Do three way links still help in moderation?

do three way links still help in moderation?   Have some friends with websites in the same genre as mine and was told three way links were better than reciprocal links.

Thanks mozzers!

If you guys create a simple link network between one another, then no it probably won't help much and you're risking being seen as manipulating links.

Instead, I suggest each writing up quality content that your site's focus on and provide a contextual link to one another. This way you are giving your users valuable content and if the article focuses on each of your own niches it then makes sense to provide a link to the site.
