Link Market Description

Link Market is a link exchange market place that was founded in 2003. The goal of Link Market is to keep link exchanging efficient, fair, and beneficial for all members - in fact every link in the link directory has been validated and approved by the Link Market Editor. Exchanging links in a fair and efficient way will not only get more visitors to your websites but it will also improve your rankings in the various search engines.
Link Market Detailed Overview

Using Link Market is a very simple three step process: a webmaster receives a link request in their email telling them to log into Link Market and approve the link requiest. The webmaster receiving the request logs into their account and clicks on Current Jobs where they can see all the current requests and decide if they want to accept the link. If the webmaster wants the link then they approve it and it is sent to the originating webmasters Current Jobs. Both webmasters submit the url's that will be linked and they both have a new link attached to their website.

The only requirements for using Link Market are that you own the website you are linking to, have a link page, and be willing to place links on that page to correspond with each link you request on other websites. And, submitting your website is a very simple process - you just fill out a short form and once it has been approved then you are ready to start trading links. There are three membership levels available: Free, LDMS (Link Directory Management Service), and Full Service. Each level of membership gets your link listed in the Link Market Directory, allows you to send and receive link requests, and edit link information. The other two membership levels offer:

  • LDMS - $20.85 per month - This membership level eliminates the need to upload links to your links page, automatically removes broken links from your directory, and adds all links in the correct category.
  • Full Membership - $24.85/6 months - This membership level gives you many more features regarding permissions for link exchanges, link history and pending statuses, and reports on the effectiveness of the links.

There are also advertising opportunities available which will get your links listed higher in the directory which can generate up to ten times more link requests. You can even have multiple accounts if you desire - and manage all of them from one Link Market account.

Link Market Reputation

Exchanging links is one of the easiest ways of improving your rank on the various search engines. But, the links do need to be relevant to your website or they will be dismissed by search engines. Link Market gives you the best way of finding relevant links and easily getting them set up. Link Market makes sure that all the links are quality links which is one less thing you will have to worry about.

Good For Backlinks

I found Link Market about five months back while looking for a service to create backlinks to improve my search engine ranking. Link Market is a quick and easy way to exchange links and create backlinks to your website.

I felt using Link Market is rather easy, you can contact other website owners and they can contact you. All you need to do is copy and paste a HTML code to your website. You can search for relevant links based on category lists.

Link Market offers a free service and an upgraded paid service, with the free service you are allowed to request five link exchanges a day.

I like the way Link Market sends you an email when someone has requested to exchange links with you. Their website is easy to navigate and getting started is easy.

You will get a lot of requests from non relevant sites as well not related to your website, it’s up to you if want to exchange links.

Another neat feature that they have is: if someone removes your link from their page they will let you known that the link is broken and that it was erased.

Link Market emails are great

Link Market creates a lot of backlinks to your sites, optimizing the amount of users that will find it. Not too long ago I needed this for my site, so I ended up finding Link Market. For the most part Link Market was easy to use and pretty user-friendly. You can also message other people who run websites. This comes in pretty handy to get a feel of who else is out there and what the community is like. One thing that helped me while using Link Market was the email notifications. I have me email connected to my blackberry, so whenever someone was erasing my link because it was broken, I would get an email. This is useful so I don't have to be online 24/7 watching my Links. They also send you links for other things, but the broken link emails were the most useful. Overall I give Link Market two thumbs up. Their website is well organized and their service is great.

A great place to get backlinks

Link Market is one of the best places I use to get backlinks to my sites. The website delivers on it's promises and helps create valuable backlinks and SEO through them on my websites. I've found navigation, searching and adding links to the link exchange program really simple and straightforward. All the sites are top-notch quality and provided me with a lot of high quality link exchange partners.

The site offers three different services, either a free or paid link building service or a LDMS(Link Directory Management Service) subscription. I've found the free service to be limiting because it lacked some important features, pro version costs only $24.85 and is a definite buy. The extra features offered are highly useful as you are able to access the newest Link Market member pages and allows people to see detailed info about incoming link exchanges and set link exchange permissions(highly useful).

The LDMS can be quite useful for anybody wanting to build a link directory, LM staff maintains it for you at a reasonably fair price.

Good Exchange

I only came upon Link Market recently, and so far it has been a good experience. Since it is a simple exchange process in which you get hundreds of extra views daily, this Link Market has greatly increased my interest in these types of services for the future. The only slight negative aspect of Link Market is the $20 monthly cost. Even though there is a free option, it is a hassle and you barely have any additional features. The best part of this service is that my website went almost to the top of all search engines. I would recommend this product to anyone who has mediocre experience in website exchanging and wants more traffic to their website.

Street market for Links

I came across Linkmarket. net 7 months ago and up to now I'm pleased with the service. In my opinion, it is one of the most decent linking services around on the Internet. It is not a free and automated service, you have to do some work yourself and pay $25 per year. However, I find it to be a decent value. You of course need choose wisely when deciding the websites to link to or not. The website is pretty decent to raise your PR, I got one of my websites

to pick up quickly a PR2 in no time. There are also some downsides, the website could have some improvements like the support team. They are very, very slow to reply to inquiries and some new features

could also be important to keep the site "live and running". Nevertheless, I recommend this service to people who have lots of websites running and wish to raise their PR and exchange some links. It is not great and not free, but it offers a decent middle-road solution.

