Yes, it's all about the quality and relevance for me. But I don't link out to many sites, period.

I did, for the first time, find one rather nasty reference to the ads on my own site; a major newspaper linked to it and said it was extremely useful information, but too bad there were ads. (Of course, there were tons of ads on the newspaper site, but ...) In any event, the ads didn't seem to bother the official state website nor the state senate website (both .govs) which had no problem linking to me.
