This One of the important factors in ranking well on search engines such as Google is ensuring that you have a number of links pointing from other websites to your website. It has been a commonly used strategy for improving your Google page rank, gaining higher rankings and being the envy of all your friends.These backlinks or inbound links tell Google that someone else thinks that your website is worth linking to.Reciprocal linking alone would get you ranked well on the search engines. The problem was that everyone figured this out and so many professional SEO companies abused the practice and setup massive reciprocal linking programmes.
Reciprocal links are Usefull for Link building
if
->They come from relevant sites
->The link you get does not come from a page with to many outlinks
->The link you get is on a page indexed by google
otherwise
Non relevant Reciprocal Links are Useless and Search engine does not count these.
There are justifiable cases of reciprocal linking between sites in the same industry that are probably justifiable, but an obvious pattern of a home appliance site linking to unrelated dog training and cell phone sales, etc. sites is probably a negative these days.
I think the best way to approach reciprocal links is to disregard SEO altogether and consider its value as a source of direct traffic. About 35% of my site traffic comes from reciprocal links from sites that are related to mine. As far as SEO is concerned I suspect that it still helps your search engine rankings as long as the sites are related.
Reciprocal links can help a little bit to improve your site ranking and PR , best is one way links try to get one way links these are best for your site,
Yes, Reciprocal links do help only when the two sites are of relevant content. Hope that helps!
won't help much
I'm talking about if I maintain a link directory for reciprocal links, will it help my page rank or is this an obsolete practice?
