How do you choose your link exchange partners?

I agree with Linkster, especially about the importance of traffic when you're trading and the value of linking out to sites you like. If everybody linked to a relevant, quality site instead of running trades for PR gains, you'd see your sites rise quicker in the SERPs.

One thing alot of people obsess over is PR bleed on your page with too many outgoing links, so they try to limit trades per page to 20 or whatever. PR bleed is nothing compared to relevance you gain by linking out and backlinks you gain if its part of a linktrade.

Can having a more links page where you list trades and sites you like help your site out in anyway? How about link trades on lets say you have a Anal Cat and you link to Big Ass sites can that hurt you...

Don't take the article as FACT; just something to chew on.

I don't think any LL owner thinks about PR bleed since by definition a LL links to hundreds of sites at least on each page. But, it's true about relevancy of the sites you're linking out to
