Methods of website linking
This article pertains to methods of hyperlinking to/of different websites, often used in regard to search engine
optimization (SEO). Many techniques and special terminology about linking are described below.Reciprocal link
A reciprocal link is a mutual link between two objects, commonly between two websites to ensure mutual traffic.
For example, Alice and Bob have websites. If Bob's website links to Alice's website, and Alice's website links to
Bob's website, the websites are reciprocally linked. Website owners often submit their sites to reciprocal link
exchange directories in order to achieve higher rankings in the search engines. Reciprocal linking between websites
is an important part of the search engine optimization process because Google uses link popularity algorithms
(defined as the number of links that lead to a particular page and the anchor text of the link) to rank websites for
relevancy.
