Reciprocal Link Partners Still the best deal in the game

It seems to me that this issue is getting a lot of negative press. Google this, Google that.  Well reciprocal linking has been around long before they raised the bar and sent everyone running around like crazy, trying to figure out what to do next.  I'm here to say that I'm a believer in reciprocal linking.  IMO it is much easier to get traffic to your site with a good reciprocal link exchange than it is to chase your tail trying to fit into what ever the current buzz is.  

It is wonderful if your the type of person that can write articles and submit them to article directories to get one way links. But as a web site owner ( I run Many sites) time is limited so I will take a reciprocal link in exchange for initial results. Chances are good that no matter what you do you still won't get a top 10 ranking for your keyword terms right out of the gate anyway. Why? Because you need links and the top search engine positions already have those so start with a reciprocal link exchange and add other kinds of links over time.

I've been successful at getting some top 10 rankings, made some bucks, but there is always someone that will optimize a better web page and get more links than you.   So I really do like reciprocal links because they have sent traffic to my sites.

I can't see Google banning reciprocal linking now that AdSense Publishers are making them so much money. Reciprocal links will be the best, easiest way to get spiders and real eyeballs to your website.

If you have hours on end to manually do reciprocal links, write new content or blog about your niche go for it. You can get creative and even finagle one way, three way or article link backs, The more sites you run, you will see the benefits to using a quick reciprocal link exchange to save your time.

Most of my sites are sales sites and not all that content rich so getting people to link to it out of the goodness of their hearts is not going to happen. So, what I am going to say here are my tested results. In short, the automated link exchange I have on my site does bring me traffic. On my AdSense sites as well, I have seen positive proof that this link exchange has increased the daily traffic as well as the click revenue.

In my mind any link that brings you traffic is a good one and somehow  I don't see Google objecting to my website bring them revenue. They don't expect everyone to know all the tricks, traffic strategies, or to have a crystal clear understanding of what they expect. So penalizing the reciprocal link exchange is silly thinking. Reciprocal links are good traffic exchange strategies and practically the foundation the web has been built on.

I run over 50 sites right now with more on the way, and for $4 a site I can get a lot of links to my site right away. It is true that you should try to get people to link to you for the joy of doing it but I'm telling you now, It don't happen easily if your a commercial website, selling something,  or have an AdSense ad showing.  So check out this reciprocal link exchange and sign up.  You will find link partners and earn $10 per referral.

There's a lot more to say bout reciprocal link building but I just wanted to rant on this for a spell.
