Yep, Lisa that's what I meant but you put it in much better terms then I would have. LOL I think that's an important point when you talked about the link exchanges. I too used to have that dreaded link page that you speak of and would do link swaps with people. I never got traffic from those pages and I'm sure my pages didn't bring my partners traffic either.

I will try to adobt the "contextual method" that you speak of. Makes more sense and I see why Google would ignore those.
