This might be relevant to some of the linklist problems

Well, those are the issues I sit here twiddling my thumbs about. Category trades are an obvious scheme - and what do they do anyway? Build PR? Whoop-dee-doo. Reciprocal links are even a more obvious scheme, since they are on low quality (often duplicated) sub-sub pages anyway. And let's face it, if your recip isn't sitting on the same page as the one submitted to the big players, that link is fucking useless as a source of traffic, and most likely, any SE benefit. I'm seriously considering listing only clean sites on my newest list - just for giggles.
