Link Crafter is an application that automatically finds pages related to yours, creates links to them, and notifies their owners that you have done this, inviting them to return the favor by linking to your page.

Links from other pages are one of the main sources of web traffic, and they are becoming increasingly important for other reasons. There have been studies that show the majority of traffic to web sites comes from people clicking on links from other sites. The search engines are also beginning to use the number (and in some cases quality) of links to your pages to assist in their ranking of your site.

For these reasons, and others, you need to have links to your site from other sites if you want to increase traffic to your site.

What is that worth? I can't really tell you that, it depends on your site and what you want the traffic for, but there are other ways to measure the value of web site traffic.

Let's use just one of those...

You've seen banners on pages all over the web, and many of these are paid for by advertisers. A ballpark figure for the cost of this advertising is about $1000.00 per 100,000 times your banner is shown. There are some places where you can advertise for less, and some for much more. The other piece of information we need is how many visitors this represents. A good banner will get about 1 out of 100 people to click it, so for your $1000.00 you have bought 100,000 / 100 or 1000 visitors.

That works out to $1.00 per visitor! So your 30,000 visitors from the example above would be worth $30,000 every month.

Don't worry, I'm not selling anything, I'm just showing you there is very real value in this application and what it can do for you. You might ask, "Why are you giving this away for free? Are you crazy?".

Perhaps.

In any case, back to the subject. Link Crafter creates pages containing links to other pages. Why would you do this? Maybe just to be nice, or maybe in order to get others to link back to you. What better way to show good faith in exchanging links than to link before you ask?

Once Link Crafter has created a link page, it will automatically send email to the people you linked to asking them to link back to you.

You can create as many link pages as you like, and do as many searches based on as many topics as you like. Link Crafter allows you to modify your link page's appearance, create different letters for different topics, and generally manage this whole exchanging links process.

In addition to the great benefits of creating lots of links to your site, you could also create huge opt-in email lists that you could use over and over, all for free. As you send requests to people to link to your site, Link Crafter automatically adds a little two-line trailer to the message telling people they can get Link Crafter for free by emailing YOU. That means you will have lots of people emailing you to find out where they can get Link Crafter. You could invite these people to join your opt-in email list (really, all you do is keep a list of people you can email. That's your opt-in list), and notify them whenever you come across something really cool and useful.

So, to summarize, what you're getting with Link Crafter is:

That, in a nutshell, is what Link Crafter does.
