Reciprocals links are still good for backlinks but, you can also lose your valuable visitors.

That's a very good point. Any outgoing link has the potential to lose you page views and even result in bounces if it sits on a popular landing page.

The value of any outgoing link should be balanced against the risk of losing the visitor comletely.

Seems to me that placing a link to a competitors website would be the pinnacle of stupidity. Why anyone would want to do that I don't know.

I consider that is more better the 3-way link exchanges as reciprocal exchange!

I agree with yoohee..


Link exchange still has a value.. you can get traffic to your website with link exchange on related sites

i think it's good source of traffic and backlinks for your site if you

link exchange in a high PR and high traffic relevant site...
