I’m sure if you run such crap 3 way link exchage program, you will still find many newbies that would put a link to your new website on their homepage :-)

It may be dead or not, but why exchange links in an era where you get links much easier without asking? So it does not matter. What matters is that you should delete such spam messages as the cited above.

three way link-exchange is dead. Google knows it? I am sure he knows.

HR: Did you read the article? I think you only wanted the link. When you read it you can comment again. Until then I will delete your link.

Actually three way linking is SEO Gold if done properly. You honestly don’t know what you are talking about.

Fantastic post, i blame seo software for most of these emails as you can automatically find every website which is in someway related (i use the term lightly), not only that they allow unlimited amounts of emails to be thrown out at every variation of your email address.

I think he meant threesomes, rather than 3-ways.

David, in my case it was not an email, it was comment spam.

Some emails might be legit but still the concept of link exchange is a mistake by itself. In Web 2.0 you do give first to receive, on a voluntary basis.

I haven’t exchanged a single link with this blog but yes I have reciprocal links. They’re all oganic, natural and whatsoever so I don’t care.

On a side note: I do not even really optimize for Google. Most of my traffic comes from social media like StumbleUpon.

I get loads of these kind of emails on my inbox all the time. It seems all of them asks me to link to a new website and get another crap website to link to me.

I first encountered this concept of 3 way links when I came across a website promoting a network of site that does this. At first I was pretty excited about it, but then a good concept has fallen into the hands of spammers, who will link to anything including porn, and casinos etc.
