      When i exchange links with others, i usually put their link on my site hoping that they'll do the same. Since it's impossible to check all sites whose link i have placed on my page to see if they have put a link back to me, i was wondering whether there is a kind of software  to help me do that!

        Hi Yannis

        I am sure there is (a few options discussed here: http://www.seomoz.org/q/what-are-the-best-seo-tools-out-there)  but my question would be why do reciprocal linking?

        Generally it is a tactic that has no SEO value these days, with search engines recognizing both links, and essentially cancelling them out. If one party is a huge high authority site (CNN/BBC etc.) then the smaller receiving party will benefit, but in most cases where sites are of similar authority levels, there really isn't much point to reciprocal linking.

        Regards

        Simon
