Yahoo most definitely does NOT like outgoing home page links.

I would caution all of our Members against Home Page links or any link exchanges at this time.

REW is again under a new Google penalty for yet another link scheme. It is not clear yet if that penalty will be passed through to REW clients yet.

Until more is known about what to and not to do with linking I strongly suggest we just abide by the Google's Webmaster Guidelines.

Just my 2¢ worth,

So I guess what you are saying is don't get links because you might get penalized? I know you weren't meaning that, but not sure how my post got compared to REW?

This is not a reciprocal exchange and its not even a 3 way link exchange.

Are you referring to the transfer of PR though homepage links, if so than I do agree with that, but through my research and experience, I have never seen a site penalized or drop in rankings on Google or Yahoo for giving away a link on the homepage.

If I am wrong, then I apologize, but I have yet to see how what I was asking or offerring was wrong?
