If you have a link directory on a website, how do you stop link theft by sites that don’t link back, or trick you into thinking they do?
Whether link theft is anything to get concerned about depends on how many links your website has, the quality of those links (Google Page Rank) and how many of those links you lose. Search Engine Ranking is certainly something that’s becoming more dependent upon the links to your website.
You might be forgiven for thinking that when a website no longer links back to you, that it was an accident your link was removed from the link directory. Of course accidents happen as I know from using some link manager software. Just one click in the wrong box and a website link disappears the next time you update your link directory. But the real link thieves are those people that use methods to rob you of a link.
Here’s 7 Top Ways Link Thieves work and how you can avoid being their next victim.
1. If a website asks you to exchange links, don’t link to them until they have given you the URL location of your link in their link directory. If you link to them first they may forget to add your link.
