Question about creating a reciprocal link page.

Hi,


I was wondering if I were to create a page on our site to hold reciprocal links from other directories, would it be a good idea to take the page and link it back to somewhere on our site? I was thinking of putting a link at the bottom of the index page that links to the page that holds reciprocal links, but don't know if that's beneficial or not (SEOwise). It seems a bit like endorsing the links to the other sites.
