Tips for getting good and long standing backlinks:

  • Don’t ask links from websites with content that is not related with your content. They will think that this is a reques from a link farm and you will be ignored.
  • Always be sure you add the link of a possible partner before you ask him to add your link. Webmasters are busy persons and if you want trade links with their sites you have to show them that you make the first step. If you don’t get an answer leave the link on your site and after a few days / a week contact the webmaster again and tell him the date when you added your link. Then you will get a favorable answer.

  • Make a organized page link, don’t just put any link there in any place or search engines will think that your site is a link farm and don’t allow your link to be placed on that kind of pages.
  • If a webmaster who you asked a link tells you that your site is not good enough don’t be offensive, this the way to lose a possible partner very fast. Answer their questions and show your worry about that. If you still don’t get an answer send an e-mail for their consideration.
  • Answer quickly, once started a dialog about a link trade you should finish that exchange. Once finished show your consideration for the trade.
  • If a webmaster deleted your link don’t delete his link to, just inform him that you can’t see your link and ask him kindly to add your link back.

I am glad that you have said about “partnership”. This is very important in requesting a link exchange. After all, you would like to establish a good network, good friends and partners.

It is not mere exchanging links with others sites. A more professional approach is always the key to succeed in building inks :)

One-way backlinks are the best and the easiest way to get those is through directories. You should make sure they are good directories. Pay to get in the best directories and submit to the good free ones too. Also make sure your submission is in a relevant category.
