I am sometimes a little cautious with submitting to top sites. Normally I will only add my site to a "Top Site List" if there is significant traffic reciprocation. If I send someone 100 vistors a day I would like to see that in return.

I would certainly be interested to hear your thoughts on this.

BTW nice article.
