My sentiments exactly... it's not just in the initial linking but also periodically checking that the sites you link to haven't either morphed into something else or gone belly up and had the URLs hijacked - e.g., porn sites seem to wait for established domain names to come on the market and pounce on them to exploit the search engine rankings for as long as they can to divert people to their own sites.
