That is something Jeff would need to decide. I will draw his attention to this thread.

I was talking about the idea that was popular until recently of getting sites to put a link to you in exchange for you putting a link back to them. In other words a link exchange.
This lead to so called link farms.
It was originally because Google gave a higher rating to sites who had lots of other sites linked to them.
Google became aware of the exchange practice and introduced the policy of downgrading sites which had lots of link exchanges. They do still give credit for one way links to a site.
Hope that is not too muddled.
My so called brain is foggy as I have just driven over 400 miles.
