Sorry I'm so late in responding. I've been busy with a new version of the site. I am not part of any link network. Those are all just sites that I exchanged links with. Mostly directories that had very high
PR and incoming links and in order for me to get a link back they required a link from my homepage. Just from the traffic I get from the directories, it's worth it.
I did contact MSN but haven't heard back and it's been a few weeks.
Thanks very much for your suggestions.
