One Way Link Building Versus Recipricol Link Building Campaigns

Discussion in 'Link Development' started by pixel1, Feb 8, 2006.

  1. #1
    There has been alot of debate since Googles last change. I have seen articles saying the recipricol Linking does not have the weight it once did and that Google takes One Way Link Building with more importants. I personally due One Way Link Building Campaigns with good success but always looking for the edge if possible. Is there a real seperation between the two linking options that any one has seen.

    Thanks:)

    Yes,

    Quality 1 way links are from my experience much better then reciprocal links. Usually you are getting the 1 way link from a better page too, rather then from a reciprocal directory.

    This makes a much bigger difference.

    I don't really do much reciprocal linking anymore. I prefer to just do one way linking.

    I prefer to be saver than sorry at the end of the day.

    So link exchanging isn't such a good idea if you want to increase your PR?

    Except for me, because i just traded a bunch of links on a couple sites and there rankings went up, so it doesn't happen 100% of the time

    Reciprical links increase pr

    I personally don't do link exchanges any more. I find that one way linking seems to a better internet marketing option.

    I think one way links are better than reciprocal links (of course), however I don't think google penalizes you for reciprocal linking, unless you link to a banned site something like a link farm. my opinion is that one way links carry far more weight than reciprocal links

    As everyone knows, one way link is the best way. However, reciprocal is not bad even google may devalued them. Take a look, your site may devalued from Google if you reciprocal with
    1. site that not relevant themed to your site.
    2. site that banned by search engines.
    3. Link farms, Cloaking, Doorway, keywords stuffing, etc.

    but if you've reciprocal linked with site that relevant, it's should be pretty good. Most of us cannot pay to place one way links in all good directories, can you? The other ways is built organic links from some webmaster that like your site and link to your site withour asking. :D not happened too much.

    Cheers,

    Let me know if I'm summarizing this correctly:

    a) 1-way links are much more beneficial than recip-links.
    b) If you recip-link, only do it with a related site.

    How to get 1-way links?

    a) Directory submissions
    b) Article submissions
    c) Having good content that people link to (this sounds like it rarely happens though?)
    d) Pay someone for a 1-way link (ie through Link Brokers)

    Did I summarize this properly? I have been bad with my link-building. I pose the question to the experts here, how would you put together a plan for promotion according to the 4 ways to get 1-way links above?

    For example:
    Day 1 - main goal: Directory Submissions
    submit to dmoz, ..., ..., etc.... [ 3 hours ]
    Work on writing an article [ 2 hours ]

    Day 2 - main goal: Submit Article
    Finish writing article [ 2 hours ]
    Submit article to PR Web

    Day 3-6 - main goal: Write content for your site - hopefully something quality enough that someone would want to link to it (but not steal it)

    Day 7 - rest ;-)

    Week 2 -
    Some more directory submissions...
    Write more content.
    Submit another article?

    This is what I really don't understand -- how much can you really promote something? For example, how much time does it take to submit to all worthwhile directories? At what point, does the promotion you do become strictly content writing, and article releases?

    Thanks in advance.

    one-way links are best choice to start with...
    E.g being famous websites like Google, yahoo! or msn have very high PR for the fact that everyone likes to link to them (One-way).

    But there is no such penalty on Reciprocal links from Google.

    That's Right, One - way links are the best for getting rankings and making for your website more strongers in search engines placements. It will give you good PR as well as good rankings.

    So, Keep on One-way Links which includes directory submissions, forums signatures, blogs, articles etc.

    1-way links are better

    reciprocals links are good when it is with related and semi-related theme sites

    there isn't a penalty for reciprocals links. I see websites in the top ten in google for competitive keywords with almost all the links pointing to them are reciprocal

    But these reciprocal pages have good pr as well as quality content.
    If you place your reciprocal link on that page, then you'll be benefited
    unless there is no benefit. :)

    I find reciprocal linking to related-content sites is the best way to build traffic...

    Yes, I agree one way link is better than reciprocal link. Search engines count "relevant" one way link as 1 vote---- reciprocal link as half vote.....
