SEO question, where do YOU put your links?

[istanboys]

I'm wondering on which page(s) of your (pay or avs) site you put your links. I think that most webmasters don't want to put links on their site's index page because search engine traffic is high quality traffic so webmasters don't want to loose traffic to off-site links (or is this something from the 'old days'?). On the other hand I think that the page that contains the links is the page that eventually will get the best position in the search engines. Which I suppose would mean that you might as well put your links on your index page because the se traffic will end up on the page that contains the links anyway.

I'd like to know where you put your links and if you have some systematic way for it. What is your method?

If you have a paysite with an affiliate program then I don't think you'll want off-site links in your tour on a page that can be accessed in the tour (affiliates wouldn't appreciate loosing traffic). In a case like that, do you put your links on your warning page? Or do you create one or more galleries or whatever that's outside the tour and put your links there?

Do you always put your links on one page or do you have several pages with links? It's probable better to have 6 pages with 25 links than one page with 150 links?

Do you put your traffic trade links on the same page as your hardlink trades? Or do you keep different types of links seperated from each other?

Do you have some kind of systematic way for placing your links on certain pages, how many links you put on one page, how many pages with links you have, etc?

I know I'm asking a lot of questions, for once I just would like to figure out what the best method is. I like to work systematically, so I'd like to apply the same method on all my sites, I just don't know what the best way to do it is.. Any advice appreciated

If you own a big network of sites, sending visitors to your other own sites isn't really a problem (as long as they're in the same target market etc etc).

Link bait is where its at. But in adult sites its harder to make...

Why is it harder to make in adult sites?

Cos no one is gonna pickup linkbait from an adult site.
In mainstream it´s much easier. The people at digg are so predictable...
