Improve Domain Trust

[PlusPort]

Hey there,

I need to improve the  Domain trust of my website. I've seen the blogitems of Rand but I still have questions. If I want to increase the Domain Trust..I "simpely" have to get links from websites with a high Domain Trust.  This will eventually  improve my Domain trust. But what are the effects if I do this by reciprocal linking. Does this eliminates the trust that comes from the other website.

If you linked to Microsoft, and they linked to you, I think you would gain trust.

but lets face it, the sort of sites that do reciprocal linking are not the ones that are going to give you high trust. You get trust from trustworth sites, not spmmers

I agree with Alan. For the most part, reciprocal linking results in a neutral result, it's as though one link cancels out the other as it's a spammy link building method that usually no longer works.

Exceptions of course, like with Alan's Microsoft example. Better off acquiring one way links from relevant authoritive websites.

Great info! Does one link from a trustworthy website pass the trust or is the place of the link crucial?

It all makes a difference. the number of links on the page, where abouts on the page, the relevancy of the page, the link text, the authority of the page. I think relevancy and link text are very important
