Although I myself don’t do link exchange, I never oppose others to follow my way. I just encourage people esspecially bloggers to keep our blogsphere more organic! Anyway, if you still insist of doing link exchange, we can’t stop you. Only hope you take out those insincere link once you have reach enough traffics.

How to get Free Link Exchange?

Most probloggers don’t do link exchange. So if you want to get free link exchange, Spottt can help you. Spottt is a free way to trade links with other like minded sites. You show ads of other Spottt members, and they will show your ads. This is a win win situation. But as I mentioned earlier, this is not sincere or organic way of links. I rather leave my 125×125 private ads spot empty than use for link exchange. (more…)

I have receive more and more link exchange request. Sometime this is quite annoying but prove that my blog is doing well. If not, people would not want to exchange link with me. Maybe some of you curious why I don’t do link exchange? Well, in simple word I would say this practice is wrong!

Why I don’t do Link Exchange?

The main reason is I care benefits of my readers. I want all information I provide to my readers are clean, useful and pure. Secondly, of course is due to Page Rank.

Page rank is an organic measurement of usefulness of a website based on it’s incoming links. This measurement bring us useful and important information first, when we do Google search. This means link exchange will spoilt the organic usefulness of internet. It might dirty the information in this blogsphere!

Hence, the practice of link should be like this: if I discover website that I believe it would benefit my visitors, I link to that site. And, if you discover my blog and believe I would benefit your visitors, then you should link to me. If we both think our link is useful for our readers, then we should both link. No link exchange is needed.

What I say?

So next time if people ask me for link exchange, I will answer like this: Link to my site if you think your readers would find it useful or interesting, and do it without hoping that you or your site will benefit from the link.

What you say? Do you do link exchange?

Sometime we just decorate too much for our blog. This make our blog drive like a truck with 1.3CC horse power only. It is exstremely slow and make us lose our readers. Even I myself also don’t like to wait minutes for a blog to load finish. Sometime I just close it as soon as I read finish for huge loading blog.

So, how do you determine your blog loading speed? Use website speed test to test your blog loading speed and size.

As screenshot below, I have compared my blog speed and size with others probloggers. From the chart, you notice my blog loaded 45.45KB in 0.5 second. I am satisfied with this fast speed and small size. I have the smallest size compared to others. I tried to maintain this small size because I do not have dedicated server and my blog package was counted by transfer byte! Further more, my readers will happy to see my blog load fast.:)
