I find it interesting how google seems to be listing a lot more pages from the website you are doing the link: search on. I saw a site the other day, with PR4 that when I used the google link search, saw that ever link listed was from the same site. I didn’t bookmark the search, or take a screenshot of it, but I sure wish I had….

Good post! however i think Link Popularity isn’t a chemical formula that can be attained by mixing two or more components. Gaining maximum number of links pointing to your website requires skills, backed up by your website’s worthiness. If your site is worthy of a link, you can earn a great profit with Link Popularity. And if it isn’t, all your Link Building efforts might go in vain! So, Real Success of any link building campaign depends more on site’s worthiness rather than type of link building.

Remember that one way outbound links (to non competitors) helps build your credibility score with the search engines.
I link out to wikipedia amongst others.
Google is interested in the lifetime value to them of a person using their browser. Any company that offers a great visitor experience is held in good regard,

The value of one way, outgoing links is in the credibility it gives you as a resource for google customers. dont link to competitors and you will do fine

It is pretty clear that 1 way linking will generate the best results.. but it is a lot more work than recip or three way linking… much more rewarding though

I try not to rely on 3 way linking except in special cases if the quality would really be higher (either traffic or juice).

When a search engine looks at the link neighborhood for a website and sees a pattern of 3 way links I do not think there is any doubt from them what you are trying to do. A limited number of these links could occur naturally, but I believe some take it too far.

Quality one-way inbound links are without a question the best.

Also agree on the link-baiting they are pros at it over seomoz. Automotive baiting is difficult though since no one wants to link with most of my clients and when they do typically it’s not with very favorable content or anchor text.

I too only go for quality link exchange with same theme or related theme sites like mine…. i look more on traffic rather then going for getting higher PR to my site.

but i had a Q here … if we do 3 way exchange .. then will google take our link as a paid link ? m very much worried about this … as many sites , blogs n dir’s have got penalised for this thing…wat do u say frd ?

Google has ruined the web with this pagerank thing. A new webmaster now needs to concentrate more on link building and SEO than on quality.

Of the three types you list 3-way is the best- if relevant. Goes without saying that a natural link- a link some one makes because your content is so great – is the best. Balance and active link campaign with passive links- create outstanding content for your site.

Another good one is the A-B C-D model. You link my site A to B and I’ll link your site B to my site D, etc. This is probably the least likely to be detected as a network.
