Good luck in your hunt for backlinks! Hi Raj,

Yes, backlinks are links back to your website - whether they are one of a pair (reciprocal) or one way.

Good luck in your hunt for backlinks!

So far it is 2-1 in favour of reciprocal links but I need to find an inexpensive service to go out and get them for me. New term today "back links" ? are these both one way and reciprocal links? Thanks Ray J Thanks for your comments RFW. So far it is 2-1 in favour of reciprocal links but I need to find an inexpensive service to go out and get them for me.

And the anchor text should be the same as your keywords/phrases. Some SEOs use "blackhat" methods to boost your Google rank, which can work, but can also get you banned. Google must think the websites it ranks are more useful than yours for the keywords you are searching for. Try and see it from their point of view, with the data they have available. If your website really is better, make sure people know about it and link to it, and you should rise up the rankings. Hi Raj,

My website seems invisible to google. On one hand I am told to get as many (at least 50 per page) reciprocal links to be on the first search page. On the other hand I am told that reciprocal links cancel each other out and are useless. One source says SEOs can get you to page one but might use methods which may get you banned by google. When I search my keywords the 1st page websites don't seem to have many reciprocal links and I feel their websites are inferior to mine. What am I missing? Or more importantly is my website missing?
