Improve Link Popularity

[meenaz]

Hello Sir,

Please do let me know whether reciprocal linking is still existing to have our sites on the top.And then also after reading several articles have come to know that directory listing is important for ranking the sites.
How to have my site http://www.swimwearboutique (http://www.swimwearboutique/) on the top because for last september it was on the top and now suddenly it has been gone down to 13th page.
Please do let me know about the what sort of sites we have to add.
whether pr is also important for ranking the sites and also do let me know whether we can add the sites which are having zero pr.:love30:

Reciprocal linking is not so important , just directory linking & linking with high quality sites helps in increasing PR of your site.

Regarding to your down PR , it may be because of google sandbox , for that u have to update your content regularly.

Since we got the sandbox theme open for a sec............its 6 months according to Matt cutts right>?

That new statment he made about the new content filter?
