What to call links section?

I have started exchanging links and would like to setup a small section on the site for it and give it a title but I don't want to give the impression that I am selling them or anything G would frown upon. Is 'partners' generaly accepted or what do you call yours?

I actually try to optimize link pages as much as possible, so I use a related keyword if I can dig any up.

For instance...I manage a site that sells pasta machines for restaurants. I did a quick keywords stats check and decided to name our link page "restaurant-resources" along with the title "Restaurant Manager Resources". This is a keyword phrase that's actually being used by our targeted customers, so how could I pass that up?

If you're running a retail site you'll often find that people use generic terms like "shops" or "store". Other terms could be "ideas" or "sites".


I figure if you're going to create a sitemap or links page then why not optimize it.

Hey, I was just looking at your site and found an incorrect link on this page...

http://www.lindonnetworks.com/rapidgaming.html

The link which should go to RapidGaming.com, actually goes to ServerTalk.org.

I agree. More than anything, avoid links.htm or anything like that.
