Link Exchange Guidelines

GUIDELINE UPDATE PLEASE READ: Due to an overwhelming number of link requests daily we must now be even more selective. Therefore, we have implemented a "minimum page rank" guideline. A Google Page Rank of no less than 1 per every 25 links found on the page we are to be listed on is now a required minimum. The fact that there can be no more than 50 links on the page we are to be listed on still applies. If you are unsure of your Google Page Rank you can download the Google Toolbar. Page Rank is listed under "options" in the toolbar.

We are looking for only a few more family suitable businesses to exchange links with. Before listing a link to you we must first review the content of your site. We will not list sites with adult content, pop-ups, or questionable content. We reserve the right to refuse or remove sites with unacceptable content. We firmly believe in strong business relationships between us, our clients, and advertising partners. We do not honor link requests in which you push link partner links to another domain.

A link to your resource page(s) MUST be found easily from your homepage.
Please Note: We do not hide our links page and we will not accept links from sites that hide their links page. When we agree to exchange links it is because we are "proud" to support you. It is no less than a handshake! This is more than a link page. This is an affiliate page. If you want an affiliate that supports your business please contact us.

Our link should read as follows (select one): Text does not need to be bolded. Format the text to fit the appearance of your site. In that respect we are not picky. We also recommend that you read this statement before submitting a link request.

Once this is done, and the content of your site deemed appropriate, we welcome you to fill out this Link Request Form .

It should also be noted that if you have designed your site in such a manner that your "Back button" is disabled we will deny a link exchange. This is very aggravating to site visitors. We believe visitors should enjoy their internet experience and should not be annoyed with pop-ups, pop-unders, misdirection, or disabled back buttons.

FYI: We review our links daily. We remove not only dead links but also links to sites that fail to hold up their end of a "reciprocal link exchange". You may notice a few sites are listed as [LINK REMOVED]. Why would we do this? These are sites that have agreed to an exchange, then not reciprocated within 4-6 weeks or removed us without notice. This is a common unethical linking practice in order to build search engine placement. We are a very honest , quality-driven and customer-driven organization and feel a little bad PR for unethical site owners is more than fair. If an organization is dishonest in their linking practices we feel the public should be aware of it as it may reflect a level of dishonesty in their business practices. Those that are removed are given the opportunity to re-establish a link within 3 days. Meanwhile they remain listed as [LINK REMOVED]. Once the 3 days has expired they are permanently removed.

Note to website visitors: If you click on a link to one of our affiliate's websites listed in our resource pages and see any reason whatsoever that you feel we should remove their link please contact us at this address . Describe your negative experience and we will remove their link.
