Certainly not! Dump them ASAP. You do NOT want to be associated with such scum.

Here are the golden rules of link trading, which you should all live by:
1. Never trade links with any page which doesn't appear in the first five results of a site:domain.com search.

2. Avoid link trades with domains which have a poor consonant:vowel ratio. Less than 3:1 is considered a questionable ratio by Google.

3. Domains with more than two consecutive vowels are improperly discriminated against by Google. (They are working on this, but for now, you shouldn't trade links with such domains.)

4. Google hates foreigners, and music by the band Foreigner, with the exception of Hot Blooded, though I don't know how that will help.

5. Any site with any page listed as supplemental is to be avoided, EVEN IF they appear to rank very well for quality search terms.

6. Avoid trading links with sites with a lower Alexa ranking than you.

7. Always trade links with domains whose index Page Rank, when added to yours, will be a combined total of "10." (Pay very close attention to this rule and verify the consistency of your trades' PR weekly.)

You should know that supplemental pages do not rank at all for quality search terms or hardly any terms at all. That's because they are in the supplemental index and not the main index.

You should know that Google doesn't really like the song Hot Blooded.

I think that google has made a mistake with your site and you'll probably get things back to normal after the next update.

And so we all slip further down the slippery slope of FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt).

Instead of cooperating to create the kind of linking that google is rewarding right now, we try to cut each other's throats in a vain attempt to save ourselves and be the last one standing, without even trying to understand what is actually happening.

This is what the betrayal of linking trust leads to.

When we most need each other, to create unique anchor text, to give each other one-way links, trusting that our partners will fairly give us one way links in return, and keep those links up no matter what happens, we betray each other.

Instead of working on creating more unique and original content, structured the way google's algos now reward, we start an inquisition that takes us nowhere, based on bad information, bad models, and suspicion.

Oh yeah, that's real smart.

Just so y'all know, I guess I'll now be spending the remainder of the day checking my index page trades - wondering who's pulled my links because they fear that some of my pr0 cat pages may rub stink onto their sites. Just what I wanted to do!
