Hi,
I have not see the GT version, but I'm rewriting Andy's version into the Ultra version for a specific customer.
My feeling about reciprocal links is that if you are just looking for SEOP you have to do more than allow it to
run automatically. You have to approve/disapprove specific requests for reciprocal linking, so you don't move
into bad neighborhoods. Most requests for reciprocal links will be from people/sites trying to do what you are
doing, and will most likely count against you, rather than for you. I don't like the idea of only having links that
have reciprocal links, since what happens is you have a circular type of link farm.
If you offer various levels of link inclusion, and one is reciprocal links -- if accepted -- then you can get away
with it if you are careful.
The real value for a directory is to have the person who entered a link into your x/y/z subdirectory, link back
TO THAT directory, not your home page.
Search engines don't tend to rank deep pages well, but pages with a lot of incoming links *will* rank better.
So, using static-look pages, with randomized link display and deep linking (checked by the recip checker)
can help your site generate some additional SEOP, or at least more visibility in the search engines.
