You can switch what to show on each category by using in_category().

Thanks for your answer! But how do I choose what category I want to display on each page? Is there a way to “call” for the content when editing my linkpages or do I need to make 11 different link-template files?

Sorry I misunderstood the question. Different pages for each category templates – alright, how about this:
Simplest way is change the code in the Links template to this:
<?php $link_cat = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'link_cat', true);
wp_list_bookmarks('category=' . $link_cat); ?>
and add a custom field with key:link_cat and category ID in value.

Another way is to use a shortcode. Place this code:
function bookmarks_shortcode($attrs = array(), $content = null) {
return wp_list_bookmarks($attrs);
}
add_shortcode('bookmarks', 'bookmarks_shortcode');
in the functions.php in theme directory, and add [bookmarks] in the content.
<ul>
[bookmarks category=2]
</ul>
You can use this in any Posts/Pages and Templates.
The same options as the wp_list_bookmarks template tag can be used to control the output.

Thank you so much! It worked perfect with the shortcode!
Is there a parameter to exclude the showing of the name of the category, have it also as titel of the pages and it feels a bit stupid to print it twice on each page (ex. http://www.modellrallaren.se/?page_id=377) The “category_name” isn’t about excluding the name as far as I understod.

Good to hear it worked.
To hide the category name,
haven’t tried but this should do:
[bookmarks category="2" categorize="0" title_li=""]
