Should I be picky about hardlink trades

It's a judgement call. Some people seem to do fairly well with 'anything goes' linking.

In theory you will get better ranking with 'relevancy' or theme-to-theme linking.

In practice it depends on a lot of other factors as well- keyword focus, the number of competing pages, quite a few others.

Then theres the contrast between 'traffic trading' and 'SE linking', a whole other dimension which affects your profit.

Build one site with anything goes, build another with relevancy, and see which one makes more sales.

I've seen both work.
