Does Google Penalize Link Exhanges ?

If we write a thread on link exchange and give out our blog URL Openly will Google Penalize us ? Let me know..


Thanks

I don't think Google penalises link exchanges but it probably doesn't give you as much benefit for an exchanged link as for a one way link.

 

Google allow Link Exchanges but Google penalizes site which contains excessive Reciprocal Links...

 

in my opinion, google ignores link exchanges. they will not ban you

 

No esidyo and if it is I would love to start lots of link exchange thread using my competitors URL.

 

for theme based website, google not penalize

 

They won't penalize you for exchanging links but the fact is that the link will not carry much weight to help on the PR side. Best is to work on getting one way backlink.

 

One way links are the only really usefull in my opinion, all these reciporial links don´t give you much except you have a good placement and get good traffic for it... But for PR it doesn´t really count i think..

 

What are your tips to grab those ?

 

I think google penalize's a site if that site is exchanging links with other sites,selling links, writing sponsored reviews,etc..
If your blog is a new one, there's no problem sharing your blog link in the 'link exchange thread's'.. but. if your site is a popular one with some good PR.. your blog will be in trouble.

 

How do google find out if we are selling links ?

 

I heard Selling can get you penalized but not exchanging, correct me if I'm wrong

 

So how do they catch us ?

 

Don't know if Google penalizes a site for link exchanges or not, but one thing is for sure, Google do not like Link exchanges done to increase sites ranking.

 

if peoples keep adding your site link on their website i dont think placing excessive link will harm you .. because thats what most directories do .1

 

One of my friend told me that excessive number of outgoing links can ban your PR

 

google tolerate only similar Reciprocal Links they can bann a site for excessive Reciprocal Links...so it's good and bad too..try to write and submit your articles to many articles directories like this one Online Article Directoryto get good backlinks..

 

Completely untrue! The fact is that link exchanges are valueless and Google treats them as such. It's always been the same, seek quality, inbound links from applicable sites.

 

google can ban anything that they think ruine their search engine, not hard to see that, so excessive links or selling high page ranked links for websites that are new/unimportant hurts their "real" search result.
