Are You A Member Of Another Website? Exchange Links
If you have a blog or website, then you are probably a member of many other websites through reciprocal links. So, what’s the problem? Blogs and websites get penalized by search engines if they are found to have unnatural links in their content. To avoid this penalty, it’s always beneficial for website owners to check their site regularly. One way to do this is by examining the list of reciprocal links on your site and determining which one doesn't seem appropriate anymore. If you find that one link is no longer appropriate on your website, then it might be time to quickly remove or replace that link with another source.
To see what the reciprocal link is, you first need to know where it appears on your site. Use the following code to find the links in a specific blog post:
<a href="//tagged.com/"> [[URL of Page that does not have a reciprocal link]]</a>
You might have to change "[URL of Page that does not have a reciprocal link]" to your specific page you want to check. The point is that you will be looking at the page URL for the one that doesn't have a reciprocal link. If you see “http://” as part of the main URL, then this is how you know it's a reciprocal link. However if it ends with ".html”, then it's not a reciprocal link.
To get the reciprocal link, you need to see the URL of the page that doesn't have an appropriate reciprocal link. You can do this in the following ways:
Using a browser for a direct link to external website. Any browser should allow you to copy and paste a URL saved in your browser's history (temporary history) or clipboard. You can also go to another webpage and use the cut or copy-and-paste functions on your computer. If you have a smartphone or tablet, then you can add websites to your favorites by using a function called "bookmarks" on your web browser. However, you have to make sure that the site used for the bookmark will give you a direct link to the homepage.
Then, you would have to open another browser tab or a new browser window and type in the URL saved on your computer. You can also highlight and copy your web address when it shows up in your browser's address bar. You may want to use a special search engine if you think Google will pick up on this activity and mark your website with a penalty. In some cases, it could be hard to find archived links.
If you don't have an Internet access, then you can ask someone else for help such as family or friend who might have access to an Internet connection or computer. You should also check any backlinks using the same techniques you used for reciprocal links.
There are also some domain name tools and webmaster tools that you can use to find out your backlinks. Most of these are free and easy to use. However, you have to be careful of catfish websites who might try to sell or give away something with a hidden charge to your credit card.
One simple way is to go directly to the website of the search engine that your site is listed on. For example, if one of your links is showing up on Google and you want to check it out, then just go directly to Google's home page (www.google.
