Does a link page work anymore ?

Hi,

I would like to see my site performing better in organic search.

In the past eCommerce sites would add a suggested links page. The page would contain a number of links
to other useful sites an partners.

Does this type of thing work anymore?

Thanks,
Declan

Having links in your web pages pointing to external web sites only helps them.  You need external sites having links pointing to your site.

If you do this too much, Google will get angry

I suppose the point of link pages is to swap links , rather than just sending links out from your website.
So does the benefit of a link pointing to your website, out weight a link pointing outwards.

Thanks for the link Mat, I had a look, I think a link scheme would be a site with many, many links. So something in the 100's.
A link page I was thinking about, would be maybe 10-20 eCommerce links or relevant to your website.
