You'll notice reciprocating links is on their 'not to do' list.

And those of us that test on a weekly if not daily basis... have been saying this for almost 2 yrs now!

like I said earlier... recip = waste of time*

*now I will qualify that....

If you sell blue widgets and there is a site out there that also sells blue widgets (but they are not Direct competition, meaning they sell the larger or smaller size) do a recip link with them!

NOT because you think it will increase your PageRank... but because you have visitors to your site looking for blue widgets... but you may not carry the EXACT one that your site's viewer is looking for...

Therefore a link exchange on that level is beneficial to your sites viewer... = good!

link exchange to boost IBL's = bad...

and yes it's really that simple
