i do own an article directory and i would also like to exchange links with some other article directory, will this be something beneficial for both of us?

Yes exchanging link with different directories is good but most relevant category will give good effect.

Just make sure google doesn't consider them a bad neighbor.

Nobody actually knows what a "bad neighbourhood" is, it's one of these things that has been bandied about for twelve years, but nobody has managed to define what it is.
It's a bit like pornography, you can't actually describe it but you know what it is when you see it.

**jacksparrow** · 12-22-2010, 03:53 AM

yes, it is good. But everything should be done slowly and calmly

**rohnsmith** · 12-22-2010, 04:38 AM

I have naver exchanged links with directories instead I prefer to do with websites with limited out bound links...

**krowmark** · 12-22-2010, 11:48 AM

It depends how well that directory is ranked in google. If they are a 'link farm' or have been penalized by google for something (black hat seo etc.) in the past, then your site will be penalized for linking to them.

My advice to you is to check out every directory before placing a link to it on your website, you don't want to just go throwing in any old link on your site, you need to select your link partners, as said above, "calmly and slowly"

And i agree with Chris Hirst, you can tell a bad site sometimes just by looking at it. Take your time...after all, Rome wasn't built overnight!

**dwspro** · 12-23-2010, 09:48 PM

yes! you may exchange link with relevant directories. However, you should not exchange too much. Google may realize that; and then ban your site.

**dake** · 12-24-2010, 06:35 AM

Yes exchanging links in these dirctories is good. The broader the content of your directory the greater number of directories you can exchange your link with.

Best of luck!

**StoneWilson** · 01-05-2011, 06:48 AM

I never change links with directories, even they got high PR, i think those links with related websites is better.

**CameronHamilton** · 01-05-2011, 06:25 PM

I wouldn't do it. Your goal as a directory owner should be to handpick great website links and feature them in your directory. That's what Google respects and it will reward for that.

Look at all the authority websites like Ezinearticles and Hubpages. They both have systems of hand reviewing for quality control. Look at Squidoo that doesn't have a system like that. They don't rank nearly as good as Ezine or Hubpages.

**Dheeram** · 01-06-2011, 04:48 AM

It useful from the beginning of your website, but don’t overdo it.Choose the relevant with high PR site for exchanging.

**Viresh** · 01-11-2011, 01:21 AM

I think PR make difference in the directory so that it will definitely derive some link juice to your particular web site.

**wowowo0081** · 01-11-2011, 11:00 PM

I think link exchange is good for you site

**Alicia23** · 01-11-2011, 11:13 PM

Yes exchanging links with good PR directory helps a lot to boost up the search engine rankings.

Good Definition

**maryparker** · 01-12-2011, 08:24 PM

Yes. Exchanging links with different directories is good as long as that directory is in the same niche or at least in a relevant category. It acquires link juice for your web site.
