Web Resources Getting reciprocal links is the most time consuming of the two. The webmaster will basically spend time contacting other webmasters to ask if they are willing to exchange links. When using reciprocal linking, a webmaster will typically only contact webmasters who have websites about the same topic. A mailing list will first have to be acquired. Once this is done, the webmaster will send out personalized emails. Depending on the number of emails they send out, they will get a certain number of responses. When a favorable response is given, it is important to add their link as soon as possible.

While they can be more difficult to obtain than reciprocal links, they are usually worth it. They may also require you to spend money. One way you can get one-way links for free is to submit your site to free directories. While free directories may list your site, the listing may not be as good as you want. To quickly get your site added to the top listing of a directory, you may have to pay a one time fee. This is the fastest way to get the best one-way links. It is best to set aside a budget for this. It is also important to make sure your site is listed in sections of directories which are relevant to your site.
