Interesting tb987.
Unfortunately, it is a fact that there is a disproportionate percentage of Link requests and Directory promotions plus the consequential little green bar chasers on this forum. There is a massive amount of time and effort put into this "Religion" instead of quality Web Mastering that would result in less twitchy and longer lasting success without the nervousness of dreading the next algo tweak or heaven forbid Florida Mk2.
Quality web content, whether a directory or any other type, will attract it's own incoming links providing some time and effort is spent promoting the site. I know it's harder work and may take longer than the "You link to me and I'll link to you" strategy, but vulnerability to the fickle and fluctuating Algorithm then becomes others worry not yours.
