link exchangesAbout a month ago we polled you guys asking if you exchange links with competitors.

In our older poll only 14% said they would link to competitors. This poll is different in asking would you exchange links with competitors, not just link to them.

Our results of 130 plus responses shows almost 20% of you would exchange links with a competitor. 50% said you would never ever exchange links with a competitor. But 27% said you most likely wouldn't but would do so on rare occasion.

Last week we published a poll saying Most SEOs Say There Are Penalty Proof Paid Links.

In any event, I find the results of this poll on target from my expectations.
