What is a reciprocal link?

[hassen1]

Reciprocal links exchange is one of the best and easiest ways to promote your website for free. Reciprocal link means, that I place a link from my web site to yours, and you place a link from your web site to mine.

A reciprocal link is an agreement between two webmasters to provide a hyperlink within their own website to each other's web site. Generally this is done to provide readers with quick access to related sites, or to show a partnership between two sites. Reciprocal links can also help to increase traffic to your web site in two ways. First you will probably have some viewers visit your site from clicking the reciprocal link directly. Secondly, most Internet search engines also take into account the number of web sites which contain links to your web site; the more hyperlinks to your site found, the higher up in the search engine rankings (depending on the search term) you'll find your site.

but i'll be sharing many links in my website to do this, and what about monitoring my links in their websites,

if i have hundreds of reciprocal links, i need to constantly chekc if they're still there or not rite, in cases like this, how should we monitor these links in other people's website?

Of course, you can check the status of your inbound and reciprocal links manually, but it is a huge time-saver to use BackLinks Master software instead. BackLinks Master software helps you find who has links to you, whether these links are direct or embedded into JavaScript and what keywords they have in their anchor text.
