 * **Ignore the WordPress version, it seems to have removed the word Beta from it.
   It is meant to be 3.0 Beta 1. Anyway, this isn’t directly a WordPress issue but
   I had to list one.**
 * Hey all,
 * I was just wondering on how you lot get link exchanges. In the past I remember
   it was quite simple to just e-mail another blog owner and setting up a link exchange
   but that doesn’t seem to work nowadays as people don’t seem to like linking to
   each other.
 * So you lot got any ideas as the only other idea I have is to link to a website
   and see if they hopefully may link back. I am getting quite alot of link backs
   via people quoting my articles so that’s all good, but I just miss the old fasion
   link exchanges 🙂
 * Any advice on how you get link exchanges, do let me know.

 * Hey,
    I would be careful on who you are linking to your site, as far as i know,
   if you have “bad” site link in your site, google will not like it.

 * The thing with link exchanges these days is that they aren’t quite as effective
   as they used to be, simply because Google discounts the value of a link when 
   it can detect that it’s part of an exchange. The more one-way links you have 
   pointing into your website, the better.
 * My main blog is called [Tea Finely Brewed](http://teafinelybrewed.com/), which
   is in the rather small niche of tea blogs. I managed to set up quite a few reciprocal
   blogroll links, but one of the things I’ve also found effective is to ask people
   who’ve linked to you before to link to a new piece you’ve written. Or if you 
   know someone in the same niche or a related niche, ask them if they can link 
   to one of your posts that’s relevant to them and their audience.

 * Already aware of that but thanks for the advice.
 * But thanks Ericdaams for your post, I will take that into mind.
