Today we release our Inbound Link Value Analysis tool. We are moving towards establishing a true market for exchanging links. Any market requires good information to function effectively. However, when two parties exchanges links one or both often can’t assess the quality of the link they are getting.

There a so many web directories available to submit to that it is difficult to submit to them all. Using a submission service can help. But if you are going to submit your website yourself it is going to take some time, even if you use an automation program. With this problem in mind we have put together a list of Free Web Directories that you should apply to first.

For as long as people have made websites they have also exchanged links. And they have used a system of exchange as old as humankind -- barter.

Hard as it is to believe, the people on the cutting edge of the new economy have been using the oldest form of exchange known to man. Trading links this way is time consuming and ineffective.

One of the main problems is that links vary in value. An established high traffic site may not benefit much from linking to a new site with low PageRank and few visitors.
