I read repeatedly that the recips are basically for backlinks and other seo reasons

As GG said this is incidental and a new fad. Recips are recips... eg: a good old link swap.

that the traffic that comes from recips is basically nothing

The traffic that comes from recips is minimal, but when you have 100s of sites linking to you it is not so minimal.

from a seo point of view wouldn't it be better with 20 text recips on one page than 5 pages with four each
|
I do not beleve in mirroring doorways, and think that one page of decent recips is a much better offering. But remember recips in and of themsleves are only one part of the SE question. Structure and content of the 'linking' page, structure and content of the 'recieving' page would have much more bearing on SE outcome.

Maybe start grouping recips by pr

Many people do this already. Again it should be part of an overal plan/structure, not just based purely on PR.

most SEs do not consider links from pages with more than 10 external links to be of much value

even if they are less than ten many give a higher relevance the less links there are

Ecchi those are pretty sweeping statements and I would say both are untrue, though it may apply in some cases to some SE's.

since the link sites started asking for category recips those category pages are pulling up higher and higher in Google and they have lots of links on those pages

Sorry RockDaddy but that is a bit of a generalistion too.. I dont ask for or use niche/category recips, but my categories rank up with the others.
I am yet to see a convincing argument for niche/category recips.
IMO a recip.. is a recip.. is a recip... as long as you get my URL right I am happy, and the SE's will be happy too.[/color]
