What You Should Learn About Reciprocal Linking

This is a subject matter that everyone seems to be arguing about at the moment. Everyone trying to be able to second-guess Google's actions - that they can will never do - and thinking whether reciprocal connecting is dead, dying or if at all something worth hauling on.

Enough of the actual speculation. Here's the evidence. Google do nothing like reciprocal link directories and in addition they can sniff a single out a mile off. There was a link directory on my own site until not too long ago, but I have removed it, because it had become as useful as being a chocolate teapot. Whilst the main front page from the site has kept it's Google Pagerank of PR5, in one with their last updates, Google relegated in which directory, which had furthermore previously had some sort of PR5, to a PUBLIC REALTIONS 0. Meanwhile, I had not altered my linking structure that pointed with it. I had definitely not altered my policies either: I did not url to any PR0 websites, kept the variety of links per page because of a minimum and there were even text descriptions for every entry listed. Google could tell what it turned out and acted because they saw fit. The game has evolved because of the latest Panda update and even though edu links, contextual links, and several other backlinks still carry weight, some link building techniques are much less effective than before.

There's simply no point wondering or whining about this. They can and they're doing so to be able to provide better brings about searchers. You can like it or lump it, but if you want them to give you decent listings, ranks or post you any traffic, their rules rely. My advice: forget *artificial* reciprocal backlinks completely. The time arrive at maintain the directory, approve and disaprove marketing (mostly the actual latter, because the solely people still asking for links are very poor PR0 sites as well as spammers) may be much better invested.
