I use my linkmachine on some of my Wordpress blogs, and it really helps. As long as your sites are on-topic and similar it works very well. Have to disagree with the 2-way link theory being useless.

I think I am going to wait until WP 2.5 is finally released and see if one of the WP directory plugin authors will update their plugins, since all of the ones I have found "broke" with WP 3.2. Tracy Thanks Brian,

I just installed it separately and then put a link to it in the footer called "resources" you can see it there at the bottom. Brian Hi Tracy,

It doesn’t really integrate with wordpress. I just installed it separately and then put a link to it in the footer called “resources” you can see it there at the bottom.

How did you integrate Linkmachine into your wordpress site? I haven't been able to figure that out. I know this is an old post but hope you are still looking at it.

How did your GWO test go on your book page? Your readers might be interested in an <a href="http://www.widerfunnel.com/google/interview-with-tom-leung-business-product-manager-at-google" rel="nofollow">interview we recently had with the GWO product manager, Tom Leung</a>. We've also developed a <a href="http://www.widerfunnel.com/proof/do-the-math/" rel="nofollow">simple calculator</a> to determine how valuable multivariate testing services could be for your business. Cheers. This is an interesting challenge, Brian. How did your GWO test go on your book page?

I've heard that as well that reciprocal links are declining in importance, but I've also heard the opposite that good reciprocal links are enough to achieve top 10 rankings. I decided that as long as they were relevant links (as you pointed out that was important) it couldn't hurt, and would most likely help even if it was only a little. One resource I've found invluable when learning about SEO is http://www.warriorforum.com Thanks! Brian Hi John,

Reciprocal links have very little importance nowadays and you can/will get penalized by linking out to a lot of websites that are (probably) not very well established. Even getting a lot of reciprocal PR4 links will not help a website rank in a remotely competitive market. The best thing to do is get one-way links with relevant anchor text. Aside from that, three-way links work better than two-way. I hope this is helpful! Howdy,
