Have you noticed how many sites using linksmanager have been dropped in G lately?
Google and Yahoo have got very sophisticated in links analysis and I would have absolutly nothing on my sites that would indicate I am participating in any sort of link exchange.
See this thread:

Especially the quote from Yahoo I copied:

Here is an interesting comment made by Yahoo_Mike over at WMW:

No, Sites are not demoted based upon incoming links. The only exception is if a site is part of a reciprocal link system / link farm that only provide inlinks if the site has corresponding outlinks

GG has made similar references to link exchanges over at WMW.

This isn't exactly accurately and while GoogleGuy states numerous times that "link swapping schemes don't work" the key word there is "schemes"... which doesn't apply to all forms simply the ones commented on specifically.
DMOZ as an example is a link exchange program of sorts with 3 parts:
1. listings without recip,
2. banners for linking to top hierarchical categories, and
3. RDF dumps and data population
without parts 2 and 3 DMOZ itself would be as beneficial as it is, but is it a natural link sharing system nonetheless and in principle this form of doe work.
