    Reciprocal links are good but if provided from a quality site.

    Google may not like reciprocal links if they are not from quality to quality links.

    It was past when reciprocal link exchange was convenient and having some value. But i had learned on many blogs and sites that google nowadays doesn't considers reciprocal links or it is not giving full value to those backlinks.

    Reciprocal link basically means link exchange.

    Website A puts website B's link or banner on their website.
    Website B puts website A's link or banner on their website.

    reciprocal link's can be good if they're from high quality websites.

    Reciprocal link is not good in the eyes of google and other SE. Big search engine can penalize you for following reciprocal linking. So my suggestion is never do this thing. 3 way is the best way for linking.

    What about 3 way links? Are they beneficial or are they just as helpful as reciprocal links?

    I dont think so it can be penalize without a reason or to be just a reciprocal link, unless ur harvesting too many... good quality and meaning full should be plus, thats other case if its value has been decreased

    Reciprocal links are detected quite easily and unless you are doing it for traffic it will be frowned upon by search engines.

    oneway links are the best, if you go for reciprocal then prefer 4 way....

    It really depends on just how many reciprocal links you have, unfortunately Google doesn't state how many is too many!

    It depends. Reciprocal links are good if they are relevant to your site. Google gives weight to relevancy in linkbuilding.

    This method of traffic building is free. It just requires dedication and time to build up quality links with other sites. By taking the time to sniff out links that relate to you and sites that are legit can have some huge payoffs.It will increase your link popularity which is the search engines counting up how many times it finds your link on other websites.

    Watch out for scammers. One common technique the chinese are using is to give you a link on a page that is completely orphaned, dynamically created, and has no chance of being crawled or indexed. When you check the exact url they give you, the link is there, but there are not pages linking to that page so SE's will never find it.

    If it is a quality site we can put the reciprocal link.
