    Google doesn't punish for this - just don't take both links into consideration. So, it's a waste of time.

    Mine went to N/A for a couple of weeks, and I was told on the Google Groups thingy that it was because of my link exchanges... This was disproven as my pagerank went up to 3/10.

    Page rank 3 is not high. Many semi penalised sites are PR3.

    Also, a site might rank okay with many link exchanges... but it might rank a lot better with none or very few.

    One way links are proven to be the best.

    yes they will be penalized if they get busted... an SEO company made news when it was stripped out of its rankings when it got busted.

    well think about it... if Google looks at inbound links as votes and you exchange votes then where is the credibility??few exchanged links is ok... but to use it as a link building technique.... then you maybe asking for trouble

    What i know is that google will only give credits to income links if it comes from a site relevant to your own niche, links that points to sites that are not relevant or points to online stores will not be credit therefore "penalize".

    We suspect we had a site de-listed from Google for a specific set of keywords (we cannot prove it obviously) because we exchanged 15 or so links (out of 150 total) with a bunch of spammy directories.
