The real question here is what does Google like?
Google, its all about Google now the problem with linking to things like directory’s that require a link back Google will not like that, no longer can you trade links with people unless you do a three way swap yeah this is very complected but now its the only way to still link swap.
One simple way to do this is by creating a del.icio.us account, try to get Google crawling it as much as possible for example add thousands of people to your network meaning you get more links to your account allowing Google to crawl the site more then link delicious to your site but do not link back, but if your on a bunch of forums put a delicious link in your signature or where ever else you can put the link, so use delicious to link to your site as much as possible.
If you’ve got any more sites you can then you can use delicious to link to the site as well, which allows you to stop interlinking them.
Instead of delicious you can use a wide variety of other social bookmarking tools like reddit or you could even use things like blogger.
You wouldn’t of though that linking to a website could be so complicated would you!
It’s great to see that you’re turning into a regular social butterfly these days!
Some good social bookmarking sites can bring in a good visitor count like digg, I’ve found it to be pritty good for links back.

I have been doing seo for more than 6 years and your right reciprocal linking is dead on its feet, 3 way linking is a better bet or even 4 way linking, but then it gets a little more involved. There are many ways to get back-links and some unethical black hat methods of which I wont divulge here as its not a good idea for sites that need staying power. 75% of seo is now based on a well thought out linking strategy. on-page SEO still has its place and can helping very competitive placement..
