1. You MUST provide a link back to us. <--- since your directory is just a clone of the ODP filled with sites I can NOT honestly recommend people linking back to your directory to list in it...directories list sites, sites do not list directories.

requiring a reciprocal link is not free

Actually you should do your homework before you make false acusations.

Only about 2/3 are from DMOZ

Oh and requiring a reciprocal link beats $50

not too long ago that directory had no attribution to DMOZ at all (I do plenty of homework as far as directories go), and I would usually rather pay $50 for a quality link than reciprocate.

I believe bying links on high PR directories is ESSENTIAL for any serious website owner.

However, so is submitting to directories like mine.

By requiring reciprocal links:

1. my directory gets higher PR
2. In turn YOUR site get higher PR
3. The more people supplying reciprocal links the faster my directory becomes higher PR which means YOUR site becomes higher PR.
4. It means people who have submitted sites and provided reciprocal links are serious sites which gives the directory more credibility.

It is a win win situation.

so long as

1.) the person can list you 10 links off the home page like you may list them
2.) you are not advertising some high margin products using sitewide links

people giving reciprocal links does not mean they are serious sites or your site is a serious site...what that actually means is that most serious sites will not list in your directory (unless they are part of the feed already) AND will not link to your directory

Whatever dude. You have no clue what you are talking about but what does that matter. You simply like to bash any other directory and you are being dishonest in the way you do it as well.

I'm just stating my opinion here, but if I work every day to build links to my site and say I do so much more than my competitors do. Then, I link to you to get a link on your site, and my competitor does the same, now I'm helping out my competitor.

Do you see why many "good" sites will not participate in something like this. Overall, I would rather pay a fee to submit than give them a link back.

I am not trying to be dishonest...I generally promote lots of directories.

look here http://www.directoryarchives.com ... a directory of directories

nobody listed in that directory paid cash to be listed.

look here http://search-marketing.info/newslet...ruce-stone.htm
I interviewed Bruce Stone and got his article promoting his directory on many search related sites.

I am more along the lines of thinking that Shawn is using...directories list sites...sites do not list directories. if a directory is really powerful I may want to reciprocate, but I would not want to with a low power directory.

a link earned on merit usually has much more longterm value than a petty link exchange with a random directory. most webmasters should usually rather spend a one time fee than pay the recurring link fee of helping a bunch of competitors every month.

I link, from my site, to several directories - but not to their homepage - that does no direct benefit to me or my visitors. Instead, if I choose to link to a directory, I want to make it a useful link. For example, I link to the Photography section on Bluefind because it is useful to my members & visitors, not because I hope to bounce PR back and forth between the sites...
