"
Reciprocate Links!" is a new entry into the general subject business web directory arena. This directory is a well categorized, family freindly, G-rated directory. The
Reciprocate.info directory does not accept adult subject or gambling sites of any type. All categories are individually keyword optimized and search engine spider freindly.
Although
Reciprocate Links! is considered a link exchange, otherwise known as a reciprocal link directory, this site does offer free (non-reciprocate) links that include the "nofollow" attribute as a means to encourage reciprocating links. Other options include inexpensive one-way links or paid featured links.
Reciprocate Links! only displays up to 5 Featured Links per category, and these links will display on the top of all pages within that category. All links approved in the web directory are good for the lifetime of the listed resource.
Reciprocate Links! lists website records in the following order by default: 1) Website listings are displayed according to the value of their Google PageRank, so that a website with a PR of 10 would rank above a website listing for a PR 9 website. 2) Web resources listed with the same PR value will be listed according to the eldest submitted will be displayed first. This encourages webmasters to submit early so that they will rank well amonst the competition as their site increases in PageRank. Note that visitors may change the default sorting method according to their preference.
Free and reciprocate link listings may only link to the main landing site, or the domain name. Paid Regular Links and Category Featured Links may opt to deep link their listings, as long as the inner landing page is appropriate for the directory.
Reciprocate Links! does not list sites with excessive advertising, pop-ups or sites with ads that can be confused for navigation buttons or websites which do not offer a well laid-out navigation system.
Any paid submission which is denied will be refunded the investment as long as the resource is not a gambling or adult site which is trying to skate through undetected, and therefore such submission fee will be kept as a penalty for trying to ruin our G-rated family oriented community directory.
Have the search engines devalued reciprocal links?
Although we do realize that
Google has been devaluating links between link reciprocating websites for the most part, we remind you that these links are still of value to Google, and are not devalued by other search engines such as
Yahoo Search or
MSN Search. Furthermore, web pages which contain similar subject content that are relevant to each other are not devalued by Google. Since
Reciprocate Links! is well categorized with many subcategories and keyword optimized for each category or subcategory, this means that at least the page offering listing records from within
Reciprocate Links! is going to be similar in subject and relevant to the website listed.
Remember that there IS an investment involved in reciprocating links, your time required to set-up the reciprocal link. For this reason, we feel that the devaluation of reciprocal links from reciprocate directories is over exaggerated.
However, if your linking strategy does require one-way links, they are available as free or extremely inexpensive lifetime links.
Doesn't the "nofollow" tag devalue the importance of a free link?
Yes. In fact, this tag devalues a link in most search engines. But it still remains as a vote in favor of a website for most of them. Google does seem to ignore it the most in our experience, though.
Is Reciprocate Links! a Valuable Resource?
It certainly will be.
Reciprocate Links! has just been introduced to the online world and so, at this moment, Google and the other big boy search engines don't even realize that it is out there and available. But they will know soon as
Reciprocate Links! is employing a very aggressive and proven successful campaign by yours truly. We certainly encourage all to submit their resource listings as soon as possible in order to remain in good standing at any PR level.
