Hello everyone. Do I understand correctly, conditionally there is a blog on the site and an article is being written on it with a link to another site, in exchange for a similar article on another site, with a link to the first site. This is pure direct link exchange that leads to a manual filter for artificial link building? Previously, there were link scraps (in 2000th to the appropriate filter) with an exchange of just links, now they change articles, but the essence is still the same?
It depends on how "natural" it looks, how spammy the text is, the overall rating of your site and of the other site. If it's only 1 or 2 then don't sweat it, if you have thousands then you'll need to get rid of the outbound links on your site.
The texts are natural and there are 20 of them, out of 400 other domains referring. As I understand it, I need to abandon this method of promotion.
