That illustrates my point exactly, shep_man!

I've received some major $$$$$ myself as a result of people finding my site on links pages. Therefore, a certain amount of my business is not dependant on Google.

Furthermore, this is evidence that reciprocal link programs have benefits beyond Google. I think sometimes get so caught up with linking for the sake of PageRank that they fail to think of the other benefits.
