Trading with penalized sites??

[Useless]

I'd be more concerned about trading links with a link list that's on a stolen domain, like FetshCrawler.com for example, which I see you link to.

I remember some of this being discussed months ago, about linking to domains that may or may not be in Google's god-like graces, but it's damn difficult to know the history of a domain and whether or not it is amongst the beloved.
