Reciprocal agreements between sites to help boost each other's popularity
Web pages built to increase the number of incoming links to a website in the hope of increasing search engine rankings. Not to be condoned.
Link popularity refers to the quantity and quality of external links linking to a website. The more quality links there are the higher up the search engine rankings the site will appear.
Like dry rot, then, but less expensive. Link rot is the term for when links on a site become irrelevant or broken as the pages they are linking to have moved, been deleted or the content is no longer relevant.
Setting content up so other sites can link to it easily. It helps if content is funny, controversial and newsworthy but that's a given.
Frequent visitors to chat rooms, message boards and news groups but rarely join in the discussion. 'Voyeurs', the French might call them.
