Setting up a Affiliate Linking Program
-
Hello all,
I work for a travel booking agency that specialises in coach and minibus hire.
I am currently thinking about creating a Affiliate Linking Program to create some links for the business. So this could be a suppliers page (similar to a directory page) with details of related companies to ours. We can link to there site and they can link to ours - its win-win situation for both parties.
Is there a difference between a Affiliate Program for links and a business directory on your site?
Has anyone done something similar to this before? What are peoples thoughts?
Thanks for your help in advance - Aqib

I just want to add to what Roman has said; I might be reading into this incorrectly, but it appears that you might be under the impression that sites that link back and forth to one another are as valuable as Affiliate Linking Programs. I thought I should interject and just say that doing Link Exchanges has been proven to be detrimental to sites. I mean, just Google "Link Exchanges Bad" and you'll find an endless supply of articles on this...

Yes there is a big difference at least base on my experience affiliate will help you to sell not to rank or get authority as website
Example if I hire Peerfly to promote one of my products and 100 affiliates decide to promote my website or product google will count all those 100 affiliates like just one traffic source. In my case my main affiliate plataform generate 80% of my traffic using 1200 websites and in my Google Analytics Accounts shows me that traffic as one medium

Am I better off with ten links from one site or one link from ten sites?
I am writing a series of linked-back articles for a highly-ranked web publisher, but wonder if I'd be better off sharing the articles across different sites. My goal is to grow our domain authority and SEO rankings.

How to link build?
Hello all. I've been having intense conversations with an experienced SEO, who has told me that the only way to get consistent links to your website, and to build you business through the web is through blogger outreach, and then paying the bloggers to put your appropriate content on their high Page Ranking website. To me, this may well be right. But it sounds dull as anything. Any thoughts? William
