Is this a good linking strategy?

I've been building two-way links and have concluded that I get very little affect. Google sees two sites exchanging links on pages that are full of outbound links and doesn't give much credit.

I'm thinking of trying a 3 way blog linking strategy.

Here's how it works:

1. I find a website in my industry: C.com.
2. I create a 150 word blog entry about them on my site, A.com.
3. I invite them to write a 150 word blog entry about another site I own, B.com.

Thus I have a one way blog entry from C.com and he has a one way blog entry from A.com

It should be worth more juice form Google because:

1. It's a one way link.
2. It's a blog entry, and not a link on a page full of 100s of links.

But, can Google figure out our 3 way strategy and devalue the links, or does it truly see them as 1 way links?

    Make sure your 2 sites (A&B) aren't on the same class "C" network. (i.e. the same server/IP) or they will figure it out easily.

      Interesting. They're on separate servers, but the same hosting company, so A and B's IPs might look like:

      127.222.222.001
      127.222.222.002

      Maybe that's a problem?

      And what about buying a virtual host and getting your own IP on which you host 50+ websites? Does this limit the linking strategies you can implement among your own websites?

        That is the same class "C" network

    3 way linking has been around a very long time now. The strategy works "if" you can convince quality sites to link to you. And "if" you can avoid getting caught in a Google filter.

    Most sites use Shared Hosting so even though you are linking form a different domain, you are still probably linking to and from the same IP block.

    So it's not that hard to figure out.

    I guess I'll have to buy hosting from multiple hosting companies.
