The Pope can't get a link on my homepage.

Unless they are a partner or affiliate site I would never recommend linking out on your homepage.  Good luck with the link building, here are a few other posts that might help you get started...

The Pope can have one of mine if I can have one on his.

That would be a great deal!  Hope you can get it.
