Page for Link Building

[PedroM]

Hello Guys,

My question is about a link building process. We all know that some directories/sites do require a reciprocal link.

Does it make any sense to creat a page in website exclusively to reciprocal links?

And what we do with this webpage in terms of indexing, do folow, crawling...etc.

Any sugestions are more then welcome

Tks in advance!

I personally would stay away from such directories that require a reciprocal link.

I definitely wouldn't have a page for links, as you want to keep your link profile as natural as possible, whereas a page for links looks spammy and it will be easy for Google to indentify low quality reciprocal links to directories.

I would have a look at what Google says regarding such links schemes -

I posted this on the duplicate thread that seems to be running but thought I'd post it here as well  

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.

I saw the duplicate and posted in the original as I thought the other might end up being got rid of, but maybe I should have posted in both as you have Chris. Anyway I hope both our answers are of use to Pedro..
