About Link Reciprocity

The term "reciprocal linking" means different things to different people.

True reciprocal links are those which link from site "A.com/index.html" to site "B.com/index.html" and from site "B.com/index.html" to stite "A.com/index.html". Index being the homepage of the websites.

More commonly reciprocal links are those which link from site "A.com/partners.html" to site "B.com/index.html" and from site B.com/partners.html" to site "A /index.html" Where partners.html is a page devoted to links. Not truely reciprocal as they do not link directly to and from the homepages of the sites.

In reality reciprocity can simply be an inbound link to your website's homepage exchanged for an outbound link from you to another website's homepage. This actually appears as one-way inbound links for both.

A great myth is that truely reciprocal links between two domains are somehow better for improving search rank than one-way inbound links. Quite the opposite is true. Any gain from inbound links has nothing to do with reciprocity. If you utilize link exchange software, it's refusal to accept or validate "non-reciprocal" exchanges was designed to prevent cheating by unscrupulous exchange partners who know the higher value of voluminous one-way inbound links and exploit this by simply failing to provide a link to your site. Most of these rather unsophisticated programs simply match domains and do not offer the possability of validating one-way exchanges such as ours. It is for users of these programs that we have provided the option of alternatively linkinkg to our exchange domain.

Another less than scrupulous exploit is to place ones link exchange on a page or pages which cannot be crawled by the search engines. This is done in various ways, but the result is the same. The site solicits and receives voluminous inbound links, but appears to search engines as having few if any outbound links. Since search engine page rank is believed at least in part to be negatively influenced by extremely large numbers of outbound links on a given page this strategy results in higher rankings for them and provides no gain at all to those "exchanging " links with them.

Another myth is that an inbound link from a lower ranking page will somehow hurt the rank of the receiving page. It is certainly preferable to have many inbound links from very highly ranked pages, as some search ranking algorithyms consider this a sign of the importance of your page. One-way links from these pages are better still. Inbound links from lower ranked pages do not reduce page rank, they simply do not provide as great a boost to your own page rank and links from these sites may not become a part of some search results. Google for instance no longer displays all links that it is aware of and it has been observed by some SEO's that it does not display links from pages having a rank below PR 3. This is of course the rank of the page the link is actually on, not the rank of the website's homepage.

All visible inbound links are eventually found as sites are being crawled by the search engine spiders, and will normally be followed by them. The more inbound links there are to find, the sooner a brand new website will be found and eventually ranked and listed by these search engines.

It is the content of your webite that will ultimately determine it's worth on the internet and thus it's ranking among search engines, not the size or arrangement of your link exchange. This is particularly true of "free for all" type link exchange pages which reciprocate links with a great many websites whose topics have little in common with your own, regardless of how they are categorized.
If you are selling jewelry you'll gain very little by exchanging links with an auto parts dealer.

Our arts and photography exchange domain is intended to be a freestanding reference for those who are interested in the arts and it is listed and ranked by search engines as such. Our exchange pages are all layed out in simple html and are visible to all search spiders. It is not intended to be a free for all link exchange or ad farm. Even those few paid affiliate links we accept on these pages must be directly related to arts and photography.

The future usefulness of link exchange to improve page rank is becoming more uncertain as search engines strive to place more weight on the value of a website's content then simply it's link popularity. Regardless, our exchange will continue to offer the benifit of targeted traffic to our link partners and a resource for those seeking links to websites of artistic interest.
