Is reciprocal linking for me?

In the example above, it's clear that the blogger is thinking about the value his resource page will provide to me and my audience.

He makes a very reasonable proposal and explains the SEO benefits his idea will bring to our pages. Furthermore, the page he wants me to link to on my site is insightful and offers value to my readers.

Comparing both emails I received is like night and day.

Blogger outreach for [reciprocal linking] is only as good as the intention behind it.

If you simply want to generate backlinks to your site, don't expect to get any ig database backlinks at all. I felt this was the modus operandi of the blogger in the first example, which is why I ignored his request.


The truth is that reciprocal linking is a curious case. There is no hard data analyzing the relationship between reciprocal linking and SEO.

Therefore, the verdict is still undecided for "reciprocal linking".

I'm not saying that reciprocal links are okay and that you should integrate them into your link-building strategy.

What I am saying, however, is that you should use common sense when it comes to building links.

Since this tactic remains in the SEO gray area, you should approach it with caution. If you feel the need to practice it on your site, you should always think about your audience and consider how your links will affect the quality of your content for your readers.
