Unfortunately, clicks on recips don't really bring in traffic.

Hmm, yeah I guess that would be true. How bad is it, ie how many visitors approximately would a recip make out of say a 1000 index page views (on a page with 5 other recips)?

I don't really see a problem with scraping free site links from other LLs as long as you don't copy their title / description. There are also lists of recip free free sites out there for people starting a new LL.

But you lose me when you ask for LLs to link back to you. Imo you should be linking from your site to the LLs you scrape as a thank you and ask for no linkbacks.

Which makes me wonder, what your goal is in doing this? To create an automated directory that feeds off of the work of other directories? I don't see that working out too well, but if you can give a LL a reason to link to your site you might be onto something.
