Reciprocal link more imp than 1&3 way links

[shaad]

I have a discussion with my friend regarding reciprocal linking importance.He is telling like after Jagger Update google is giving no importance of Reciprocal link building only it is giving importance to inbound & 3 way linking. Is it correct. I got confused because the reciprocal linking will have more importance than 1 & 3 way link building.

Hi, if you were to take my opinion, i would say that 3 way linking is spammy and should be avoided at all costs, Google now gives less weight to a reciprocal link, but still some, one-way are by far the best but can be very hard to obtain.

All the best -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Reciprocal linking is still a safe option, and for most folks, the only real way to get started building links,other than directories, ofcourse.

3-way linking has been considered spammy for some time now and should be avoided. Using this form of link building will get you nowhere with the engines.

one way link is a good source for visitors, why would you link to someone to help their rankings?

reciprocal linking is used orginally to exchange traffic, changed a bit nowadays

three way linking has one purpose and one purpose only which is to trick the search engines into seeing one-way links, it's not for the visitors so therefore is spam

an example of three way linking is site A links to site B, site B links to site C and site C links to site A

search engines detect these soams most of the times.
