reciprocal linking

[Mini Mo]

hi Can anybody advised me that is reciprocal linking is good for getting high rankings or not yesterday i was going through one aticle and it said google considered it as SPAM it said that its a BLACK HAT SEO TECHNIEQUE help is needed. comments are welcomereagrdssimmiIt's not blackhat and it's npot spam. But if you are going to reciporal link only do it with a few highly related sites otherwise the links will be useless.i agree, it's not black hat. If it's from/to a related content and with good PR, it would increase your PR..Try gaining backlinks too and not just reciprocal.You should pay more attention to get more backlinks than reciprocal links.Its ok if you get reciprocal link but it should be related to your website and with better PR which will help you get good PR too.You can also submit RSS or blog submission.Or submission os articles will also be of beneficial for your websites popularity.Puneet.I don't really bother with Reciprocal links. I don't really see any point in them. I have tried them and find it much less hassle to get one way links and you can still find sites that have a high PR.Are you kidding me, it is good way to create good traffic and perfect way to get better pr. Google count reciprocal links but give them less power. But still... I really don't know who started this panic. All forums and article websites i just see posts like this.yeah reciprocol links on related sites are great at bringing targeted traffic. And targeted traffic is what it is all about isn't it?sergeyrusak wrote:Reciprocal linking works well if you choose the partner carefully and pay attention to where you are getting your links from. Also most experienced webmasters do 3 way linking, so Google has no way of knowing these are link exchanges. Every link counts. I will even go as far as to say that even if it is not related site those links help. If the backlink is from a high PR but non-related site, your PR will increase still. This is a proven fact. When your PR increases you will be able to exchange links with more quality sites and pages. Your bargain power increases and you can get links from related sites to help you better rank in serp.Linking for the sake of PR is something i would advise against. If google see a PR 6 site about cars linking to a PR0 site about gardening do you not think they will think it's a bit suspect? Why would this PR6 site link to an unknown new site that has a completely different topic? Google will give that link very little credit and you will be wasting your time.When it comes to links relevancy, trust rank and quality > PR. SERPS are what you want to increase, not PR. Otherwise you get caught in this PR game and you end up with a PR7 site that no one visits because it's never going to appear in the SERPS. So no one clicks your adverts and no one buys your products.If you only want to make a few $ from selling text links to other people who have got caught up in this PR fad then sure, Spend your time increasing PR.If you are serious about attracting visitors, Becoming a trusted site in your induustry and selling lots or products then you should be a million times more worried about SERPS.A site can link to an unrelated site for various reasons. It can be just design credit. Or it can be a co-venture of the same company. Also I would not overestimate the Google algorithm. It has to work within a flexible boundary too to match with the reality of how it is.And pr may not be very important for high ranking in SERP. It has 2 very important roles.1. Sentimental value. Still a lot of webmasters and site owners think PR is important for site value and ranking. Let us not forget the practicality here. I doubt anyone is very much interested in a backlink from a pr 0 site no matter how relevent it is. So as I said, even unrelated links from high pr sites give you a bargaining power to negotiate a 3 way linking with a quality related site2. A good PR like 5/6 indicates that the site is not banned and has been online for enough time to earn it. Thus, it has a good trust rank.The summary of the matter is ranking in SERPs is the most important factor, of course. But PR helps to get high ranking in SERPs.1. sentimental value is no value. It's only valuable if you are interested in exchanging links with other people who simply fail to grasp how unimportant PR is. I tend to stay away from them people, They oviously don't know what they are doing and i have no interest in linking to them from my site.2. pr 1 also indicates that a site isn't banned. doing a google search for the domain shows that the site isn't banned. You don't need high PR to see a site isn't banned.Quote:Quote:Quote:
