Stinky Linky - Need A Better Name For A Links Page in Navigation Menu

Once upon a time, long long before the Advent Of Panda (never mind the Flight of the Penguin), it became very clear that calling a links page a links page was an invitation to get Google PageRank stripped whether you were link scheming or not.

I tended to favor "Resources" and I still think a Resource page is a reasonable thing to have. But I am developing a site for an author and he wants a "links" page to link to organizations he belongs to ... "Resources" doesn't feel right and I want an alternative that will please him and not suggest that we are trading links. He is not interested in SEO at all, in any case, and we might stay with "links," but I just think it is something of a 'pariah' term and I want to explore alternatives.

Any thoughts?

TIA.

I thought about Friends, but it felt a little too casual. But "Our Friends" feels a little better ... Thanks, Bob!

If they are all organizations, why not just use that term? Or, proudly associated with:

You're welcome. That just popped into my mind. While I probably saw it used somewhere and it sounded good, I have no idea where.

I tend to lean towards organizations, as well.....sounds professional...

Maybe.."our organizations"....or "organization friends"......

I thought of "Affiliations" today ... and rejected it for length ... and it almost looks like Affiliates! Ack! I will mull on "Organizations" despite its length ...

Thanks!!

Associates? Associations? Credentials? Resume? I suppose it depends on the types of organizations and what role they play. But if it fits, I do like "Friends".
