One of the major problems with linking in general is that you have to revisit all of the places you link to in order to make certain the sites haven been repurposed or corrupted.

I just had a really good lesson in this on one of my sites. I visited all my link exchange "parthers". All are relevant and done personally after discussions with site owners.

About 30% of then had been taken down.

It is extremely frustrating.
