Add/Suggest Your Site Guidelines
Welcome fellow web masters, Business owners, and
Marketers.
VERY IMPORTANT! Please read the following
in order to get your site(s) listed in the Externalharddrive web portal.
How to get
a Excellent listing!
1) Link
back to us from your site
In order to be fair to the sites
that link back to us, a link back to us is required. Besides, if
our site(s) is/are good enough that you want your site to be listed here
then we are worthy of a link back to our site.
2) Link
back to us before submitting your site
All Suggested
sites are visited by a human. We are growing, expanding, updating, upgrading
and visiting sites that have submitted in the past to verify the links
to us remain (as thier link will remain on our site). Sites are generally
viewed within 24 hours of submission (often within 5 minutes) and we can
not revisit new sites several times to verify reciprocal links.
Note to Web Marketing and SEO
companies: You are charging customers for web marketing and SEO
services and then submitting your customers sites here. We figure
if we do not charge for our listings, others should not profit from our
listings either. However, we are willing to add sites for webmarketers
and SEO companies (bulk addresses even) but EACH site we add must provide
a link back to us and NOT from a "Links" page.
3) A
link back from a list of links on a link page is useless and will not be
accepted as a link back.
Links back to us SHOULD NOT be from
Links pages or Link Partner Pages.
We maintain directories.
When you submit your site to us we add your site exactly where it should
be listed. By both, topic and location. From us you will receive highly
targeted traffic and excellent sales ratios (or visitor interest if you
are not selling anything). We do not even have a "links" page.
(Furthermore.... top search engines
penalize sites which enchange links purely to gain popularity. It is pretty
easy to figure out that sites swaping links with sites with "links", and
"resources" pages are doing exactly that).
4) Link to
a page that has content relevant to the site (or page) you are submitting
or link to Our Home Page
Links back to us should link to either
our home page or to a page that has content relevant to the site (or page)
you want to submit.
5) Use proper
link text, description, or image
Externalharddrive.com has a .wav
files directory. We do not want you to link to Externalharddrive.com with
a link called ".wav files"
Our sites have many topics and we
do not want to appear like we are limited to one topic. Either link to
the appropriate page with the correct text or link to our main page.
