Reciprocal Links – Almost a Waste of Effort
Reciprocal links are still of some value, providing the link titles are
explicit, and if the page they link to you from has a higher Page Rank
than the page from which you link to them. The concept of a link to you
being a vote for you, and being added to your site’s Total Vote Count
has a flip side. A link from you to someone else essentially deducts one
vote from your total vote count… meaning its value is minimal when
compared to a 1-way incoming back-link!
Now I realise that you’re talking about Google …
But in terms of ongoing success for a website this headline is so far wrong that it merits comment.
I get 90% of my traffic from reciprocal links – and for my main site that means around 120,000 visitors a month !!!

Reciprocal links with quality and related sites is the best possible way to grow your site exposure – and surely is the sort of thing that google thinks this mythical “3rd tribe” you mentioned should be doing ?
This creates clusters of related content – as as I see it is EXACTLY THE WAY THE NET SURFING EXPERIENCE WAS MEANT TO BE.
IMO : Reciprocal links to quality related content is our ONLY linking strategy, and we display around 1.5 million pages a month now.
