Thumbs down Dont get drawn into this

Thought I would like to share this with you. Do not try this at home, I did this at the risk of one of my sites being banned through experimentation.

In the interest of trying a number of tools to gain PR, Link Popularity and traffic I thought I would try a Link Exchange offer on a site I came across - I immediately thought this was too good to be true, and YES IT WAS.

The site is freerelevantlinks.com (dont try it, it's a waste of time). The site starts by saying
Quote:
Forget about a traditional free link exchange where you get non-relevant backlinks! We are the fastest growing free link business on the web. Word is spreading about our free links that are relevant. We are guessing that you are looking for the following:

It is supposed to work by placing 5 links on every page of your site (mistake: Google considers this spammy). In return a link to your site will be added to the bottom of a page on another site. The longer you stay in the scheme the more sites link back to your site. OK so give it a try. In the members area the links back to your site can bee seen, if none then you see:
Quote:
Currently, there are no websites pointed to your website. This should change within the next 30 days. If you do not see any links after 30 days, please contact us and we will try to help. Customers that stay with the service for the long term will be rewarded with a higher weighting and receive more links than everyone else.


So give them a chance, more than 60 days passed, no links, contact them to see what's going on! The contact page says:
Quote:
Due to the overwhelming popularity of Free Relevant Links, we are no longer able to answer individual questions. Please read through the FAQ page to find answers to commonly asked questions.

FAQ page tells you what ypu already know - contact admin for help.

OK no links, no contact - must be SCAM!!! Don't be tempted to use this site, it doesn't work. Links now removed from my site!

Default Re: Dont get drawn into this

I saw someone advertising something like that here a few weeks back. Thanks for the heads up, I'll be sure to keep away from them.
