I also used to check my links periodically (because I use manual link adding), and used to see that a lot of my partners removed my site, or the page is not available, or just I cannot reach it from the home page anymore.
I used to write a letter to them and wait for 1-2 weeks until I completely remove their links if I got no answer…At this times, I rarely exchange links, fortunately my site is referred on other sites (without asking for link exchange). Or I exchange links only with CAP members who are actively use the forum.
It is always sad to see that you are honest and take care of other’s links and they just remove yours after some time (or use disgusting techniques like nofollow) – that’s why I don’t use automatic exchanges.
This sort of thing happens all the time–it’s always a good idea to randomly check your links from time to time.
Before you get too upset, remember, this may not have been intentional. Just drop the webmaster an email and give him/her a few days to correct the situation or else you’ll drop the link.
I’ve had that happen to me, too. Sometimes I contact the webmaster, and other times I just take down the link. It depends on the value of the link. If my link was on a PR4 or PR5 page, you can bet that I’ll be sending an email.
Sometimes, if they put your link on dynamically generated links page, it can be pushed off the original page… i.e. it can be pushed to Page 2, or 3, etc. I don’t like this type of setup; I prefer my links to remain on the same page, permanently.
I only link to people I know and trust.
So it’s not a problem.
Besides – I am convinced that outgoing links have value also.

I would drop an email first also. I just recently upgraded my link exchange, must are not in the same place anymore. Sometimes things happen. One email then remove link. Just my 2 cents.
good point Dom!
it might be even more worthfull as we can imagine
i only copied a page from dmoz
(no content penalize!!)it was pr3 straigt away!!
by the way
here is the link

just 2 of my sites linking to it (like pr3 they are)Outgoing links will make engines understand what is your theme / niche.
Reciprocate links don’t have the same value of the past. Some engines are even targeting them…Check every link once a month and just remove the dead links…..it’s simple.
Don’t waste your time.:rasta:In the old days we would call a parasite like this “A flea on a Dogs Ass” Get out the Black Flag …let’s rid the earth of this kind of trash.
who was it worldpeace? lol.I had a situation similar to yours but the website that I had an link exchange with, they just closed down all of a sudden. I didn’t find out till 5 month later. those guys should have emailed all of us, that they were closing down. :1Dialog:
Hey guys, I’m ready for some link exchange here. :woohoo:inbox me. My site is 83% complete now, lol. :woohoo:
