Linking Information
The Way The World Wide Web Works
Phew, that's a lot of Ws! Try saying that while looking in the mirror. Do you
look like a goldfish or what? Seriously though, if you are unsure about the wisdom of linking to
other sites you should read this article about the way the web was conceived: and the way it really
works. If you've ever been frustrated by conventional searching, or the difficulty of attaining
a decent search engine 'ranking', it should strike a chord – and perhaps lead to a rethink
about how to find, and make things more findable, on the WWW. Click here to read the
article.
Linking To Us
We welcome all links from websites that recognize the value of the resources we
offer here. To make things easy we have included some readymade links that you can copy and
paste into your pages. We have included two text links of differing sizes, two 'button' links
and a banner. Click here to go to our Link Options page.
Linking To You
To have your site featured in our link directory and reap the
benefit of the resulting traffic, please read and take note of our Link Acceptance Policy
(below), then email the information requested under What We Need
From You. Please note that we do not accept all submissions so don't be offended if
your request is turned down (we always explain why when this happens).
Special consideration is given to link trade submissions but be sure to
actually include our link on your site first. We will
want to view it to judge its suitability for inclusion. The procedure for trading
links is the same as outlined above, except that you need to include the address of the link
page on your site that shows a link to ours (item 5 below).
What We Need From You
- The correct title of the website you are submitting
- A brief description of what it is about
- The site address (URL)
- The category you think it should go in (optional)
- The URL of our link (in the case of link trade submissions)
To do this, send an email to the following email address with Link Submission in the Subject
line. Please note that we use a protection code to hide the address from spam robots so you will
be required to click on the '...' first and answer a question. We apologize for this but really,
it only takes a moment.

What You Will Get From Us
Traffic
The number one return for you, of course, is traffic, and hopefully lots of it.
We can't guarantee how much, of course, because that depends on things like demand for your
product or service, the way your link is worded, and so on, but our site traffic is certainly increasing in leaps and
bounds. Why not capture some of it?.
Valuable Content
Most website visitors are not aimlessly surfing but actually looking for
specific information. By trading links you get to add our content to yours, so to
speak, without having to diversify your own efforts. We undertake to display your Reciprocal
Links (those of yours on our site that are matched by our links on yours) for as long as you
do likewise. This produces results that can be relied on.
Visibility
If you become a Link Partner, special help is given to make your link
more visible. It gets displayed near the top of the page in its category and listed again
amongst the general entries (with a prominent star indicating that it is a Link Partner).
Instructions on how to become a Link Partner are included with the confirmation email we
send to to all webmasters displaying Reciprocal Links.
Readymade Link Options
We have a number of links already made up to make it easy for you to choose an
appropriate one. Click here to go to our Link Options page.
We judge the suitability of sites for inclusion in our link directory according
to the following criteria:
- Relevance – has information relating to 'writing'.
- Usefulness – has unique or original data, or a useful collection of data
sourced from elsewhere.
- Professionalism – has reasonable grammar (for easy readability), correct
spelling, sensible layout, straight-forward navigation etc.
- Responsibility – does not include extreme views such as race or gender hate,
nor a prevalence of foul language, gratuitous violence, pornography etc.
Our Other Sites
The following of our sites also have link directories and accept link
submissions, subject to similar criteria relating to relevance and quality. We recommend that
you visit the one(s) you are interested in to submit your request(s).
