    I think you are referring to reciprocal links. Technically a reciprocal link is you post your partner's link at your website and in return your partner post your link at their website. No, google is not against and trading links is a great benefit to your site.

    Good call on the picture. And even Google Golden Boy, Matt Cutts has stated that reciprocal links are OK within reason. It's actually a decent way to find heavy hitting links so I would only grab GOOD ones and definitley don't create a "link partner" page, just trade for contextual links throughout your site if possible.

    Reciprocal URL means where we placed link of the partner on our site and in return partner also placed our link on his site.

    hi there

    According to my knowledge a reciprocal link is a mutual link between two objects, commonly between two websites to ensure mutual traffic.this is also called two way link building

    When web sites link to each other, either directly or indirectly through a number of different pages, a search engine might consider those links to be reciprocal links.
    Reciprocal links can also help to increase traffic to your web site in two ways. First you will probably have some viewers visit your site from clicking the reciprocal link directly. Secondly, most Internet search engines also take into account the number of web sites which contain links to your web site; the more hyperlinks to your site found, the higher up in the search engine rankings

    That's really weird.. I didn't think that Matt Cutts would say it's OK by Google. I thought that requesting a reciprocal link from users like in the case of directory submission is the same as link exchange which I believe Google is trying to minimize as much as possible to avoid manipulating its algorithm... so, it's a little bit confusing to see that Google is OK with reciprocal links, but is not OK with LE.

    Link from B to A is one way
    2 way
    Site 1=A Site 2 =B Site
    Link from B to A and Link from A to B
    3 way
    Site 1=A Site 2 =B Site 3 =B Site
    Link from B to A, Link from C to B but Not From A
    Thats all..

    Reciprocal links, are where you link to one page, and that page links back to you.

    e.g

    mysite.com links to yoursite.com
    and
    yoursite.com links to mysite.com

    Yes, you are correct. Google hates Reciprocal Link Exchanges but it's better to do 3-way link exchanges.

    Odds are they explain exactly what they are looking for on the form. ... Your reciprocal url is the web page which should contain useful links with whom you're going to exchange links. The reciprocal url often looks like a resource page. The links on the reciprocal url must be based on quality and subject relavency and not...

    Most website owners need to drive as much traffic to their website as possible. There are many different ways to do this and they all vary in their effectiveness. One of the most common methods employed is through the development of reciprocal links.
    A reciprocal link is when one website adds a link to another website on the promise of that website adding a link back. This means that visitors to either website may follow the links and end up visiting both sites.
    An important additional benefit is that the more incoming links a website has, the better its chances of appearing higher up in the Google search results. This is perhaps simplifying it rather as it the importance (or ‘pagerank’) of the websites linking to your own site also plays a part.
    Developing these reciprocal links is a very time consuming activity and generally requires you to write to lots and lots of websites. Try to make sure that the websites you request reciprocal links from are relevant to the topic of your own site. Be prepared to never hear back from most of those that you write to. There are a number of ‘link exchange’ websites on the net that allow you to contact other webmasters, but do not expect to find many websites listed which are particularly relevant or high in quality.
    Despite this, getting lots of incoming links is essential to the long term health of your website.

    All link exchange value will be the same, but 2 way + internal linking is good for pr.
