I think the risk here is that the reader might be out of interest if he will going to land on the other article and when he clicks again the other link on the article he is reading..then lands back on same page he came from..that's pretty annoying...

Its hard to tell whether the link in the content would have a higher score in SE algo. There are certain other aspects to be considered - relevancy of the page, number of outgoing links, etc.

It maybe good though for traffic generation - if the content is not a negative review about your site

Same idea here. Unless the links is relevant (although it was on same domain; only differ on subpage/post), links within the content is good.

Try Social Bookmarking and Social Media Marketing.

Well, I did also say...

"What's the measurement of Quality according to Google, Yahoo, MSN?

we don't completely know their algorithms, but we do know a few contributory factors that increase our chances of achieving better PR"

No one knows their algorithms, completely. Except Google, Yahoo and MSN, right?

I wouldn't be referring to the little green bar in everybody's toolbar, but the actual PR results (based on the algorithms)

High PR = Lotsa' Traffic, that's a no-brainer. We all know that. That's all I was saying. Which I asked in the form of a clueless question regarding something that's been done since cavemen were drawing deer on caves (not really that long ago, But it's called Link Trading, and it's been done since God said "Let there be Light")


How do we measure Quality OUTSIDE of the SE's algorithms?

I guess you could say that a link trade on a website with content as equally comparable, or less comparable to your's (with also a high degree of traffic) would be considered a Quality Link.

If I were to do a link-trade with Revlon (which is never going to happen by the way) my site might earn for itself higher traffic because I have a more "credible" link, according to Google, Yahoo, or MSN.

Then again, this goes without saying; and it's something the lot of you already know much about.

But for the sake of the OP, I asked those questions in a rather open way.

This thread simply reinforces one thing.

NEVER, EVER judge the value of a link by it's guessed at SE "value".

it is the same.
Not expecting results

HEY!!!!!!

Some I've got news for you. It's been going on since the first page ever appeared on the Internet.

Or is this just another case of the clueless link building "experts" spouting more drivel??

That's what I was thinking. How is this new?

may be this is the next chapter of marketing.plz try it out and post ur result in this thread.

im not going to give all my secrets away but I will let you in on a little one.

Linkbaiting has worked well for me but there is a 3 step procedure that I follow and it has given me the ability to get traffic for months and months for about 10 minutes of work.
