Link Trading Q

I still will disagree with basing anything on toolbar PR - its too easy for a WM that wants to get trading partners to boost his own PR of a page - thats why Google doesnt really give a shit what the toolbar displays anymore - they know that thousands of WMs are already gaming the displayed PR

I do agree with Rocco about the outgoing links on a page - the "authority boost" far outweighs the Page Rank reduction due to more outgoings.
I also think you might want to add one more that is probably more important than any of the things listed here - that the page is W3C compliant - in other words it will validate - if a page doesnt do that it is a poor page in Google's eyes and not really worth their time - although you can get a somewhat good ranking on pages that dont validate - a page that does will far outweigh one that doesnt
