Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience using Linkmetro for article exchanges?

Is it a good service? Confused

Any input would be great!

Thank you,
Lisa

hi Lisa,

Yup I'm using LM for article and link exchanges. There are still a few bugs in their system but it's working slowly but surely. The largest disadvantage is the lack of sites that have taken advantage of the new article swap system. Most of them don't understand the value of these appearing as 1 way links, surrounded by relevant content with your keywords in the anchor text of the link.

How ever I have been thinking that possibly a forum for article traders could add a lot of value to. There are a lot of people out there that aren't farmiliar with the Article Exchange process but could benefit greatly from it.

If you're interested in exchanging articles with some sites PM me I'd be willing to do some trades with you as well.

Ihenman,

Thank you for letting me know your thoughts on Linkmetro.

If you don't mind my asking do you use the free version or the pro?
I am just using the free but I have been considering upgrading
to the pro. Just not sure if it will be worth the price.

Thanks again,
Lisa

Lisa,

I use the free version but I use it with a program I made called Auto Linkster.

It's a program that runs locally on your site with and speeds up the process with link Metro 10 fold. So I can add 100 links an hour vs. adding one uploading the page, pasting the URL etc. It's much quicker.

I just don't like paying monthly for something like that, and I'm not in complete control of my link partners. If I wanted to cancel my membership and stop paying the fee what happens to my links?

There's a link in my signature at the bottom, and a sample video on the home page you can see me using it with one of my sites. It creates a nice Directory on your site that you can completely customize to your liking, and uses all .html files so no messy dynamic URLS much easier for the SE's to crawl.

With this program and Link Metro I've been able to do quite well. Next is my Article program coming next month I hope to help simplify article exchanges!

Is Link Metro the service that I saw for a $1 trial. If so I am considering this in the future. But that was just to build back links. Take care.

I know this topic is a bit old, but I'm very interested in swapping articles too.

Has anyone found a forum or resource other than linkmetro for facilitating this? They're good, but it'd be nice to find something else as well.
