For example- I own a car site that deals with Lincoln and Cadillac - So how do I determine if google will consider a site selling brake pads is relevant to my site? Or another car site dealing with Chevys?

An easy way to get some rough idea is to cruise through the categories at ODP and see how closely they're topically related in the category structure.

>>Until they do, a link is still a link.

Nope, a link is not a link, not in all respects and there's more than one or two factors involved. And it can't be proven they all have equal value, not until there's a study that proves that all the concepts about relevant links in the academic papers for years are being totally ignored.

>pages

I think it's pages within a corpus of documents, which includes pages on the site and those connected by links.
