FFA Pages Do They Work?

[MikeXP]

Hi Everyone.

I know about FFA pages (Free For All Links) but do they work? can they increase your Page Rank in google because its a link?
Also i decided to set one up for my visitors http://www.newbiedeveloper.resource-locator.com/links.html is this a good script?

My personal experience with FFA was that my Junk(spam)mail doubled

no Mike..
for a professional website, FFA is not recommended.. and yes the FFA links DO HARM PR on google..'

go about it the right way.. market exchange links with other quality sites..
you know the drill

:D

Thanks SiteTutor what do you mean about Harm PR? I was thinking that it would make it better because its another link :confused:

I was thinking that it would make it better because its another link :confused: Google penalizes sites on FFA pages (read more here http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2843.htm) as it's a "cheap" way of getting more link-backs but I dont think that Google penalizes sites owning a FFA.

I agree with sitetutor on the point about professional sites as I dont really think FFA pages are a good idea for professional sites.
