Reciprocal weblinks

[Perkins]

Would anybody like to put a hyperlink on my website in exchange for putting my link onto theirs?

 

It will improve web presence and boost search engine results for us both.

 

The link doesn't have to be findable by normal means i.e. the links page can be detached from the rest of the website e.g. here

 

PM or email via the website

 

cheers,

As far as we are aware, recip links have no value for SEO. Google has very sophisticated ways of working out link exchange setups. Some even say it's negative as you are linking off your site which takes weight away from your pages.

 

Don't mean to stick my oar in but we live and die by google results in our business.

Thanks for your input Stereo,

 

I'm looking into this currently. As far as I can tell, reciprocal links used to be very beneficial but are less so these days. Search results are partly weighted towards website popularity, defined as the number of links that lead to a particular page/website, but as you rightly point out, Google fathomed this out and doesn't reward reciprocal links as heavily. One-way links are still beneficial.

 

Anybody want to put my links on their website in exchange for....erm....nothing?
