John, I didn't read your original post carefully enough and jumped to the conclusion that Thecelebritycafe.com was one of your own sites, which it's not. My apologies to you.

My apologies. I will actually link to any author's web site whether they give me a link back or not. I simply ask for a return link but I never check to see if any such link is made.

I don't need more links to rate high on any search site. I provide links to others as a service.

I overstated the case in my posting because I was trying to encourage people to cross-link with others since most author web sites have few if any links going out or coming in.

If you check out my web site, you will find out that I have more than 1700 links in and many thousands of links out (I haven't ever counted my out links).

In my web site I link to thousands of sites that have never linked to me.

I don't like your Reciprocal Link requirement. Although a link to an author's site is relevant to Thecelebritycafe.com, a link back to Thecelebritycafe.com from the author's site might be a red herring. I only exchange links with travel websites, something the Thecelebritycafe.com is not. By only listing sites which give you a Reciprocal Link, you make it obvious that your author's directory is merely a ploy to obtain links to your site. Anyone can see that.
