One Way Links

Filed under: Articles

One way links means that a web site links to your web site, but you don’t link back to that web site. One way links are also known as non-reciprocal links.

One way links are thought to be more valuable than reciprocal links in terms of boosting your web site’s link popularity, therefore the more one way links your web site has, the higher your web site’s link popularity.

One way links are thought to be more valuable as they appear to be a more “natural” way of linking between web sites. If you imagine that you find a great resource for you web site, you link to that resource, however, that resource web site doesn’t link back to you, most likely because they don’t know you’re linking to them.

Acquiring one way links are much more difficult than reciprocal links. It is possible to get one way links using “triangular” link exchanges, however this is often difficult and you would require at least 2 web sites to do so. “Triangular” link exchanges are when your web site A links to your partner’s web site, and your partner’s web site links to your web site B.

  4. I use http://www.prsearch.biz/inbx.php determine what links are appearing on my website. I have recently found a number from the same company that do not belong there. So how in the world do I remove them. They have no relationship to my website and I believe they will in fact hurt my chances of gaining good search engine results.

  6. Hi,

    for example i have two sites (SITE-A and SITE-B) hosted in a same server then i created a link of SITE-A to SITE-B.
    is it illegal? or it wont affect nothing?
    just want to know if linking your websites with other of your properties found on the same server will affect each other

    Thanks
