Recip linking for the direct traffic it can bring still makes plenty of sense to me.

Are we talking about a recip link on a links page? If that's the case, does anyone really get any traffic worth talking about from such pages?
From the way things are right now, it would seem that recip links pages are 90% for ranking purposes. Am I wrong? Even then, I'm finding that after a recip link is established, the linking site either moves my link a couple of levels deep where it don't see light or they "accidentally" remove them!
