NOTES ABOUT LINKS/LINK EXCHANGE
Oh!Boyd links to websites that are related, useful and/or interesting to us.
Any PERSONAL request from an actual site owner to have his/her site URL and description added to the Oh!Boyd Links page is cheerfully considered. If the business is of interest and/or related to Oh!Boyd and appears to be legitimate, offers a good product or useful information, and is NOT filled with advertising, then the link is added to this page out of business courtesy.
Regarding Link Exchange Requests:
Any reciprocal link exchange must connect to/from this site and the requestor's site, and the requestor's links page must be easily accessible to site visitors from within the requestor's other pages.
Some requests for linkage are ignored...completely. Dating services, pornographers, drug sellers, websites full of advertising, etc. don't need any help from Oh!Boyd.
In regard to all ads, except for reciprocal ad postings on their sites or free search engine submissions, there is no reward to Oh!Boyd for listing ads here.
If you find a linked site objectionable, please let me know, so I can investigate and remove the link, if necessary.)
WARNING #1: Link Farm* requests for exchange are reported as SPAM. No exceptions. PR and SEO take work. Don't get sucked in by promises that are too good to be true. Black Hat link farming tactics will not be tolerated.
WARNING #2: Also reported as SPAM -Another "Black Hat" tactic - E-mail link exchange requests that include a URL to the requestor's website links page, but the rest of the website does not offer or obscures visitor accessibility to that links page from within the website.
WARNING #3: I am getting pretty irritated with the bogus Link Exchange stuff, and pretty soon I'm going to start publishing a list of sites that are wasting my time with their dishonest and lazy attempts at building PR.
-----------------
* Link Farm - a round about linking system to fool Search Engine Spiders and artificially build Page Ranking. Considered to be a "black hat" tactic, link farm requests often will offer to or automatically add the Oh!Boyd URL to a giant directory or other site in exchange for adding your site's URL to the Oh!Boyd links page. Rather than helping in achieving good page ranking, the participating sites are often penalized by the search engines.
ADVICE FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN AT IT AWHILE: Present a good product and a good website, work hard on your SEO, and follow the Search Engine ethical guidelines, and your Internet business will do well. Build your business without fooling other site owners, without fooling your potential customers, and without manipulating the search engines, and you will be delighted with your positive and steady progress. Good luck to you and if I can be of help, just ask. -- Mary
