If you have a website, chances are you understand the importance of backlinks. Backlinks are a measure of trust that search engines use to rank websites in the search results. The more backlinks (or incoming links) a site has, the more relevance the search engines will impart to that site.
There are several different ways to get more backlinks.
The first, and probably least valuable type of link is the reciprocal link. Reciprocal links are obtained by contacting other website owners and trading links with them. Google and other search engines give very little value to these types of links anymore, particularly if your links are to and from an unrelated site. Google may not ignore these types of links if they’re to and from related sites though. For example, if your website is about cars and you trade links with a site about flowers, it probably won’t help your site. However, if you trade links with a site that sells auto parts, Google may give your site a small boost for that. Most webmasters these days have given up on reciprocal links because the work/reward ratio is too high.
A more valuable form of incoming link is a one-way, non-reciprocal link. There are several ways to get one-way backlinks to your site. Some are easier than others.

Greats.. i agree with you. i think reciprocal link with same niche is better for SEO Rank and exactly for the other benefit you couldIncrease website traffic. thanks.. :)
Backlinks are incoming links to your website. It’s simple really…you vote for a candidate that you fully support or find most interesting. Similarly, you link to websites (or anything for that matter) that you think gives great value. As an SEO specialist, backlinks are one of the things you strive for in order to outrank your competitors.
(Nofollow links don’t give out “link juice” or “link love” which is used by Google for their PageRank system.)
