Reciprocal links cancel one another out, so you won't gain anything by doing so I agree totally. You mean webmasters just trade links and place em in each other's link pages right?

I thought the topic was about reciprocal links to a DIRECTORY (topic) not a "links page" tacked onto a web site. I have over 5K reciprocal links and while everyone else moans and groans about the roller coaster ride in the SERPs every time Google blinks my site is pretty well anchored, has been for years, and rarely budges even a little.

The reciprocal links also generate 20%-30% of my traffic so people do use those links surprisingly enough.

Cancel schmancel, I'll take reciprocal links any day of the week.
