Link Exchanges That Are Of No Benefit

I can't believe how many requests I get for link exchanges that are rejected because they are of no benefit. I bet I reject 80% of requests and you probably should be doing the same. If you are wondering why your search engine positions suck - you should pay more attention to this issue as outlined in this posting at agentsonline.net

When someone contacts you regarding a link exchange you need to:
a) Make sure their links page is actually listed in Google
b) Make Sure the links themselves are indexable - i.e. not in script but plain html.

Instructions on how to do that can be found here.
