Sorry if we are covering old ground here but before I am make a change I would be interest in gaining a little more info first from those in the know After a lot of work I have built up a reasonable level of relevant reciprocal links from other sites currently sitting in a directory on my site. Can any body tell me if this still serves any purpose (serps wise) any more or as some say due to the changing attiudes towards links exchanges etc, it might actually be having an adverse effect? (ie being judged as trying to manipulate the system) I do my best to check that all the site are linking back and are good neighbours etc but this takes a lot of time and effort so if its all now of no 'real' use would be best to file it all under the ‘back in the day file’ and concentrate on other things. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated. (again apologies if you have heard it all before, the force is new with this one)
