    3 way is better unless you plan on marrying the girl.

    Hi....
    My suggestion is Three way linking is not better than the reciprocal Link...
    Bcoz Reciprocal Linking is Permanent linking....
    thanks...

    If the reciprocal linking is relevant to the content of your site, I agree.

    If the linking is not relevant, expect it to be devalued, soon if not already.

    It seems we have gone from "relevance of a link is needed to rank well", to
    "relevance is needed or the link will not count".


    What did I miss that made this difference?

    Is this concept based on recent patent applications?


    thanks,

    No. I don't pay as much attention to patent applications as many seem to. Rather, it's based on various comments from Google insiders and my own observations over the past couple of years.

    1. Google has long made it clear that they would like to find ways to discourage link-selling/PR selling and artifical link exchange schemes

    2. Google clearly has the technology to determine page content and hence relevancy

    3. Google has long shown an interest in applying filters to certain kinds of incoming links and continues to make efforts in that direction

    Conclusion: Google can weight relevant links higher than non-relevant links. They have the technology to do so and the will to do so. I believe they've been doing this for a while and that the filters for relevancy will only become more aggressive as time goes on.

    Fact? No. Not in the sense that I have any direct evidence that would convince anyone who doesn't want to believe it.

    Reasonable speculation? I think so.

    I read the google patent, and minstrel is correct. Now, reguardless of relevancy the links will count towards page ranking, but will do little for the serps if the link isn't relevant.

    What's relevant? Google explained that when determining relevancy it takes into account the anchor of the backlinks going to the page your link is on, the text on that page, and the other outgoing links on the page.

    Example:

    Website has a PR of 7
    Website is about Ford Mustangs
    Website has a PR of 7 mostly because of inbound anchor's for "Ford Mustang"
    Website has all navigational links pointing to Mustang information

    Now, outgoing links from that website to other Mustang related websites will help the serps of those sites tremendously. On the otherhand, outgoing links for websites not related to the Ford Mustang will get benefit of the PR7 link towards their total PR, but will get little benefit for their anchor text linking for search results.

    This is how I interpreted it. Point is, if all you care about is the little green bar (maybe your a directory), then go for it. Otherwise, if your not getting backlinks from relevant content websites (or at the very least relevant content web pages), then the link is pretty much useless for search engine rankings.

    Folks,

    Will using a subdomain as a link directory help 3-way linking ?

    Or does you need links from exactly 2 different domains ?

    Regards,
    Tuning
