Hey guys I want to know from you all that did link exchange with a help of reciprocal directory submission still that effective, and if your directory gets approved do we have to work on it to index it or let google find it itself.
It is still very useful. People find in ineffective because there are people out there that will drop your link after a couple months. That's you need a tool to check them on a ongoing basis and get notified what links are down.
disagree completely. Tested it, including monitoring the links, and for the time taken organising and posting links you can have created far more in other ways. A shame, I really liked the idea, but in my experience reciprocal linking is simply not powerful enough to be worth the effort.
If you are doing link exchange with the related sites then it is useful you to get a quality backlink
honestly speaking directory submission is not that effective as before. Directory submissions helps in getting high rankings but not that dominant as before.
Some sites of higher page rank offer reciprocal link submission service. They make permanent link on their site. I think it effective to use it.
