I am in the middle of all kinds of work today. I tore up my news blog after upgrading to 2.0 unsuccessfully. Remind me to remove add on themes next time I attempt that. (I hate database errors) Anyway, while in the middle of that, I get an email from a site asking me why I was no longer linking to them, and that they had temporarily suspended my link on their site. Is it too hard to manually look before letting those emails go out? It's there, its SEO friendly. Gotta love the "link management assistant". Evidently, its little spider failed reading 101 before it was sent out to check for links. /rant
Yeah I know the feeling. That's why I don't do link trading much anymore. I have a lot of free stuff people link to me with so that's enough for me to rank.
