3-Way Link Exchange Method - Does it Work?

[k9byron]

Hello People,

I have been searching for a service to help us with our link building and have been talking to a company that uses the 3-Way link exchange method and my question is: Does it work well?

Below I pasted an email from this company explaining their method. Thanks in advance to everyone!

===============================

Our success rate is about 80%. For one way links, we use 3 way link exchange method for making links. Suppose your site is A. My website is B. My friends website is C and friend's client's site is D. I will add a link on B linking to D and my friend will add a link on C linking to A. This is the procedure we use for making links.

We check the quality of the website before putting link on it. The site will be completely relevant, no spam links will present there and the page will be minimum of PR1.

3 way link exchanges are way out of date.

Even the huge link directories and blogs are getting deindexed.

I would never hire any SEO that even brings that type of outdated crap to my table.

Any domain that has been around for a long time will have some reciprocal links. Many sites will also have some multi-way links, even if they weren't sought out on purpose. I don't recall ever agreeing to a multiway link, but we have a lot of links, so there may be some that google will identify that way.

You can't control what other people do, only what you do. I don't recommend doing any of those, but if you have a few, I doubt they will hurt you.

Also, and this is where google has a problem, if you link out to another site, and they decided it would be a good thing to pump up the power of your page that links to them, they may have added multiple links or even link wheels to your page, and there is nothing you can do about it.
