Page for Link Building

[PedroM]

Hello guys,

My question is about link building and reciprocal links. Since many directories request a reciprocal link, makes me wonder if is not better to create a unique page in the website only for this kind of links.

What do you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance,

PP

Hi Pedro,

Please go through Google link scheme guidelines:

In above guidelines they have clearly mention that "Links from low quality directory sites is unnatural".

So its better to stay away from reciprocal directory sites.

Hope this help you out....

Totally agree - stay away from them now!

To be honest, reciprocal linking is dead now so I wouldn't recommend obtaining links from any directories that require you to link back to them. Not only does Google consider reciprocal linking to be worthless anyway but you could potentially land yourself in hot water when the directory invariably gets devalued by Google and you’re actively linking to them.

Links pages used to be all the rage back in the late 1990’s but I don’t think they have their place anymore.

Hope this helps.
