using directories as link exchanges

[wesley]

Are people putting up directory sites now and using those as their link exchange pages?

I really need a script to manage my link exchanges and can't find anything I really like.

I have a directory script that I bought so I thought maybe I should just use that.

What are you guys using?

Did you mean directories that require reciprocal links?

Exchanging links with other related websites will have much benefit as compared to directories.

Take for example if one web design company is ranking high for "web design canada", and there is one web promotion company ranking high for "web promotion canada". In this situation both these sites could actually score higher rankings by exchanging links ( since both are within niche).

It is best to remain within your niche while exchanging links

I always advise to skip the directories that require reciprocal linking. You get no SEO value from them.

Hi Wesley

The days of reciprocal links seems to be over since last year. Concentrate on getting quality backinks from other sites, it will be so much better.
