Hotel Links

Fergal C · 2003-10-29 17:48:10

I regularly get emails requesting that I include links to a large number of international hotels, from my website and offering reciprocal links in return. Has anyone experience of this and do they feel that there is anything to be gained or lost by including the links? Thanks, Henri

Would the links be relevant?
If the links are from quality sites then your rating won't be adversely affected. However, if the links are to 'link farms' or affiliate sites (ie. no original content etc) then it might not be such a good idea.
It's always a good idea to check their page rank too.

Blacknight,

Thanks for your reply. Most of them appear to be what you term "link farms".

How can I check their page ranking?

Install the Google toolbar.

Link farms are usually bad news by the way
