A>B>C Recips for linklists?

[Greenguy]

Help me out with something - with the ABC link trades, the way Jay has it, Jay is A, the free site is B & SnizzShare is C - right?

How is this supposed to help who out as far as SE's? And who is it supposed to help - A, B or C?

ABC link trades are supposed to be a way to get around the alleged negative impact of direct reciprocal link trades. I couldn't say whether there was/is any benefit to such linking. It's always sounded so silly to me. It's not as if the SEs are blind to the relationships formed between different domains anyway. "Let's say the zeros and ones in Cass' camera help you hear my father's word." (John From Cincinnati) And let's say that the zeros and ones in Google's algorithm are just as all-seeing, all-knowing.

Links to other sites within a recip have always been one of my pet peeves. Bookmark Links' recip has a second link to a review site and that bugs the shit out of me. Some of Ne*Dee's recips link directly to sales pages on the site instead of category pages. That bugs me too.

1 month later, I'd still like to hear a legit answer to this question since I was not asking to be an asshole.

Actually, an A - B - C link trade is only good if it is an open fork. That means A and C should not link to each other at all or be connected in any other way than by B. But since xxxjay's link site and snizz share link to each other there is no benefit from it as the links built a closed circle.

In other words, it has no use in terms of SEO for xxxjay at all. At least that is my logic.

I didn't see the exact recips, but I assume they went so that A (the root, rather than the category page) didn't link to B (the freesite), in which case there is no closed circle. Like I say, I didn't see the recips, so I may be wrong
