In simple words, you link to my site and I link to your site. That's what reciprocal linking means.

Hey I also didn't knew about it thanks.

A reciprocal link is a mutual link between two objects, commonly between two website sure mutual traffic. Example: Alice & bob have websites. If Bob's website links to Alice's website, and Alice's website links to Bob's website, the websites are reciprocally linked.

It is the agreement bet the two site owners or webmaster to provide hyperlink within there own website.. Reciprocal Link may help to increase traffic on both sites..

Reciprocal links also known as ["link swaps", "link exchanges" and "link partners"] are arranged when two web sites agree to link to each other.It helps two ways:

1)They increase your web site traffic, from people who click on the links.

2)Reciprocal links also play a major role in boosting your rankings in search engines.

Thanks in advance..

Reciprocal link means submitting your site in other site which are related your niche (subject).you can also said link exchange.

A reciprocal link is if a site link to another website and that website links back to your website , so both of them gets small boost.
However, the search engines can easily identify which sites link to whom, so reciprocal links can be easily identified and are counted very little by the search engines these days that is why 3 way linking is considered more appropriate.

3 way linking is considered a triangular one way link between three sites.The three sites gets a strong boost, its looks more natural as site A is linking to site B, but getting a link back from site C.

Be very careful who you do reciprocal links with. I only do them with real businesses who offer value to my websites.

Reciprocal links means when you exchange a links from someoneI agree

How to set up reciprocal links

* Find GOOD QUALITY, complementary sites.
* Place a link to them on your site.
* Only AFTER you've placed a link to them, email the owner of the site a short, friendly note. Address him or her by name. (If the name isn't on the site, you may be able to find it at DomainTools.com.)
* Genuinely praise something on the site. If you can't find something worth praising, delete the site from your list.
* Tell the web site owner you've linked to their site, giving them the URL of the page where you've place your link.
* Ask for a link back to your site, suggesting a page where the link would be appropriate.
* Three weeks later, if there's been no reply, send a brief, polite reminder. It's easy for emails to be lost or overlooked.
* Use the phone and/or snail mail. A link from a good site is a very valuable thing. If you can't get noticed by email, consider trying a phone call or posting a letter. They're more expensive but also more likely to attract the answer you want.
* Keep an alphabetical record of sites you've linked to and requested links from. You need to know who you've contacted and who you haven't.
