2. Increasing search engine ranking
3. Enhancing content
4. Taking advantage of Free Advertising on the Internet
It involves a website owner (link partner) placing a link to your website on his (an inbound link for you) and you placing a link to his website on yours (an outbound link from your site)
It's a fact: The more inbound links you have, the higher your website will appear in search engine results pages.
The link may be on a dedicated links page, in the actual content of the website or as a banner ad / text ad somewhere on the website.

One thing to remember with a links page is not to accumulate too many link partners your visitors will be overwhelmed with the bombardment of choice and possibly avoid having to choose; while a potential link partner might feel that his link will not be noticed amongst your other link partners. This is called Link Farming and is something to avoid.
2 - In The Body Of Your Textual Content
When having the link in the body of the actual text content, you are essentially recommending that the visitor visit that website, even if the visitor isnt conscious of it. Thus, this type of link exchange is highly attractive to a potential link partner. Of course, this is not easy for every kind of business it might be easier for a magazine business to offer content to offer linking space, than it would for an accounting firm.
Some website owners may even pay you to include a link to their website in the body of your text content, not only because it is such an effective advertisement, but it also improves their keyword rankings in search engines (if the words you use in your content that link to the website owners site are considered keywords).
Good example: About.com publishes articles with links to websites in their content.

A banner is a graphic, usually animated, that serves to entice the visitor to visit your website.
A banner can be above-the-line (visible without having to scroll down) or below-the-line (you need to scroll down to see the banner).
If you are not willing to pay a website to display your website banner, you may consider approaching a website to exchange banners with.
A text ad is a verbal advertisement linked to your website and also serves tp enticing the visitor to visit your website. It is not as eye-catching as a banner, but from a search engine optimisation perspective, you can enhance your search engine rankings by linking using keywords in your link.
An important aspect of reciprocal linking is trust you trust that your link partner will reciprocate and that if he does, the link will be there in the future.

Are you selling the same product or service, or can this potential link partner add value to the product / service you offer, thereby allowing you to indirectly increase customer satisfaction?
Of course, you should not link to a website that is totally unrelated to your content or your product, as this does not help you or your link partner
If you believe you have a winning product that your competitors can not beat, you might exchange links with them to prove to your website visitors that you are the best, by allowing them to compare this is obviously a more risky tactic as you may not only be losing customers, but actually giving them to your competitors.
