My bad, I misread you.

So basicly you're saying recips hurt more than they do good these days?

Fonz, I think it's a question of balance. I wrote about it here:

And how in the world can one get lot's of high quality ibl's without paying loads of $$$ or doing something in return like linking back to another site (but then you have the ABC thing again)?

Googlers believe that you can't, unless many people find your site valuable enough to link to it without being asked or paid. Like American Idol, if not enough viewers call in to vote for you, you're voted off the competition. And how do you get people to vote for you? By paying them or sending out vote exchange requests? No, out of all the contestants you gotta become the favorite.

Sometimes, you'll find some interesting stuff in Matt Cutt's comments. Easiest way I found to dig them up is to subscribe to a post.

One guy asks:

Very difficult in the adult industry to get a quality link that isn’t reciprocated!! We do get a lot of natural links just because we’re a quality resource, but other big adult sites would AVOID linking to us, because we’re such a great site

People are talking now that one way links are better, so to work on A->B->C trades, meaning A links to B in return for a C to A link. Since I only have one big site (I know, I’m a radical) and never really like playing these Google games, I’m not concerning myself much with it. Am I stupid to not pay attention to this?

Matt Cutts' response:

Socks Manly, I wouldn’t bother with triangular links or “all one-way links, all the time!” or whatever the link fad du jour is. If your an original content site in the adult industry, why not stop by Tony Comstock’s site, or get to know Chelsea Girl at http://prettydumbthings.typepad.com/ or Violet Blue. Don’t neglect the educational value of getting closer with some of the people in your industry.
