    As a submitter I certainly prefer Regular links. One way links are better for SEO.

    Regular links (one-way link building) is more useful than reciprocal.

    but Directories prefer reciprocal and they sometimes reject Regular links too. also reciprocal links take less time to validate.. isnt it?

    Some link directories are smart and give your link a nofollow attribute if you choose 'regular' link while submitting your website link(s).

    And, they give your link a dofollow attribute if you choose 'reciprocal' link. ( even without notice )

    And, the webmasters of the directory takes longer to review a website if there are reciprocal/price/regular options and you choose the one that offers not much benefit to the webmaster of the respectful link directory.

    So, my conclusion has to be that reciprocal links are better than regular links. ( If there are other options that benefits the directory owner, by the way )

    Regular, a reciprocal is more bother than its worth, for both submitter and directory owner.

    I would always prefer regular links but then... a reciprocal link is more likely to get approved for listing... a lot faster, giving an immediate and more definite chance of having a fruit for your effort! :)

    Regular link does mean "one-way link" and it is an absolute better option compared to reciprocal. I would recommend you to reciprocal to sites that only worth enough. Be selective for your links partner and you will not regret later.

    If you can get a reciprocal link to a relevant authority site then go for it. It can only help. I don't think Google likes to see websites that have ONLY one-way, inbound links. The net is, after all, about sharing. I think it's a misconception that do-follow outbound links hurt rankings. It's really more about the ratios I think.

    A few on topic reciprocal links may be useful, try not to use a directory style format or a long list of links on a page. Try to make them look natural, place them in content.

    I certainly prefer one way link from directories that means regular. reciprocal links are not always logical. How many links can you put in your page if you really keep doing reciprocals. So If you get regular link you should take that. That way you can gain some SEO benefits.

    In Regular Submissions its Not sured that how much time that directory will take to approve our link............
    Free Link submission Directories take too much for approving that regular Link........where as if we are giving them a back Link then hardly it takes 1 week........
