AKA you may want to consider the above also when looking at your back links.

In my experience this isn't true.. I don't think blogroll and footer links cause penalties, they're just devalued and therefore don't help much. This is because these kinds of links are typically easy to get and are usually obtained through link trades. (And yes Google can detect ABCD trades). There's a big difference between penalties and link devaluation.
