Can Google Detect Three Way Links

[lloyd]

I am in the process of developing a link programme where I use one site for the exchange and another to land on.

Classic three way links.

I have read that Google has worked this out.

So can google detect three way links and if so is it still worth continuing with them or try something else.

If it is something else, what is the something else.

Google can definately detect 3 way links. I'd say they take them pretty much like they see reciprical links. It's not going to do you any harm, but one way are always the best to find.

If you are looking for linking strategies you need to do better than three way

Google can definitely detect link patterns and may consider them a "link network" for gaming the search results. It doesn't matter the size of the network - 3 would be very easy.

But there are legitimate ways to interlink sites. You just need to have a think about it and apply some creativity, making sure it is what a user would want to see.
