I read that reciprocal link exchange is not a recommended service and also read that on taking advantage of the same, the site’s ranking in search engine will get affected!! I want your suggestion on this

Yes, Reciprocal link exchange is not recommended, instead you can opt for 3 way link exchange which is safe.

Who says? Don't get caught in that trap mate. Reciprocal link exchange is still huge. Do engage in it as much as you can. Also, do some directory submissions. They add loads of value to your site.

Use an army of bots if possible to do all that. Something like 5000 links from reciprocal sites and directories can give you enough boost to rank first in all of the below.

SEO Company India
Directory Submission Service
Social Bookmarking Service

Do that now and don't come back here until you're doing 150 link submissions a day. Come back then and share the good news.

Yeah... I'd be inclined to disagree with the above poster. Google has already explicitly stated that too many link exchanges are bad news. That means that even if they still work now, they won't in the future. If you want to build a long term, profitable business, don't build it on sand. Relying too much on dodgy linking practices is how webmasters end up losing half their income overnight when there's an unfavorable algorithm update.

3 way link exchange with relevant sites is effective. But one way backlinks are more effective.

**VirtuosiMedia** · 10-25-2010, 05:03 PM

No, they're not effective.

**TurboLizard** · 10-25-2010, 08:07 PM

google doesn't really place any value on them, but they can be good to exchange traffic between themed websites.

**full house** · 10-25-2010, 10:03 PM

yeah, because it doesn't look natural anymore... Google love natural links.

Well of course you have to disagree with me. I expect nothing less from a SEO worth his/her salt. Look at it this way, the guy who posted this question wants to rank for 'SEO Company India' and asks the community whether link exchange is effective. Essentially the post is nothing more than signature junk.

I'd rather have this guy who posted this question hanged somewhere nearby so I can throw stones at him when I'm bored.

Reciprocal link exchange works great to increase page rank, traffic, and the potential to earn money and make the site popular.Reciprocal link exchange is more popular among the small to medium sized sites, which agree to link to one another.

Honestly I won’t suggest link exchange When you exchange link, your website pr is leaking to the other party website in the same way their website pr is leaking to your site. So I prefer one way link building rather two way link exchange.

Reciprocal linking is about approaching the other in good faith and it is always a good proposition but not quite effective as other techniques

**taff fulller** · 10-27-2010, 11:00 AM

Well i agree this technique is not so effective unlike other techniques where you could see its worth and progress.

Hi,
That is true that 3 way link exchange is the best and it could be the common way of link exchange strategy...

The most effective way to interest webmasters in linking to your site is by offering to exchange reciprocal links. This is a win-win situation - both of your web sites benefit from new targeted, relevant links.

Reciprocal link building is also one of the important factor in SEO. It would definitely have the importance in google's eye. Because in reciprocal link exchange relevancy is one the important factor if your connecting thorough the webmaster for link exchange.
If your site is very contextual to the site which have a link. Definitely it would derive the traffic and enough link juice for your web site to perform well in SERP.

A reciprocal link exchange is an effective and efficient means of driving traffic and improving the search engine placement of websites.

It depends upon the quality of the site where you are getting your link from. Always try to target niche resources for reciprocal link.
