something about this issue. Thanks in advance.

"gimme links" = easy to fill out profile/personal reputation links that offer a do-follow anchor text flexible link
I'm doing some SEO for small niche service sites...and aside from niche directories and some light article marketing and local search directories (yelp, etc) there really isn't a budget for content generation. I really only have a budget for profile/submission links. What are some sites where you can quite easily fill out a personal profile with an anchor text variable link that may not be THAT juicy but will stick (i.e. not a spam/fake profile type of link, but something like Linkedin). I'll start with giving away 1 www.istockphoto.com Any others that aren't obvious?

Where are all the sites that are linking to me?
I need to compile a list of all the siters linking to my site, but my open site explorer analysis shows very few links. I know for certain that there are many many more sites linking to it (it's an academic site and there are links to it from a lot of academic directories). What am I doing wrong?

Free link on a Paid Link Blog
Hi there, I have been doing some outreaching, and managed to have a blog post accepted on a authority blog. They included links to my website, and I was very pleased with the placement. However, having browsed through the site, I was worried to see that they openly admit they allow 'reviews' of websites, with backlinks included, for $50 per review. I am worried I might be penalised without actually doing anything wrong. I did not pay for my link, but the link has been placed on a site which openly admits they accept payment for links. Should I be worried? Should I ask them to take it down? To date I have been told countless times by bloggers I am outreaching that if I pay $10, $50, $100 etc I can write a blog post. I have never accepted because of the risk of penalization. Now, unwittingly, I am linked to from a paid link site with a blog post that would look like I have paid for it because of the placement and style of back link. What do you think? Thanks,
