Reciprocal Linking

[joaquin]

Once again I am asking if anyone wants to exchange links with me.
My site is Bad Breath – Solutions For Bad Breath
I will only exchange links with you if your site is a health topic site and you are only linking to other health related sites.
My home page has a PR of four.

Probably not Boris, but we could link anyway, as there may be SEO benefits. I don't know.
Some Linking Information I Found... Not Sure Of Accuracy Of Statements Though
There are some basic rules to follow when exchanging links:

Relevancy is more important than PageRank
Check and make sure the recips aren't being blocked
Link pages with more than 50 links aren't worth exchanging with
Prepare for the future
Relevancy
Many Webmasters focus only on the PageRank of a website when deciding whether to exchange links with it. Without a doubt PageRank is important however more important is whether or not that website's content is related to yours. There are two reasons for this:

1. The algorithms are changing to take into consideration the relevancy of links. A link from a relevant PageRank 3 page will be considered more valuable than a PageRank 5 link from a totally unrelated site. Some predict that unrelated links will soon be given little or no weight whatsoever.

2. Believe it or not, Google is not the only search engine. PageRank is Google's ranking of the value of a site. What Google gives a 3 out of 10, Yahoo! may give more weight to.

Basically, after a series of tests we have determined that links to related sites will never hinder your rankings. With this in mind feel free to link to any site you think your visitors would naturally be interested in if they are at your site.

Link Pages With More than 50 Links

Webmasters who are trying to actually do their link partners a favor will limit their links pages to 50 links (the lower the better). The reason for this is that every page gets one vote. A link to another website counts as a vote for that site. This is why it can help improve rankings. As each page only gets one vote a link from a page with 10 links counts at 0.1 of a vote, whereas a link from a page with 100 links counts as 0.01 of a vote. Anything past about 100 links is not counted at all.

Additionally, the higher up on a page your link appears the more weight it is given. If the page lists sites alphabetically try to insure that your title begins with a number or a letter early in the alphabet (which works well for companies like "Beanstalk Search Engine Positioning").
Just because a rule applies today does not mean that it will tomorrow. This is true in on-site SEO as well as link building. If generic recip links work today, consider whether you believe it's in the best interest of your targeted engine to keep it this way. As the answer will undoubtedly be "no" it's in your best interest to insure that you take the extra time to build links that will still be valuable months and even a year from now to save yourself a drop in the rankings and additional work later.
