Sorry, but links pages are a bad idea if they're done incorrectly. I've been working with the top agency for search engine optimization and placement, and WE do not believe in random link exchange programs. In fact, I know PERSONALLY of sites that have been banned from the search engines for abuse of link trading...
I'm proposing an option that will benefit your site in many ways. It will involve your affiliate link, no problem... but don't accept bids from people promising to submit you to 600 search engines, or get you 400 trades... they'll wind up getting your site banned. If you're going to do this, do it right. BE AN AUTHORITY on your topic, and you'll see the results!
Please contact me in PM for further.
