Reciprocal Review Carousel
Reciprocal Review Carousel idea is based on few simple and yet effective link-building and bloggin techniques I have learned:
* Build value of the blog by creating a link from within content.
* Provide a value to community by doing a review on blog you personally like.
* Link to YOUR blog has exact anchor text you want and helps you boost Google Rankings.
* No more then 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:
* Copy the entire text between the specified lines.
* 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:

Feel free to join the carousel and please add reviews to the sites you like. Once you have provided review about the site – let them know, and perhaps they will join the carousel. You will be surprised how fast your rank will grow and this time so will the Google Page Ranking. It is your chance to get viral traffic to your blog.
Update:
To answer several questions I have received in email.
Q: Do I have to do the review of the site that reviewed me?
A: Absolutely Not! It is entirely up to you what sites do you review. Reciprocal part of this Carousel is in the part where reviewer creates a link to HIS or HER own blog using anchor text that fits the reviewer the most. It is actually most beneficial to review other blogs you might like and invite them to join the carousel. Main idea is not to only build links but to actually provide value to our readers by sharing sites we like.
Q: How many sites can I add?
A: It is up to you and I only request that you do not remove more then one from previous carousel. It will work best if each of us remove just one bottom review and adds one at the top. Using this method it creates most organic, changing content. But nobody is limited to removing JUST the bottom. If you look through the list and find one blog that simply don’t fit the theme of your blog – remove it. I don’t mind if you even remove my own blog, its all part of the game and as long as we continue to provide value to our readers and have changing (rotating) content we avoid penalties. On how many reviews to have – I wouldn’t recommend more then 10 for a simple reason. 10 reviews = 20 links, plus a link back to a site that invited you to participate and other links you already have on your blog. Our goal is to create the least amount of outgoing links, combined with value and avoid blame for being link-farmers.
Q: How fast will my technorati rank and Google PR will grow?
A: I have no clue! It will mainly depend on your efforts. Invite your friends Bloggers to join the carousel and use copy/paste from your blog. More people participate – better you rank. Here is a quote from Dave Ledoux: “Does it work? My Technorati ranking improved by over 2000 in the last 36 hours because of this.â€
