Here is my list of 'RULES' for link exchange:

• I only do on-topic link exchange so don't waste my time and yours if you can't see a page that suits on the lists below.  By on-topic I mean I will put sports on my swimming sites, pets on my portrait site (because it has pet portraits), contact lenses on 'eye ailment' pages on my health site  and so on.
• PR3 and upwards preferred.  P2 only if you have a good content page.   No PR1 unless you are offering me a home page link.
• I prefer good content pages and will give you the same.  I try not to use link pages any more.  If you are offering only a link page then I will offer a comparable link page back but frankly I think we are both not helping ourselves much.
• No site-wide link exchange unless VERY on-topic. By this I mean I won't put your football site site-wide on my swimming site nor will I put your pharmacy site on my natural health site.  I may put your games site on one of my games sites or your psychic site on my psychic site.
• I don't like links pages (or home pages) that you have abandoned and intend to stuff with any and all links on all topics.
• I don't like directories.  I will only accept your directory link if you are offering a fair deal, ie your PR4 page for my PR3 content page, your PR3 for my PR2.  No directories below PR3 on the links page.

Google PageRank Explained

PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important."

Important, high-quality sites receive a higher PageRank, which Google remembers each time it conducts a search. Of course, important pages mean nothing to you if they don't match your query. So, Google combines PageRank with sophisticated text-matching techniques to find pages that are both important and relevant to your search. Google goes far beyond the number of times a term appears on a page and examines all aspects of the page's content (and the content of the pages linking to it) to determine if it's a good match for your query.

Yahoo now has it's own version called WebRank about which Yahoo says "Web Rank is a measure of how popular a web page is based on the number of links pointing at it."

We have no doubt that it won't be long before all search engines have their own version of Pagerank.
