Having blogs linking back to you can really boost your blog popularity, your Technorati ranking and most importantly benefit your Google ranking. That being said and understood by everyone, here is Reciprocal Review Carousel or Virallink exchange whch will help you do this for you.
I found out about this ingenious way to get viral traffic to your blog after visiting the blog of Jeff Schuman who first came to know it from an email sent by Jack Humphrey’s Friday Traffic Report. He said to check out a different kind of web 2.0 link building technique started by Alex over at HowtoSpoter.com. With a little work, this is a great opportunity for you to get incoming links to your blog if you do it right.
Follow the directions below and make sure you do it right. Check out how this started (opens in a new window) then come back here and see what has changed on the review list below and you will see how this works immediately.
Thanks to Alex for starting this ingenius link building campaign and to Jack and Jeff for sharing it with us.
– copy and paste the Reciprocal Review Carousel and instructions below this line”
Reciprocal Review Carousel idea is based on a few simple yet effective link-building and blogging techniques I have learned:
Build value of the blog by creating a helpful link from within content.
Provide value to community by doing a review on a blog you personally like.
Link to YOUR blog has exact anchor text you want and helps you boost Google Rankings.
No more than 30 outbound links from any page to prevent penalties for link farming.
Viral effect of the link as more bloggers participate, link to your blog with YOUR anchor text, coming from quality content post will spread.
Here is How to participate:
Create a post on your site and put at least one paragraph explaining how you joined the Reciprocal Review Carousel.
Paste the text you copied into your post.
Remove the Bottom Review and At the Top add your own review with a link to a site reviewed, at least 2 sentences about the site and a note – Reviewed by: Your Anchor Text. Link your anchor text to your site. Here is an example:
WordPress Web 2.0 Guide is a blog providing very useful information on building your very own Web 2.0 portal based on WordPress. Detailed instructions and howto guides make it possible for anyone to create a sparkling and engaging blog and join the community of like-minded individuals. Reviewed by: WordPress Web 2.0 Spot-er

- copy and paste the Reciprocal Review Carousel and instructions above this line –
To summarize – just take the whole thing above including the lines – copy and paste -etc-, do an opening paragraph like the one I started this post with, paste what you just copied, take the bottom review in the review list off and add a review like I did for Jeff Houdyschell’s site with a “Reviewed by:” link back to your site.
Post it, relax and set the viral effect in motion. One caution is do not do more than one review each so as to restrict to a maximum of 30 links to a page. This is very important as we do not want Google to deem it as spam and get into trouble. We ask for your co-operation. This is blogging and link building giving us link popularity for our blog and we do want to keep it legitimate and enjoy it.

It’s funny the way the bloggers community creates itself. Link to me and I’ll link to you and we get hundreds of subscribers which actually have their own blog and subscribed to yours so you’d subscribe to theirs… amusing

Hi Peter,
It seems a very clever technique, but how did you pick the guy you reviewed? Is there a list of the guy participating? or is this the list?
