reciprocal links?

Hi All,

Im looking for a reciprocal link exchange site. But most of the sites that I have seen are based in the USA and the sites listed on them are very poor quality - they look like they were made in the late 80s/90s

does anyone know a decent reciprocal link exchange site?

Thanks

SB

  • do you mean like an url redirect ?

    tiny url .com does that i believe, theres loads of shorturl sites on ebay that do the same thing.

    i might be offbase though.

    I don't think Google likes reciprocal linking any more...

    I read that it does depend on number & related sites, so a pure link farm is a no no, but if say site is about gardening, then links from local garden club etc are good things

  • thanks all,

    essentially im trying to improve the pagerank of my website. I've read on some sites that reciprocal links can help.

    If google doesnt like reciprocal links anymore what else can i do?

    I know that the following can help:

    -Relevant content
    -Related keywords
    -inbound and outboud links related to the content of the site

    anyting else that can help?
  • if your trying to improve page rank then please don't go for recipricol links, what you gain, you lose straight back out through the link you give them back.

    Google is very smart on this, the best way to do this is to get one way links! forums.digitalpoint.com you can get recipricol there if you wish, but i wouldnt. You can also get high page rank one way links there which will increase your page rank.

    Or you should hire an seo firm to do it.
  • I dont really have the budget to hire an SEO firm to improve my page rank. However i do think i can do this myself - its just knowing what to do.

    Any ideas on how i can get one-way links to my site from other sites?

    the best way in which to get one way links is naturally, create a series of press releases, you then submit this to a few press release websites and put links into the articles.

    my other favourite, is a news page, there was one phrases i see everywhere, "content is king" if you have a news software on your web such as wordpress, you can then have the site set up to replicate this bit of news on the front page, you can also submit each news story you write to sites such as digg and technorati
  • There are loads of press release websites. Do you know any which are good to use?
  • i use, sanepr.com and press release point as my favourites, mainly because these actually submit to google news too, so your pr could make it on the front page of google in the news snippet providing yoru title of the pr has keywords
  • thanks alot bigmacca ;)
