"Link to us" page

Does having a "link to us" page that gives the person all the html code they would need to link to the site make any difference or not. I don't say anything about linking back so that would probably deter them anyway but I was wondering if it really made a difference.

Doesn't hurt. On several of my pages, right on the main page, I place a 88x31 button for the site with "Link to us" right underneath it. I've gotten a few links this way.

Thanks, I guess you're right, it can't hurt anything.

I've found that the easier you make it for people to link to you the more links you'll get. I find that quite a few people use the cut and paste codes I provide.

I've never tried it, but I guess it must work as most sites I visit have this feature somewhere.

It is very easy to make a link to us page and having people link to you is a good thing. Hummm I think I will build a link to us page today

Hi, i started getting into the website business a couple of weeks ago.
its just a basic site with not much traffic ,but i feel i am doing well with Adsense at the moment. the next step for me is to get people linking to my ssite. i am wondering what is an example of the type of code that i could put on my page? is it simply a html hyperlink? would you recommend me making a button for people to put on their sites or is a text link just as succifient

I have submitted to search engines, but i still cant find my site on any of them

thank you for any help!

Here's an example of what I am doing: online import car show

Hope it helps.

Considering how many people I get emailing me asking permission to link to my literature site I think I should add a page like this myself.

**James** · 02-09-2005, 08:23 AM

So they want permission to link to it in general; not exchange links?

**Chris** · 02-09-2005, 08:28 AM

Yes. Some places, especially it seems schools, have "ask before linking" policies.

**James** · 02-09-2005, 05:04 PM

Ah yes. Come to think of it, I've seen a few of these before.

Do they actually hold water, or is it just a "It'd be dandy if you did this" sort of thing?

**Chris** · 02-09-2005, 07:04 PM

No, they have policies not to link out without permission of the place they're linking to.

Only a few weird companies have "don't link to us without permission" policies. They're stupid IMO but alot of public institutions, like schools, adopt "ask first" policies just in case.
