I had a website with 2,540 backlinks from one link to a site in the sidebar and it was removed so forget your 100,000 or even your 50,000. If you don't know or haven't experienced the effects then don't say it won't happen.

Want to know what was even more astonishing? It doesn't matter if you divide it up or change it's position. Most sites link to the home page of another site. I had different pages linking to different pages on the other site to try and brake it up and stop Google noticing that they were link exchanges and therefore removing them. It didn't work. Google still worked out it was a link exchange even if the link was placed at different places in the page like above topic, under topic, after replies, in footer, header, sidebar.... didn't matter.

If you don't know or haven't experienced the effects then don't say Google won't notice.
So how can we exactly deal with link exchanging?