Don't use LinkMarket

Link market is a good way to get traffic to your website, but I don't recommend it. If you want search engines to rank your site nicely and if you want search engine traffic, do not use this. Search engines such as google and yahoo hate link farms(link market is a link farm) and will not give your site a good ranking. The only way to rank good with search engines is with SEO, and link market isn't the way to go.

Link Farms are on the way out

Link Market is a good product, but it is about 3 years late to the game. Sure you can still get some traffic with this link farm, but in the long run you will only be hurting yourself in the search engine rankings. It is very cheap at only $25 a year, but it is not automated and the support absolutely sucks. I will be surprised if they are around this time next year.

Good results after few months of usage

It was about more than three months when I first saw comments about Link Market. Some of them were positive while others negative and that's why I decided to see how it works first hand. I'm not actually into those different exchange sites, but that one specificly wasn't one of the bad ones. Maybe it is even one of the best from the similar services I've tried. You can use the service for free, but you won't get much, so if you are serious you should consider the paid one though the price seemed to me a bit high at first. You will just get a lot more useful tools. I was definitely able to create a lot of backlinks. I've definitely got a big improvement in search engine ranking. So the program really works. If you want to gain some additional traffic to your website, then this is a good choice.

Link Market is a good start

I have many domains, some are blogs, others are ordinary websites, and many are merely parked. I do not have enough time to apply proper SEO techniques on all of them, so I decided some months ago to try out 'link exchange'.

I found that Link Market was worth a try, but I have only signed up for the free service.

I do not know for sure, BUT I fear that Google regards this as a 'Link Farm' and if they do, then they will eventually punish those who participate there. As a consequence of my fear I have only participated with sites that have PR0, and so far it has worked for me. Several of my sites that are 'participating' at Link Market have now PR2.

I can recommend others to use the free membership at Link Market the same way I do (I have no knowledge or opinion about the paid services).

Link Market is the best!

Link Market is a good place to put your links to get more activity coming to your site. I tried it out after reading a couple of mixed feelings reviews online, and my site has had all sorts of traffic come to it from Link Market. I'm very, very pleased with the amount of people who have seen and clicked on my links. The $25 membership fee is well worth it considering all the attention your links will get from being a member on Link Market. Link market is definitely one of the better link farm sites I have seen lately. Don't waste your time on the others.

Easy way to get many backlinks

Link market is a link exchange site. You can get many backlinks from link market from other site easily. I know this site from my friend. I joined this site because I wanted to get free backlinks to all my domains. I have many domains and it is hard to get many backlinks manually, so that's why I joined this site.

You can get instant backlinks, just check your account. After I joined for 3 months I got 100 backlinks to my sites. I am very satisfied with link market. I can get high pr just in 4 months. I recommend this site to you if you want to get many backlinks.

You can register as free member like me. I still use this site. If I buy new domain I always submit my site to link market to get many backlinks.

Not the Best Site

I discovered Link Market when I was looking for some backlinks for my website. I decided to give it a shot because it made me feel safe because there was a free version for me to test it out. However, after few weeks of signing up, I stopped using it.

As a person who used the free version, I can say that Link Market does work, but it doesn't increase much traffic. My website didn't increase any traffic from using this site and it didn't give me any good ranking on Google and Yahoo. The support sucks and as a free member I didn't get much features.

Additionally, it only works if you have your own website.

In conclusion, I give this site an C because it is not the best site for backlinks to increase traffic for your site. If you want good backlinks, try out SEO sites.

Link Market Links May be Hurting Website Ranking

So I subscribed to LinkMarket recently and started building links - about 50 now, oddly enough, my website ranking on Google is getting worse. I did see improvement on Bing. I am beginning to suspect my site is being penalized by Google for being listed on LinkMarket. If this trend continues, I will have to pull my site from LinkMarket.

One thing I am pretty positive about - painstakingly searching for websites relevant to mine via Google, and exchanging links, resulted in improved ranking of my website. I was looking for an easier way (LinkMarket), and it appears I am paying a price.

Link Market - take my money please

I must admit I was very impressed with Link Market at first. It is a unique service that helps webmasters improve the ranking of their sites through the link process. I signed up for 6 months of the service and after one month, no longer had the resources to keep up with the requests, so I abandoned any further personal commitment.

I never thought about it -- but I assumed that I was signed up only for 6 months. If I wanted to sign up for longer I would have done so. However, be careful -- Link Market has a policy whereby if you sign up you will automatically be scheduled for a repayment at the end of your service term. I was upset to find that another $24.95 was taken from my paypal account without my prior consent. Nothing was ever clicked, agreed to in advance or anything to that effect. I simply received an email one day saying I gave Link Market another 6 months worth of fees... for a service I never used in the past and for something I wouldn't likely use again in the future.

I sent a nice email to Link Market who essentially told me "too bad, so sad" it's our policy. "You can cancel up to the day before at any time". Hey thanks for the info, but isn't it ethically appropriate to let me know about it something ahead of the first payment? i. e. before you rob me of $25?

Returning the payment to me would have been not only ethical but also business sound. For one thing I wouldn't be writing this and secondly I have a whole host of new websites coming up so I would have no doubt signed up for it in the future.

It really is too bad.

And oh, don't expect Paypal to help out in any way. You're on your own. Too bad, so sad... $25 bucks in their pockets! I think paypal gets a small cut too.

Cheers

Phil
