      I have a second question to put forward!

      Probably close to 8 years ago I exchanged a link with a good friend's construction company, Grace Construction.  We are a local fence company in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.  They were new home builders and we sometimes would build a fence for their new home owners.  They wrote a positive review of our business and I published it on our reviews page: (it's near the very bottom)

      http://www.a-better-fence-construction.com/fence-reviews.html

      And, they linked to our website from their website.

      However, now after 8 years, they no longer build homes and have let their domain name expire and has been repurchased by a construction company in Florida.

      I had linked to their website from the text and the image of their logo.  I am not up to speed on what is best practice.  What do you recommend I do?

        So it will not hurt you

          I would remove the link.  You can keep the testimonial and logo.  Removing the link will not impact your rankings.
