What is 2-Exchange.com and what good could it do to me? You might ask your self that question when you first arrive at our site, and that is what we will try and explane in short here.
What 2-Exchange is NOT
We are not another general directory, some of those who can sometimes worsen your PageRank
2-exchange.com don't exchange links with you, we help you exchange valid links with other relevant webmasters
We are not some kind of smart new Black Hat system
We are not an automated system that forces you to take in links from other sites
We are not something that you implement (script) or install on your site
We don't take money for our service
2-Exchange.com Is
2-Exchange.com is a tool that makes the process of link trading more secure, more effective, much easier and less time consuming. To be able to describe to you what 2-Excahnge.com basically do, it might be easier to explain some of the things that you actually have to do yourself first.
What You Still Should Do:
You should still take decisions on whether or not you would like to trade link with a subject, when we present a link proposal to you from another webmaster
You should still implement or remove links manually on your reciprocal page, when trading, we don't do it for you ;).
What 2-Exchange Do:
We try to make sure that only serious link exchange proposals reach you, sites with the right PR, email verification etc. are checked, before you are informed about a potential link exchange opportunity.
If you deny a link exchange request, the applicant (webmaster) who submitted will never be informed about your website information, email or any information that could compromise your anonymity.
If you approve a link request, the applicant automatically receives the link back information for your site, and you will not hear anything before we have found your link on his reciprocal site, then you will get an email with the instruction for your link back to him.
If you trading partners PageRank suddenly drops to 0, you will get an email about this issue
If we don't find a link back to you from one of your partners (we look on a daily basis), you will be informed by mail
We provide you with a Control Panel, where you can get an overview of all your sites, and all of your link trades
So, you still need to do the manual work of setting up and remove links on your site, but then we will do the rest.
How Does It Work?
There are two types of trader services, the submitter and the account holder or site owner listed in our directory, below are the basic steps of hoe to get started
Type 1, The Submitter
If you just want to submit to some of the sites in our directory, it is pretty straight forward.
Navigate to the site, or search for a perfect match to trade with
Hit the "Exchange Link" link, and fill out the form
Confirm the email message that you receive, that's it.
Type 2, Account holder listed In The Directory
If you want to make full benefit of our service and you would liike to get listed in our directory, you should do the following.

Ex. of submit form: http://2-exchange.com/add_url.php?cat=51
Our system
Our system is pretty complex in it's structure, so to give an idéa of how it works in it's basics it might be better to illustrate it than write about it. Here's a drawing of the system.
Why Was The Service Made?
If you have traded link for some time, you have probably experienced some of the following
After agreement of a link trade, you never see you link on the agreed reciprocal page
You always forget to look for your link on your partners sites, after a while.
You contact a webmaster with a link request and never hear anything back
You never know what requirements are necessary to submit and be approved
You always forget to check PageRank before submitting
You can't find anywhere to submit you link
One day you are going for a routine check to see if you can't find your link, but you can't, and your have been removed without notice
It is hard to find really qualified sites to exchange with. Most of the sites you can come in contact with are just Link Farms or general directories
You hate to submit your email address to 100 of different sites, and it also seems that you are getting more and more junk
This is just a few of the reasons why this project started.
How Does 2-Exchange.com Benefits Of This Service?
The only way we benefit of this service, is when you provide a reciprocal link to your own sites info page here at 2-Exchange.com. Why should I provide a reciprocal link to my sites Info Page? When you link to your sites Info Page, you give a potential link exchange partners a good technical overview of your sites specifications like PageRank, minimum required PageRank of their sites etc. And you also give them a fast, secure and easy way to submit a link exchange request to you. When a potential link exchange partner submit a link exchange request to you through the submission form, he is also registered in our system as a partner to you, and we will then be able to check his site for reciprocal link to your site, and other relevant information like PR drop, downtime etc.
So, in other words it is very essential that you encourage potential link exchange partners, to submit their link exchange requests through your submission form here at 2-Exchange.com, and it is also much easier and less time consuming than negotiating over mail and checking if you link has come up yet or if it has been removed again.
