Hi,
I've recently eased off the link exchange thing and have stopped actively pursuing any link I can get back to my site.
What I'm wondering is, is any incoming link better than no incoming link or do some actually count as nothing?
I guess this wouldn't be a problem but then I guess you're leaking PR by reciprocating.
I'd be happy to dump the whole reciprocal links thing as it seems like another form of spamming, however, it seems some of my successful competitors are actively seeking links with any site willing to reciprocate.

Is the PR calculation still based only on incoming link PR but has just been given less weighting in the over all algo?

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated
Chris
