What makes Lavalinx different than all the other reciprocal link exchange systems out there?
Lavalinx not only offers a reciprocal link management system with features and functionality that far surpass the competition,
but it also offers triangle or 3 way linking and parallel link management. That means that you have one place where you can manage all your link trades.
Lavalinx has dynamic link placement functionality. This means that when trades are made, and approved, link details are automatically displayed on member's websites. Lavalinx also allows link traders to counter propose link trades, ensuring mutually beneficial link trades every time.
Lavalinx also creates an environment for safe trading, a place where you can trade links and not worry about being taken advantage of
by link cheaters. You also don't have to create a separate account for each of your websites -- one account can have a number of websites managed
by one webmaster. Our proprietary link trading and managment system is so unique and so effective in SEO that we have a patent pending.

FAQ top
Why do you have a ranking system for link partners?
Lavalinx provides a ranking system for linking partners to help webmasters know who
is good to link to. Anyone that does link trading knows that a number of websites like to cheat on links. Lavalinx gives
a great incentive to honest link partners because they'll rank better, thus more webmasters will want to exchange links with them.
FAQ top
Do I need more than one site to do 3 way or triangle trades?
You do not need more than one site to do 3 way link trading, but it certainly increases your options.
In order for an account with one site to enter into 3 way link exchanges it must trade with accounts that have at least two sites.
If you have more than one site, you do not have this limitation.
FAQ top
What are sending and receiving pages?
Sending pages are the pages in a website that send links, usually called link pages or resources pages. Receiving pages are pages
in a site that links are pointed to, usually homepages or other main pages in your site.
FAQ top
What happens when you enable/disable sending and receiving pages?
When you disable sending or receiving pages they no longer show up as a page that can send or receive a link in the link wizard or in the Lavalinx network. For example on sending pages you might want to disable trading on pages that have reached a maxium number of links.
FAQ top
What are external trades?
External trades are all link trades made with sites outside of the Lavalinx network. You can either save trades you've already made
for management or link checking purposes, or you can email link trades out to other webmasters.
FAQ top
What are sending and receiving sites?
Sending sites are sites that only send links out, or provide backlinks for other sites. Receving sites are sites that just receive backlinks from other sites.
FAQ top
What's the difference between a static and a dynamic sending page?
A static sending page is a page that would require being updated manually through ftp or another method to update your web page with link trades. A dynamic
sending page automatically posts link trades to your web page.
FAQ top
Is Lavalinx another link farm?
Lavalinx is built to facilitate link trades with the most relevant websites and/or web pages to your site's industry, product or service. Relevant link trades are always good for the user and their experience on the internet. Lavalinx is NOT about spammy link trading and/or FFA link pages.
FAQ top
I'm afraid to use a link trading system, will the search engines penalize my site?
Why would the search engines penalize a site for making the internet a better user experience? Lavalinx is all about relevant links to relevant sites.
But having said that, we do try to keep our users completely anonymous. Unlike most link trading systems, Lavalinx' network of traders is behind an account login, where the search engines can't get to it. Our dynamic link placing functionality works server-side, and there are no comment tags or references to Lavalinx. Also, Lavalinx does not create link directories or links pages on your site (which are a pretty good sign of link trading). Lavalinx is built to place contextual links in content pages.
When using Lavalinx we also make a number of recommendations for savvy triangle and parallel trading. Parallel link trading is particularly safe, because the only relationship that exists between the four sites is behind an account login in Lavalinx.
FAQ top
Lavalinx does blog link trading?
With runPHP and Lavalinx you can now place contextual link trades in your Wordpress blog. Blog link trades are especially effective for the following reasons:
- Blog entries can be syndicated
- Contextual links in a blog are some of the most valued SEO backlinks
- Blog entries are archived
- Blog entries are searchable
FAQ top
Isn't triangle and parallel link trading just a way of cheating search engines?
For webmasters with a number of websites it's about options. A webmaster that has a number of websites, with different themes, can ensure that each link trade is is placed on the most relevant web page for the trade partners.
FAQ top
Do I need to put code on my site?
You do NOT need to put code on your site to use Lavalinx. However, if you want to enjoy dynamic link trades, where each link trade is automatically posted to your web pages, you'll want to make your Sending pages dynamic.
FAQ top
What is a Social Page?
A Lavalinx Social Page is any page in your site that you want bookmarked in social sites. You can bookmark these pages yourself with our easy-to-use bookmarking wizard, or you can initiate social bookmarking trades with others and have them bookmark them.
FAQ top
Why should I bookmark my pages using Lavalinx?
Current bookmarking tools help you to effeciently bookmark your own pages on multiple social sites, which is great if you want to fill your social accounts with all of your own pages. The problem with this is that, by bookmarking too many of your own pages, you'll eventually be marked as a spammer by most of the social sites, and could get your account banned.
With Lavalinx you have the option of bookmarking your own pages, or entering into social bookmark trades that would have other users bookmark your pages. For social bookmarking, this gives Lavalinx a huge advantage because now your social accounts will be filled with diverse, interesting pages from other users, and you will be getting other users to discover and vote on your pages.
FAQ top
How many social sites can be involved in a bookmark exchange?
In a social bookmark exchange you are only limited by the number of social sites you and your trade partner have. In a each trade scenario an equal number of social sites are used for fairness in trading. If you have 10 social sites and your trade partner has 10, you can trade with up to 10 social sites in a single trade. If you only had 4 social sites and your trade partner had 10, your trade would be limited to 4 social sites.
FAQ top
Does social bookmarking help my organic rankings?
Yes! Most of the social sites that have been added to Lavalinx give you a hard "dofollow" backlink.
FAQ top
Does Lavalinx automatically add links to social sites?
No. All links posted to social sites are made via a wizard that populates your page information into a submission form. We make it easy as possible, but it is not automated.
FAQ top
What's the difference between a Public and Private social bookmarking site in Lavalinx?
All social bookmarking sites in Lavalinx marked as "public" are social sites that offer a public and spiderable user account. Because these sites are spiderable Lavalinx can verify that social bookmarks have been made or not. So, in a social bookmark exchange we can verfiy that both parties fulfill their side of the trade.
All social bookmarking sites in Lavalinx marked as "private" are social sites that can be used for your own bookmarking, but cannot be used in a social exchange.
FAQ top
Does Lavalinx keep track of the pages bookmarked?
Lavalinx will keep track of all the pages you bookmark yourself and the bookmarks that are received via trades and exchanges. Lavalinx also keeps track of which social sites your pages are bookmarked on ie. StumbleUpon, Digg, Mixx etc.
FAQ top
How many social bookmarking sites can I submit to?
Right now Lavalinx has 94 social bookmarking sites, but we are adding more weekly. We make every effort to add social sites that will either have social traffic value, or SEO link value.
