"The page where our url appears must not be a dynamic page with such symbols as "?".. "=".. "%"(Search Engines find it difficult to index this type of web pages)
The page where our url appears must not contain more than 50 external links. (Too many external links will be treated as "Link Farms" by search engines) "
About the first paragraph: what if the page has those symbols but is spidered, indexed and well ranked by SE's shows PR. Does it make any sense to deny a link coming for a page like that?
About the second: Google says that threshold is 100 links not 50, but I've seen that number many times... why less than 50?
It's unsightly, opportunity for receiving traffic from that page is minimized, and the amount of pr sent from that page is being shared with 49 other websites.

what martinithirster said, me too.
What they want is what every link exhanger is after, they want you to pass on some voting power to thier sites, some PageRank. So pass it on. Managing PageRank for equitably passing it on to your linking partners is a fairly easy thing to do. If you set your links up in a directory of categories, you can pass down significant PageRank to those pages without significantly eroding your homepage rank. These link categories should be 3rd level pages, they are at least two clicks from any other page on the site except for the main link directory page itself, which is how they are accessed.
By passing PR to these other sites, you become a more attractive linking partner and more sites are likely to exchange links with you. Generally, we don't exchange link with sites with more than 30 outbound links per page. My personal philosophy on this is to actively pass as much PR as I can, because this fuels the linking fire. I extimate I get about 25 to 30 times as much PR returned to me as I give out, on average, and that's bleeding my HomePage PRs by 1.5% to 2%. If I could get the homepage bleed down to less than 1%, then I would probably only get 5 to 10 times the return PR, and if I could get the homepages to bleed at up to 3%, I would probably get 100 times or more PR in return.
A lot of people don't get this concept.
Here's another tip: Put some major sites in your link directory (without recriprocation) and link to them using your major keyterms, link right to the page on those sites that have those keyterms. Some of my favorities are Nike, Sony, CNN, Dell, Amazon, Yahoo, Nasa, CIA, WTO, places like that.
I would never even look at exchanging links with a pr 4 and Near 100 links!
I wouldn’t really get much in return...
My pet hate is websites that have 100 links on each links page with 50 or so links pages called
01, 02, 03, 04, 05, OR
link1, link2, link3
It’s so annoying! (Or maybe its just me?)
I only bother with real links with a few links on the page and lots of content, even if it is a pr4 with content it makes it all the better...
Ive got to say people more and more are overlooking the potential that links pages actually have! It’s pointless having 100 links on the page... And that’s it!
It doesn’t help your visitors,
It doesn’t help webmasters,
And it doesn’t help the look of your site!
Just make it nice and useful! – That’s what it was intended for! (I think – hope!)
:~) lol RJ
It now shows as 44
Having just checked each one, the missing ones have a? or = in the URL to the link page
Coincidence?
183 confirmed links, including some excellent PR pages, but only 54 showing using "mysite.com", and only 11 showing in toolbar.
More than coincidence?
