>>>I certainly don't want to do anything that could be seen as negative as I already rank nicely but there is always room for improvement.

Then I wouldn't be debating the different ways to fool Google into thinking these are one way links. Because that is essentially what you would like to do. Am I saying fooling Google is wrong... no - but you may not want to do it with a well established, well ranking site you care about.

>>>Should I just be thinking of doing some kind of javascript link that can't be followed?

That's most definitely how I would do it.

>>>The people linking to me don't know or care about my link back.

That's a big assumption. Don't be surprised if one or two install a "tracking system" after they realize what you're doing to return the favor.

My honest opinion is that if this site is ranking well and the relationships with these other sites make sense, then go get some *new* inbound links to improve your ranks - not manipulate Google with the old ones.
