Commercial Link Exchanges

All the linking strategies that I’ve been discussing so far are free. It won’t cost you a dime to get links on friends’ sites and forums but it might cost you a little time.

Commercial link exchanges cut that timeline for a fee. LinkMetro.com, for example, looks like a directory but instead of choosing sites to browse, you’re looking for places to put your links. Because you can target those sites carefully, you can safeguard your PageRank and make sure that you’re getting interested users.

Adzaar.com, AdBrite.com and LinkAdage.com all offer similar services and are worth a look if you’re thinking of building a link network fast and are prepared to pay for it.
