Why are one-way links better than reciprocal links?

One-way links are the linking pot of gold. When a site links to yours, it is as though your site "A" is getting a vote from site "B". Search engines see the link as a sort of "endorsement" by their site for yours. While still valuable, reciprocal links generally cancel out each other unless one of the sites has a higher PageRank than the other. A one-way, incoming link to your site will very likely help to increase your PageRank and in turn increase your ranking in the search results. But how does one do this? Directories such as this one, the-photographer-directory.com, with its highly specialized focus intended for professional photographers, are the ideal place to list your photo business.

Either way, a FREE reciprocal link or a paid one-way link will likely help you in your efforts to achieve page-one placement in organic search engine results, resulting in increased click-throughs and ultimately more clients for your photography business. Why not add your site today?
