I totally agree – ever since Florida or what every “they” liked to call it – the only links I have concentrated on are “targeted” and “quality” and from day 1 – I have never linked to Links Manager sites … I always called it a lazy mans tool – heh!
Also I have no problem with homepage links so long as they are not “over done” I have always went by your number “10” any more is too many IMHO.
Also I have no idea how to tell if a site has received a penalty – I dont think just because it shows a white bar means its been nabbed. I checked the sites listed above and they still rank very well for some keywords.
Also – I just redesigned one of my sites – uploaded some new files which goolge has never seen and they show a white bar not a gray – so how can you tell its a penalty – I dont know.
