Link Glossary: Reciprocal Link Exchanges

Posted on Apr 7, 2008 in Affiliate Marketing |

Reciprocal Link Exchanges:

  • When two websites swap links to point at each other. Trading links with another website.

There’s a limited amount of success that can be had with reciprocal link exchanges. As one blogger wrote they are “so 1997”. Search engines do not give that much value to reciprocal link exchanges because you are sharing the “link juice” between the two links.  A great, legitimate way to get some reciprocal links is to just make some connections with other bloggers and throw links to their sites into your blogroll.  If they like you, they may reciprocate.
