In general my opinion is that 99.9999% of the pages I have viewed with 
"back-to-the-top" links are poorly designed.

How long is the page? Your short note appears to indicate that the page is 
so long, that people will scroll down, and then you are worried that they 
won't want to scroll back up. If your concern is that the visitor is so far 
from the navigation when they scroll down keep the navigation in a non 
scrolling frame. If your concern is that it's just a really really long 
page then rethink the manner in which content is delivered and shorten the 
page.

Without a link constructive feedback is difficult.
