  1. Never submit your website to any site that has a large number of links on a page called “links”, “link partners”, “resources’ or anything similar. Reciprocal links only work in moderation and only with sites that are within your same niche.

  2. I perfectly agree with you because that is not search engine friendly. Also avoid Reciprocal link exchange with link churn and and link farms. And else I got one shocking google patent point that google hates paid linking and that is the vast and major issue for ranking. Thanks for the post keep on sharing for SEOs.
