Thread: Are Reciprocal Link Exchange Sites preferable?

I would prefer social bookmarking over exchange links.

Beg to differ with all of you.
Exchanging links is a valid way to get backlinks and page rank juice.

The problem I think is that you all are looking at it as who wants to be on an inner page full of other links.
And those are lousy ways to exchange links!

A good exchange is equal, front page to front page.

And search engines, google onwards, don't know you exchanged links with another site.

I prefer deep links in content to homepage links -- they appear more natural.

The only links which really annoy me are from links pages. Useless!

Link exchange or reciprocal links not be helpful in site results and apart from that it be harmful for the site. If you get links from irrelevant site to yours and that is with the low quality content then it be harmful for your site. But if you be stick strictly in exchanging links with the relevant and high authorised sites then it be helpful to you but that is little and not in more amount. But still google has suggested to avoid make use of reciprocal links for your site so it is advisable not to make use of this method.

Don't go for link exchange since most of the sites are not worth and it may affect your site ranking factor too. Try to get natural link which will helps you in a longer run.
