Linking Tips

• Exchange links with sites that complement your site.
  
  
• Review a potential web site to:
  
  
  • Look for a link/resources page.
  • Look for suggested link code, titles and phrases.
  • Look for link categories relevant to your site.
  • Note a unique or well executed feature of the site.
  
  
• When contacting a webmaster:
  
  
  • Contact the webmaster through email.
  • Introduce yourself and get quickly to the point.
  • Sincerely complement the webmaster on something specific about his/her site.
  • Have a link to the webmaster's site already on your site.
  • Use HTML link code from the web master's web site if provided.
  • Include a link to your links page so the webmaster can quickly verify the link on your site.
  • Include the HTML link code in your email so the webmaster can quickly post a link to your site.
  • Format your HTML link code to match style of the webmaster's other links.
  • Suggest a category for your link if the webmaster's links are divided by category.
  
  
• Keep fewer than 20 links on a link page, use multiple pages or categories if necessary. Pages with more than 20 external links may be viewed as link farms or FFA (free-for-all) link pages which are banned by the search engines. (The amount of 20 is our best guess.)
  
  
• Monthly check your links to make sure they are still active, remove inactive links. We suggest:
  
  
  • NetMechanic: Power Tools for Your Web Site - Only $50 per/year to check for broken links, HTML errors, identify slow loading pages & images. - A must have for any serious webmaster. (Web Service - We are a subscriber and an affiliate.)

  • Webmaster Tools Central - Free 100 page trial to check 100 pages. Sign up for automatic checks for only 1 penny per page. (Web Service)
    
    
• Put a link to your links/resources page on your home page to be sure it is available to visitors and the search engine spiders. This ensures that the search engines will index your links pages (which is a primary benefit to those who exchange links with you).
  
  
• Keep your links pages in your root web site folder to make it easier for the earch engines to find them. Some search engines will not index pages in subfolders.
  
  
• Put some content on each of your links pages to make them more appealing to the search engines. Write a paragraph or two about the link category or each group of links or add an article about the category topic. Some sources for free articles (you must include the author's byline and information):
