3 Way Links - Will They Increase Your Pagerank?

By Catherine Smith

When deciding on your pagerank, search engines will look at your link activity. Don't worry if you are unsure of how this all works. Read on to find out more.

Inbound links point towards your website from others.

Outbound links are the URLs you have on your site, that point to external sites.

Links that direct the visitor to pages and articles within your site, from your site, are called internal links.

Swapping links with another website is called creating a reciprocal link. These are not always as valuable in search engine's eyes as other links.

Search engines considers many factors when deciding on your site's page rank, but one of the main things they consider are how many inbound links you have, compared to outbound links. You should be careful not to have many outbound links and only a few inbound, as this will have a negative effect on your page rank, resulting in less sales.

Although many people spend a lot of time writing articles and submitting them to get traffic and links, there is a far easier way and it is called 3 Way Linking. It is amazingly effective and worked for me, by getting my unknown site to the top of Google. This resulted in my being able to get out of debt and focus on things I really enjoy. 3 Way Linking is a very special technique and works in all sorts of niches. A lot of people have already experienced superb results.

What is 3 Way Linking?

Three way linking uses three different sites from one niche. Site A links to Site B, Site B links to site C and site C links back to site A. This is far better than reciprocal linking, as Google will view these as one way links. Everyone benefits this way and so does your site.

High quality links are three way links, as every site involved receives a unique one way link and will benefit when Google sees this.

In conclusion, this technique is a lot more helpful and effective, than spending ages chasing down reciprocal links. You don't even have to find three way links manually, as there is software that can do it all for you. Basically once you have spent 5 minutes setting it up, you can set it and forget it. When you check back you will see an increase in page rank, traffic and sales.
