RE: 16k links

What is wrong with that?

I'd sure like to see basic link guidelines from Google on this. At the conference Google said to use "user experience" as the guideline, and as Sly notes there are many instances where 2 large sites would crosslink naturally - in fact in the early days this was standard practice to make sure people noted your friend's website.

That said I would NOT have done this if I had all the info I have now about how Google seems to frown on this type of linking.
