Reciprocal links
Hi,
I was reading an article about optimization. It talks about
puting links on your website to other website who are providing same type of services that you are. It also says that you should ask them if they can put your link on their website... I hope I got the right concept of "Reciprocal links". I have a question, if someone can help me out.
How many link should be decent a number? and Don'you think it is abad idea to put your competitors link (basically ad) on your page, bcz you are basically directing people to their site from your website?
Thanks

Well well...
How many links? It's depending on the competition you have on the keyword.
If you find sites with a strong pagerank (check the board to find out what that is) it doesn't need a lot of links.
Links from competitors:
If you have a site about rental cars for example, you can ask "car dealers" for links or "car whatever"....
Basicly it's important to get links, no matter where from....

as many as you can humanly attain. The more the better. On the flip side, try not linking out too much, especially to crappy sites. Makes you look bad to visitors and google.

Reciprocal link is when you ask someone to put a link pointing to your site and in exchange you give that person a link from your site.
You should get as many links coming to your site as possible with the word that you want to optimize as the anchor text. |

make sure you only link "out" (From your website) to websites that are relevant to your industry, so lets say your a car rental place, you can link to car parts sites, car review sites, car fan forums etc. Dont link to a viagra site from a car site, you will not get any benefit from that relationship

It's only fair when we are talking about sites with strong PR7-8+. I don't think Google checks every PR6- page for outbound links for non-relative content. |

This is the first time I hear that. 
Can you explain that a little bit more?

Thanks for everbody's message. Is it true that <HTML> tag should be the first thing on the page. Something like the following is not helpful?
<!-- some comments -->
<html>
<head>
<title>???????</title>
Thanks
