About FFAs, Link Trades And Reciprocating Linking
The original Free-For-All links page at 1NetCentral.com was created around 1997, and a lot has changed
about the Internet, how search engines "see" and evaluate links pages, FFAs and cross linking
with other site. The first part of this tutorial will cover FFAs as the webmaster sees it, then will come
recommendations about cross linking, reciprocating links and general linking strategies. Everyone seems
in such a hurry these days ... given that, you can just jump to the:
Top Ten Linking Suggestions
And, so, to continue ...
Long ago in the distant prehistoric past of the Internet there was this fun and
interesting little thing called Free-For-All Links page (also called FFAs or Free Links page). This was a web page
with a small bit of programming that allowed visitors to "post a link".
Web surfers ... those early, brave, adventurous souls who, in the mid to late 90s,
ventured about the WWW (world wide web) without virus protection, firewalls, privacy worries and never
heard of SPAM ... would visit web sites and if an FFA links page was
offered as a feature, leave a link back to personal web sites of their own.
Guest books, also a programming script where one could leave comments,
were considered a nice feature (and still are). But for surfers interested in
exploration, nothing beat a good FFA page for exploring new and unusual web sites.
The more popular web sites with an FFA page would post the last 100 links
from visitors ... dropping the oldest link in favor of new link from the newest visitor.
This was a great way to bring traffic to your web site and show off ones webmaster
skills and graphic artistry. It was all great fun and a great way to both explore the Internet
outside the box of search engines or search directories ... sorta' like traveling the back roads
and hiking trails rather than only traveling the high speed Interstate highways and freeways.
I have a theory ... anything that becomes TOO popular will eventually be ruined. There seems
to be some sort of universal rule of balance which states that too much attention is as bad as
no attention. As the popularity for Free Links pages grew, so did the problems. Jerks would
visit and "spam the links" by posting their web site on all 100 links available with the
unintelligent hope they could get ALL the traffic from other visitors ...
