It's revolutionary... that's what it is! IncreasePR offers Websites of all kinds an automated reciprocal linking tool to make the job of site promotion easier.

*Sites that are similar to your own

*Sites that are lifestyle-oriented, or non-competitive
*And, sites that want to build traffic, just like you!

Link trading, sometimes called reciprocal linking is a web promotion strategy used by webmasters and site owners to increase qualified traffic to their sites. Webmasters search the Internet for other websites that have the same type of visitors and contact those site owners by email requesting a link trade. If a site owner agrees to the trade, they then link to each other's websites in order to share traffic.

Link trading does two things for your site. First it generates real, qualified unique visitors to your site. A visitor will see your link on the site of a reciprocal link partner, and click on it to come to your site. Second, reciprocal linking may increase your link popularity in some major search engines. Better link popularity helps your listing in these search engines to be listed higher in the list of search results, which then increases the amount of traffic you get from those search engines.

First register your website and upload express link directory on your server using our automated software. With few clicks you will be able to upload reciprocal link directory with many category pages for your website. After uploading express link directory, you will become active member of IncreasePR. You will then be able to use our directory structure for link exchange.

IncreasePR linking professional will establish the account, configure the link trade page to match the look and feel of the site, import any pre-existing links, and populate the account with between 10 and 20 link trade partners. And all this is completely free.

Yes. IncreasePR is so confident that you will love the service that we don't require you to commit to a term of service. Let's face it. Why would we force you to commit to a lengthy contract unless we were nervous you would not like it?

Absolutely. The beauty of link trading is that it is one of the best and cheapest ways on the Internet to promote ANY site. Whether your site is personal, recreational, informational, commercial or other, IncreasePR is simply the best way to trade links.

If you have spent much time surfing the web, then you have no doubt seen that most websites on the Internet have a page, or even an entire section of their site dedicated to links to other sites. These pages are often titled, "Links", "Recommended Links", "Related Links", "Related Sites", "Other Sites Of Interest", "My Favorite Links", or something along that line. Most webmasters and site owners use these pages to put all the reciprocal links they have traded in a central location. Sometimes webmasters have reasons for linking to other sites on the Internet without a reciprocal link in return, and these links are also usually centralized on a link trade page.

No. When you create your new IncreasePR link trade page, you will get new directory structure will be completely different from your existing link pages. You will able to do link building from both the directories simultaneously.

IncreasePR performs automatic maintenance on all hosted link trade pages. You will never have to worry about checking your page for dead links, link accuracy, policing partners to make sure that they have linked to you, or that they are still linking to you. If a link trade partner shuts down their site, or unlinks to you for whatever reason, you don't have to worry. The link to them from your page will automatically be removed. There is no maintenance. It is totally automatic.

You will have total control over the look and feel of your link trade page. For Webmasters or site owners familiar with HTML, you will have access to the source code of the page, and can exactly match the look and feel of the site. For those unfamiliar with HTML, IncreasePR has web-based link page creation tool that will allow you to easily approximate the look and feel of your site. IncreasePR will also make available a service to exactly match the look and feel of websites for those who do not have the time or the ability to do it themselves.

The old fashioned method of trading links (we call it "surf-n-swap"), while still effective, is slow, tedious and high maintenance. A Webmaster would spend several hours surfing the web looking for sites that would make good potential link trade partners. The Webmaster would then send an email to that site owner requesting a link trade. If the site owner responded in the affirmative, then they would both go in and manually add a link to each other on their link trade page. Each would have to check the other's site to make sure the link was added properly, and would have to check back periodically to make sure the other continued to maintain the link.

A Webmaster might have to send out ten or more emails requesting a link trade in order to find one or two willing link trade partners. Finding and establishing links with 50 willing link trade partners could potentially take dozens of hours of effort or more to establish, and additional time to maintain. Despite the time and effort required to trade links using the old fashioned way, link trading was still a great idea. However, most webmasters soon got frustrated with the effort required to establish and maintain the link trades, and gave up.

Link trading with IncreasePR is totally automatic! Finding willing link trade partners takes minutes or even seconds, not hours. Establishing links is automatic. You don't have to do any HTML at all. Maintaining link trades takes no time; IncreasePR does it automatically.

You could have dozens or hundreds of link trades established with just a few hours work. Link trades continue to bring qualified traffic to your site day after day, month after month with little or no ongoing maintenance.

Link popularity is the total number of web sites that link to your site. Good link popularity can dramatically increase traffic to your web site. Well-placed links are an excellent source of consistent and targeted traffic. And due to recent developments, they can even generate additional search engine traffic to your site. Many of the major search engines now factor Link Popularity into their relevancy algorithms. As a result, increasing the number of links to your site can actually improve your search engine rankings. There is still no one "secret trick" to getting good rankings, but boosting your site's popularity may give it the edge it needs. In a recent research article from ActiveMedia Research (August 3,2000) they found that Linking rated #2 on their list of favorable "Online Methods to Promote a Site".

IncreasePR is NOT a banner exchange! Link trading is a completely separate and distinct web promotion tool from banner exchanges. Banner exchanges are often unfair, giving you only one banner impression for every two you serve on your site. Link trades are always one for one! Links have proven to be five-times more effective than banners in driving traffic to a website.

No. IncreasePR does not allow any site that is abusive, harmful, threatening, harassing, hateful, vulgar, pornographic, obscene, or racially or ethically objectionable, or violates the privacy of any third party.

In addition to the above mentioned reasons that your site my be rejected for listing in our database, unfortunately we've come across other sites that for one reason or another we can not accept.

At the current time we are only accepting English-speaking sites. We do have an international strategy that will be implemented as we continue to grow, but until further notice we will not accept any non-English speaking sites. If you have non-English speaking sites please stay close and continue to visit the site often for any news regarding our international plans.

We will reject any and all sites that attempt to defraud IncreasePR through our affiliate program and no payment will received by the affiliate. We also reserve the right to reject sites that do not have the ability to link to their new remotely hosted link page from their site, or sites that have a copious number of pop-up windows.

Absolutely. Once you are familiar with the IncreasePR account manager, you could help your clients to promote their sites by setting up their accounts, configuring their link trade pages, and establishing numerous link trades for them. You could charge whatever you like for your time and efforts. IncreasePR will soon offer an affiliate program that you could join to receive additional revenue for the referral of each new account you establish.

No and Yes. Currently the IncreasePR engine only supports automatic link trading on link trade pages. IncreasePR has plans to develop new link trading tools that would allow automatic trades of newsletter links, links on pages other than link trade pages, affiliate linking options and more. Until then, you could establish your link trades normally through IncreasePR, and then contact a link trade partner directly to discuss other things you might do together outside of IncreasePR. In other words, while IncreasePR could not yet support the automatic linking portion of trading a link on, a front page for example, it is still a great resource for you to find partners willing to do front page linking. If you find a partner through IncreasePR to do front page linking you must maintain them as a trading partner on you IncreasePR link page as well.
