You cant go wrong with one way back links. The million dollar question however is what are they worth

Kathtam,
I have preached for years that Google is a business and their search results are their product. Google will do anything it takes to protect themselves. No, they are not going to give us the specific algorithm, and I do believe it is tweaked to prevent spamming of search results. I do tend to believe Google Guidelines. Why??? They are not very specific. BUT, they make sense and I follow them and get my share of Google hits, plus some.
As far as one way back links... I do agree they have high value. But, I still think the most valuable links are links in the content of the blog or site. Links who have rich keyword content relevant to the link surrounding the link. I do not trade permanent index page links with blogs/sites I do not own. BUT, I will trade a post level link. In 8 to 14 days the link drops into the archive, BUT it still exists and there is no "trade" to keep track of. Plus, nothing says the link trade has to be A to B and B to A. Your teen to my teen and my mature to your mature. In two weeks we reverse the trade. I do believe that the links would count as a one way trade, NOT reciprocal linking. The links are post level and if done properly the reciprocal post link from B to A does not occur until the link from A to B has dropped into the archive. Natural Linking...
Just my thoughts...
Randy
