A reciprocal link is a mutual link between two objects, commonly between two websites, to ensure mutual traffic. For example, Alice and Bob have websites. If Bob's website links to Alice's website, and Alice's website links to Bob's website, the websites are reciprocally linked.

Google has stated:

Excessive link exchanges ("Link to me and I'll link to you") or partner pages exclusively for the sake of cross-linking


An occasional reciprocal link is not going to kill your position in Google search.

And, it's understandable that you might have a reciprocal link, even when you didn't ask for it.

For instance, I'm a regular reader of one of my friend's blogs. And, I always comment on her blog posts. When commenting, I include my link back to my own forum. Since she is a regular member of my forum, her link is also on my forum as part of her signature line. So we have a 'reciprocal link' going on there. However, this is a rare thing and I don't actively seek out reciprocal links, this just happened. I'm not going out of my way to avoid it. It's just trouble when you actively try to trick Google into thinking your site is more popular than it really is by using 'excessive' link exchanges, rather than an occasional one.

A reciprocal link is an agreement between two webmasters to provide a hyperlink within their own website to each other's web site. Generally this is done to provide readers with quick access to related sites, or to show a partnership between two sites. Reciprocal links can also help to increase traffic to your web site in two ways. First you will probably have some viewers visit your site from clicking the reciprocal link directly. Secondly, most Internet search engines also take into account the number of web sites which contain links to your web site; the more hyperlinks to your site found, the higher up in the search engine rankings (depending on the search term) you'll find your site.

I thought that having a mutual link is called link swapping. Anyway, a mutual link is normal for friendly sites especially between sites that are owned by 1 person. However, I understand that if a site has too many reciprocal links then it is obvious that it has something to do with cheating. But if I were Google maybe it would be a waste of time to check for reciprocal links since it is not a big matter regarding the SEO.
