Hi Alan, moved you over to the SEO forum
 Do you mean you are being asked for reciprocal links? ie you link to me and i'll link to you?

Traditionally, most people used to use a "links" page, basically an extra page on your site, and simply listing lots of links.
But to be honest this is a pretty outmoded way of doing things. Reciprocal links, you link to me if you link back carry little weight these days with the search engines. The reason we obtain links is to try and get better results on the search engine results, and google sees links as a currency of authority. If lots of people link to your site, then you have content worth seeing, and you get decent rankings. If to get a link to your site, you have to link back, lowers the value considerably of the link. Better to have some good content and generate links naturally, or via things like forums, articles etc. The holy grail of links is on the home page, so I wouldn't put lots of other peoples links on your home page unless you think you are getting something out of it (decent page rank, anchor text etc). Dunno if that helps or causes more confusion Bankholiday wise, bit of packing and planning as we're off on our hols next week.. woo hoo  Enjoy your day off Monday!

Just to open this topic up again. Can anyone recommend a really accurate Backlink checker checker. Don't mind paying a bit. I find big disparity in the free ones.

Although it disapeared for a while, google webmaster tools now seems to be reporting all of our links. It includes the dross with the good, but it's what I currently use.
