Top 10 Tired Website Ideas: Links Pages
Links pages are a left-over from the days before search engines. With the popularity and easy accessibility
of Google, Yahoo! and other search engines, links pages really don't serve any meaningful purpose.
Links pages are maintenance-intensive.
Our experience suggests that most clients are unwilling to pay for the link-checking and research necessary
to keep them current. Links also give website visitors ample opportunities to leave your website.
Of more concern, is the trend towards sites with questionable content buying expired domain names. A link to
one of these sites can have a very negative effect on your search engine page rank.
Just say "No" to Links pages.
