I have done all that, we don't link to bad sites, have not been hacked
or gone down for long periods.

Also webmaster tools does not show outgoing links, only incoming.

I also can't see that I can be dropped for incoming links, time and
time again Google staff have said they just devalue the links not
penalize.

I'd appreciate if you could actually look at the site and give some
relevant insight, clearly I'm missing something.

Thanks.
