Thread: Smart reciprocal link building

Everywhere I'm reading that reciprocal linkbuilding is a bad way of building backlinks. However in the niche im currently working in reciprocal linkbuilding is the most common way.

But what if you just create a linkpage on an external server. Make nofollow ahrefs, make the page uncrawleble (not sure if this is a word), implement this in an iframe on your moneysite, make that page also uncrawleble.

Or maybe even better: create a .swf file with the links in it.

I'm aware of ''the fact'' that this isn't a very nice way to play the game. So just assume this is a theoretical case Would this be a good way to build reciprocal backlinks?

How could you a make a webpage which page can't crawl by SE spiders, through robots.txt then remember one thing robots.txt is not order for SE it is request.
And according to this method will not work.

Be careful with reciprocal link building !

If you want REAL quality backlinks that MIGHT affect your rankings (mostly it doesn't) the "partner" usually requires a certain amount of traffic to their site from your link. If you don't generate enought traffic they will just remove your link. Been there, done that...got the T-shirt. :-)

I stopped using this method, because the value of the backlink was never effective for my websites. If you're in a difficult niche to get normal backlinks (like adult content sites) it might be an idea to try and get high PR backlinks, which is hard to find.

Its good to start I think. However, for fast results better is just to buy few.

Hi,
Yes, even I heard that reciprocal links are bad because they drives away traffic from your site. So, try to avoid it.

Good tips for doing reciprocal link building. Found it very useful..

its worked not too bad for me, although requires lots of monitoring the other party hasn't removed my links

i never try this method because i don't want any irrelevant link appear on my homepage... i just want to reduce OBL as much as i can, BUT i would think twice if someone offers actual homepage link from PR6 and above.. however i don't think so its gonna happen
