Also, as noted in the title, what should be done with existing links pages at this point in time? - Strip them to only the very few that actively add value to the site - Keep them as is - Keep them but set for bots to ignore (in case the rules change next week) - ????

But, the value of links from off-topic reciprocal links pages is not as high as it used to be. As for your current links pages and what to do with them, I would keep them and make sure that there's not a lot of outgoing links on them (keep it to under 25 or so). If you have more than 25 outgoing links on the page I would make a new page if necessary. Also, I would add content to the page as well so that it's not just a "page full out links". (Copy Shortcut)

We bought a recip-links package before I found this site and learned that lots of what I knew a few years ago no longer applies. Truthfully, I like the direction the engines are taking these days with site content and people-useful pages being the way forward. (Copy Shortcut)
