Building-up a link page on your website and trading links with other like-minded sites is highly recommended considering search engines' technology and the nature of the www. Don't put any old junk there since the links will be associated with your content, and the most sophisticated search engine will lower your rank if they detect inconsistency between your website's content and the content of other websites linking to yours. So gambling sites, sites under constructions and sites with poor, illegal or irrelevant content are to be avoided.
