I had the submission work done about the second week of December. I guess I’ll just have to wait it out and see what happens.

The good thing is that it looks like the site used in my example above has now jumped right back to page #1 in all of it’s keywords, just like before the Google Filter went into affect. It looks like it happened about 28 days after it was removed.

Hi Shelley,
I think that link exchanges help sites, especially early on in your optimization, so that linking appears naturally to the search engines. There are actually a few things you can do when exchanging links so that it doesn’t hurt you.
1) You can exchange links and only link back to other websites with the “nofollow” attribute - this will tell Google that you don’t want to pass any PageRank value to those links. This is used a lot on blogs and forums, since site owners can’t know or trust all of the sites that visitors are linking to.
2) You can do a form of ‘black hat SEO’ where you exchange links, but put your links on a hidden page in which the search engines can’t find. This is kind of rude, and some may even say unethical, that’s why I file it under black-hat SEO.

How long ago did this happen? It may just be a matter of waiting a month or so.

I had the same thing happen to me. I purchased a directory submission to 700 directories that all went up within a week. Next thing I know my Page Rank has dropped and I’m not in the Google search results for some of my keywords.

Now your post has really made me nervous, not puposely but with your advise. I think your research on this subject is great. Now what do I do?
I am putting together a new site. You recommend not using reciprocal link exchanges and that is where I’ve found you, just now. I am to agree whether to echanged links with you. I don’t think your site fits the theme of my new site, so I would probably reject (sorry,nothing personal) That is usually what I look for in other sites, that our content is at least on the same page, so-to-speak.
I have a LOT of links from exchanges on my other website ArizonaEarthshines.com, is that the problem? Is that why I have still a low page rank 1/10? It has been up since last April. Should I get rid of some? I’m confused now about link exchanges.
I used to be an art director, for print media. The web is very different and I am on a learning curve I guess. Help? We may not exchange links but I am adding you to my fav’s.
Shelley
