Has Jagger Killed Reciprocal Linking? http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/google-news/has-jagger-killed-reciprocal-linking/ <p>Although there's evidence to suggest Google have been devaluing reciprocal links for some time (especially unnatural ones), <a href="http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/002755.html">SE Roundtable points</a> to the Search Engine Watch discussion <a href="http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/showthread.php?t=8541">Reciprocal Linking – Dead or Alive?</a> asking how badly reciprocal linking has been affected since the Jagger updates. Google themselves (or at least Google Engineer Matt Cutts) have said Jagger would be targeting aggressive link-schemes.</p> <p>The rational consensus seems to be that quality, on-topic links are and will likely remain valuable both in relation to SEO and also for direct traffic, and that off-topic and/or low quality links are either dead or very much near-to-extinction.</p> en Copyright 2005 WebmasterBrain.com webmaster@webmasterbrain.com Thu, 07 Sep 2006 14:31:16 GMT Thu, 07 Sep 2006 14:31:16 GMT http://www.webmasterbrain.com/img/logo.gif Has Jagger Killed Reciprocal Linking? http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/google-news/has-jagger-killed-reciprocal-linking/ Good analysis http://www.webmasterbrain.com/seo-news/google-news/has-jagger-killed-reciprocal-linking/good-analysis/ &lt;p&gt;Good analysis of the recip links issue.
