    check out this directory - fashions.net

    they frame the listings from another url to make sure the PR does not transfer to the outbound links. but in order to get listed, they ask for a reciprocal link. pretty shady.

    the site is terrible,
    but it's true for the term "Get your web site listed here. There's no charge."?

    View the unframed content here.

    The domain reminds me of an old master lock combination. :)

    when a directory asks for reciprocal, you should just push the X

    Actually directories should be getting out of the reciprocal business completely. Matt Cutts has made mention that requiring a reciprocal link in exchange for a directory listing is a no no.

    Its not really a directory, its more of a really, really, really crap alibaba for the clothing business in the states.

    How dare you insult us trying to call this a directory. ;)
