Has anyone used any link partnering services? Is it something that could end up screwing me with google or is it a reliable type of service?
Link partner is live yet. Don't think that links partner dead!!!! LOL. I have seen lot of links partners sites that are accepting links instant or reciprocal, three way but I don't love them I love to blogroll links that is very good and helpful me. I don't know that link partner's links are not bad but millions people hate them.
Link to a site that has relevance about your site or your product, and choose the ones that has good page rank. Your Page rank will be shared to those you linked with.
