Just make sure it is still readable without loading graphics. When I go 
wandering round the net I tend to do it with graphics turned off until I 
come to a page that looks like it might be interesting. Then I turn 
graphics on and reload the page. If your links are graphical in nature 
then stick in an ALT text label as well.

If you want to see what I mean, try the Vauxhall car pages with graphics 
off.

Any advice above is worth what I paid for it.
