Featured Friend Concept

Submitted by charlieaquino on Aug 19, 2009 – 5:04 pmNo Comment

Hi guys! Are you familiar with link exchange?

If not, here’s a quick explanation of what it is. Well the term itself says it all actually :)

Featured Friend ConceptLINK EXCHANGE – happens when two websites link to each other

Now you may ask for what purpose? Here’s the fun part for those who are really new to this concept. Link exchange helps your site display more in the front page of search engines like Google or Yahoo.

The more other websites link to your site the more likely Google or Yahoo will prefer to list your site on their front page and if you are listed there it simply means more people will visit your site. I guess that’s what you want to happen to your website right?

The idea behind it is really simple. Google and Yahoo want to serve their customers well and since they are search engines it follows that to serve their customers well they have to display websites that people are really looking for when they search. Makes sense?

Now for Google and Yahoo to do that they have what we call “spiders” (not the literal spider) that crawl all the different websites on the internet searching for “keywords” that are relevant to each site. Now with the help of these spiders Google and Yahoo will be able to rank your website based on the content it finds as to be helpful or not.

You are still following okay!

Now whenever someone searches a specific “keyword” in Google or Yahoo, they will try to display the sites now with the most relevant content based on what the “spider” were able to extract on the different websites. And that is how sites get listed on the front page of these search engines.

But of course there are a lot of things happening on the background that the search engines use to rank a site but one of their criteria is the number of other websites linking back to a site.

Knowing this then, it makes sense to have a lot of websites link back to you and one of the most common ways it is done especially for start-up sites is though “Link Exchange”. I hope you get the concept now.

So for the purpose of this post, how about us doing a link exchange? Are you open to it?

If yes then I have a special thing for you. If you click on this link I’ll show you a concept I’m trying out in cajammed and it called the Featured Friend concept. I feel there is a better way to do link exchange than just simply links, and the featured friend concept is something I’d like to introduce.

If you are open to it then I’d be glad to add link to your site too from here.

So check this page out and let’s take it from there.

Helping you get out of your box,
Charlie
