Is there a software to help me check whether the sites that i give link to, also place my link on their site (reciprocal link)?
-
When i exchange links with others, i usually put their link on my site hoping that they'll do the same. Since it's impossible to check all sites whose link i have placed on my page to see if they have put a link back to me, i was wondering whether there is a kind of software to help me do that!

Hi Yannis
I am sure there is (a few options discussed here: http://www.seomoz.org/q/what-are-the-best-seo-tools-out-there) but my question would be why do reciprocal linking?
Generally it is a tactic that has no SEO value these days, with search engines recognizing both links, and essentially cancelling them out. If one party is a huge high authority site (CNN/BBC etc.) then the smaller receiving party will benefit, but in most cases where sites are of similar authority levels, there really isn't much point to reciprocal linking.

Simon

Site-wide/Blogroll Anchor Text Linking
I have some blogs that I own with 10,000+ indexed pages of content. I have wondered for sometime if adding anchor text links for my clients on relevant blogs would be helpful or harmful. I realize that having an anchor text link on ONE article page in context is better than 10,000 anchor text links on my blog roll or footer, but I have been reluctant to use this strategy due to the bad press site wide and blogroll links have gotten, What has been YOUR experience with this method?
