    Actually my guitar_links.html PR4 page is showing up when I check backlinks to my homepage. But given that this seems pretty new its probably a good idea to change it to something else.

    Good point :) Currently, Google seems to only have a problem with pages named "links.___" - I think the anchor text is important as well, the few "links.__" pages I've seen in backlinks have anchor text other than "Links".

    Pages like "guitar_links" are showing up just fine - I guess it tells Google that it's not just a plain "links" page and that's, currently, good enough for them ;)

    But the best suggestion would be quoted above - if possible, use a different name - I changed my "links" page into a "resource section" - it helps the few folks I've linked with because they'll get more PR from less crowded pages and there's no question Google will transfer that PR. And I get 10 pages to utilize for links....errr....resources ;)

    I had a couple sites up and a couple sites down. Most of the ones that went down are due to dropping forum backlinks which is to be expected.

    I disagree with shawn on this one.

    I doubt google discredits pages called "links"- in fact i'm almost sure of it.

    some "links" pages show on our backlinks queries.. but if you're worried I guess it doesn't hurt to change it

    Google might be making an effort to do this, but as of today I still show ibls to some of my sites from pages named "links".
