What is a "quality link". It is a link that has many inbounds ( internal or external) to it and no more.

What about relevance? Did you find it didn't matter?

If it mattered, did it apply to both kinds of links?

The 'links pages links' were part of a standard link exchange scheme, and (of course) were rapidly discounted, often with a bad neighborhood. But were the 'in page' links also part of a link exchange, or were they a 'one off' arrangement?

I'm still not flaming (I'm really not!), but I'm interested in how your study was set up, as I think the conclusions you've drwn are very interesting; BUT being a sad old sceptic, I'm interested in seeing if any other conlusions are equally valid.
