i started www.onlinebusinessdir.com as a reciprocal only directory because i was receiving many spam links in www.imobilecentral.be.But the response was (is) not all that big i thought because of the keyword domain name. so why do people donot submit to reciprocal only directories. www.onlinebusinessdir.com/ is now free. is there any way i can encourage members to reciprocate.
I believe it's several characteristics. First and foremost: PR. Secondly: Design. If people see high PR, they are willling to jump in. If people see good design, It gives the indication that a lot of work and determination went into the directory, and people do appreciate that. Then again, you do have people who don't give sh*t about anything but themselves, could care less, and are only out for themselves and to make money. yea, it sucks, I know, but infortunately, it's just the way it is.

Cause there are plenty of other directories offering one way links... When it comes to reciprocating, most people only want to reciprocate with similar themed sites.
