No, this plan is extremely weak.

If you are a “technology blogger” and this is the level of question you are asking in 2025 you will never, ever make any money on your site.

Any type of backlinks are good, but they must be quality, merited and contextual that are topical relevant to get value out of traffic.

I think they will work for you.

Yes, it’ll work. I’ve seen sites perform really well with large-scale 1:1 link exchanges, but I wouldn’t overdo it if you’re aiming for long-term growth. Ideally, you want to do A-B-C exchanges, but that means you’ll need at least one other website.

That second site needs to be valuable to the other person, so you’ll have to put some real effort into it and treat it almost like a normal website, not just a link building asset. If it has organic traffic or at least a few solid backlinks, people will be much more open to exchanging links.

You can build it on an expired domain that had a previous website and still has some backlinks. You can get one for around $300 – 400, and if you set it up right, you can get a good number of link exchanges from it. If you want to scale things up, you’ll need to be proactive and send out a steady stream of emails every day.

Hey u/ManojOne

So Google does track link exchanges like A-B, B-C and C-A for example – as workarounds to inflating Authority.

It does work but its not very scalalbe – but definitely a starting point.l

Once you have authority and start getting clicks, clicks itself are a form of authority.

You can also do this via link partnerships, b2b networks etc.

Obviously links are just part of the system but the honest reality – and why I’m here – is that they idea that you build a website and people just randomly start linking to you is beyond bizarre and terrible advice. All SEOs know and test the impact of backlinks – and then shaping that across a site with in internal linking and on-page Relevance.

I’m strictly a white-hat SEO (hence my profile) and while I dont judge people for buying links, I dont recommend it either – so trying to help share advice.

Obviously a lot of SEOs work on sites with authority and I think they forget how hard it is – esp at the start.

Please feel free to ask most questions – I know the sub will help you

Direct 1-to-1 link exchange offers little SEO value and risks Google penalties.

A 1-2-3 link exchange (triangular linking) is safer but still limited

Note: Focus on contextual, Natural backlinks for authority.
