Do You Risk Getting Caught Trading Links?
 

Not so much of a tip as maybe some food for thought:

Cheers!

doing link exchange only with my own sites, nice read though

I have never charged for trading links so i'm not worried.

But TGP guys (and others) are getting devalued for offering standard recips, no payment needed

And that's the balance: do you get more traffic from punters clicking recips or from Google?

Once upon a time, I might value the recips more highly as a direct traffic source, but half the time these days (or more) the recips on a submitted gallery will point to TGPs owned by the submitter and never return any traffic to you anyway...

I have bought some links in the past.

To much trouble.

maybe you should make a tip explaining why the sites that dominate google enagage in "link trading schemes" and paid links and google does not penalize them although webmasters report them on a daily basis.

Are you really that keen on showing everybody that math isn't your strong point? :)

This is kind of old news and I noticed a few link trading companies are going under because of it

yeah it is a huge pain in the ass.
