I've activated my site in the LinkBandit directory but Google
does not show any links to my site, why is this?
Although links to your site are instantly added to our other
member web sites after they approve you, it can take up to 2-8
weeks for search engines such as Google to re-index these pages
and show your link.

Will using LinkBandit.com improve my Google Page Rank?
LinkBandit.com cannot guarantee that any sites using our service
will see an increased PageRank but Google does use link popularity
as one factor in determining PageRank and LinkBandit.com will
certainly increase your link popularity.

I've joined other link exchanges, what makes LinkBandit.com
different?
LinkBandit.com is different because we do not provide "instant"
links for members and we require that members request and approve
link trades. This makes our service a legitimate link exchange
service in the view of Google and other search engines.
Other link exchange services that claim to provide hundreds or
thousands of "instant" links will most likely get your web site
banned by search engines. In addition, we also require that any
web site in our directory be indexed by Google so you can be sure
there are no banned or illegal web sites in the directory.
Our software allows you to select which categories and web
sites you want to exchange links with while other services require
that you exchange links with all their members. Exchanging links
with relevant web sites is known to improve your ranking in search engines.

Is LinkBandit.com considered a "Link Farm"?
No, LinkBandit.com is a member directory which is edited by humans
and which allows members to exchange links with one another by
requesting and approving link trades. Our directory is comprised
of thousands of web sites in over 60 categories. LinkBandit.com
members can browse our directory and select which members they
want to exchange links with.

I only want to exchange links with certain types of web
sites, is this Ok?
Yes, our custom software allows you to exchange links with only
the web sites and categories that you want.

Are there any type of web sites you do not allow?
Yes, we do NOT allow the web sites containing pornography, racist
information, warez downloads or illegal content. In addition, we
do not allow FFA or Link Farm sites. If you have a questionable
web site, please
