Who the heck knows!
Everyone has so many different views on what Google is upto but the truth is NO ONE KNOWS. I am so sick and tired of 'so called' web marketing experts who make guesses based on stuff that they've read somewhere in someone else's forums or web site. One thing I advise is DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ! The first year I started learning about SEO and Internet Marketing (about 8-9 years ago now) there wasn't much to go on so I had a lot of trial and error experiences but I eventually learned (more or less) how search engines work and how to acheive high rankings on my own. Now EVERYONE is an expert.I think it is so silly the way people carry on about reciprocal linking techniques, what works... what doesn't... who should link to whom... the fact is reciprocal links help you dramatically and even though Google DOES favor links from sites with high PR it doesn't mean that sites with lower PR aren't helpful! When we first started infowizards.com we had a low PR and many would'nt trade links with us because of it. Now that we're gaining PR and have over forty thousand links pointing to us those same people want to be our best friends. It's a ridiculous situation especially when no one really knows for sure what it is that Google and the other SEs really want!
Another thing that people seem to overlook is that THERE ARE MANY OTHER SEARCH ENGINES besides Google. I know... "but Google sends the most traffic" (you say). SO WHAT?!? That doesn't mean the others don't send great traffic too. Link popularity is king with ALL search engines and links of ALL types help you (well maybe not casinos, porn etc) and you should take advantage of all link trades that are requested from you. Stop being so narrow minded and trade links with ANYONE who you think would make for a good link partner REGARDLESS of what the 'so called' experts tell you. ALMOST RECIPROCAL LINKS HELP!
Here is a good example of what I mean:
Goto Yahoo or Google and type in 'condo' . Now look at #3 on Google and #2 on Yahoo. Then take a look at who's linking to them. These guys (Condocompany) have bought 3 million links from ONE site. The site they bought these from has NOTHING to do with condos. THEY'RE a WEATHER site LOL. The anchor text is there... the links are there... thats ALL it took to make them rank high for their phrase!
You wouldn't think that is possible since you should ONLY link to sites similar to yours right? You tell me :) ^ TOP

Reciprocal linking. From what I understand, it gives you a PR. The basic function is to have sites that link to your site so that when visitors click on them, they would be taken to a site with a similar theme.
Now how much of this really holds true? Most webmasters, tend to forget this basic rule and start focussing on getting High PR's and once they do that, off they go selling the links.
I've noticed Google's listings in the SERPs doesnt actually depends on PR alone. I've seen some PR3 sites rank in the top 10 as well. But what baffles me is the Sandbox.
Its more like encouraging you to get links. Okay, may be the first 10 or 50 links would be quality links. But how can they think that people would actually sit and build over 40K links? Especially when you have time constraints?
