Reviews of a Popular Link Building Method

Hi guys,
I know i would rather have one way direct links and of course definately no reciprocal links but the 3 way link exchange is something i may consider....

what are your thoughts on 3 way link exchanges? would you use them?

Thanks

However, I analyzed all these links and it appears that these webmasters are setting up trading domains (that they own) and exchanging links with webmasters.

Webmaster A - He buys 200 one ways links From Company A

Company A participates in 3 way linking where webmaster A gets links from 3 way linking program.

canadiantrip, I don't know how long you've been doing SEO, how much you know, or how much you've seen, but I don't know where you get the idea that anyone who does a three way link exchange is a scammer or manipulator, because that certainly is NOT the case.

>>can outwit Google?

Sure there are people out there who can "outwit" Google, but this isn't anything, by itself, that would be in anyone's "sophisticated" tool-set of techniques.

And no, they won't come running to forums asking why, they'll know why it happened well before it actually happens and have double the sites sitting out there ready and waiting with the next thing coming down the pike that will work.

That aside (and settled), there are some perfectly valid reasons why a three-way might be a good (or better) thing, including reasons that would pass human review.

Creekscout, you started this thread with:
