Please do not direct link to an image on my website, without prior written
permission.
 We are currently re-organizing and updating all our links. We will add to these
link pages during our clean-up process, which will take a couple of weeks.
Thank you visiting, our link pages, and please bookmark and return, we will
have more links re-organized and our pages of link ready for viewing.
A TidBit from Collectible Treasures Antique and Collectibles relating to links.
During sheduled checking of links we have placed on our site, we have found
a link that was going to an Adult site, not the original antique site we listed
upon their request many months earlier. We had no notification of the antique
site converting over to an Adult site. Therefore for a space of time, unknowingly
we were linking to an adult site, until our sheduled checking of links and we
found the unfavorable misleading link. We immediately deleted the link, and
issured a new "linking policy".
How do we safe guard our links to our related linking partners? I have found,
that checking our links often, will help in catching any converted sites and deal
quickly with the offending link.
Also there are a number of linking partners, whether knowingly or un-knowingly,
have a no follow within their robots txt that will give no credit what so ever to a
recip link within their linking pages or directories. Where we might be sending
them a visitor or two, and they pick up a ranking from our link clicked on to
theirs, as I have read and understand, and if I am mis-taken and your read this,
please let me know, ( for alot of the reading on linking info and such can get
confusing ), but if I understand correctly what I read then you want a linking
partner that does not bury your link within a large directory, that gets no
attention or gives you a ranking when your link is clicked from within their
directory. Thus, you are giving a linking with good google or other search within
your html, and the link thus benefits your linking partner, but your link buried
within a directory that does not get indexed in the search engines, doesn't do
you much good on acquiring a credit from the link within their directory
when clicked on to your website. You may get a few visitors here and there,
but no ranking benefit.. Any comments or suggestions as to whether I am right
or whether I mis-understood the info that I have thus far read? Send email to
me and I will add your comment within our link info for others to read and benefit
from. No email or names will be noted within your comment listed. Sending any comment relating to this topic, will be your permission to list a short comment
within our link info page.
We list our links within pages of our website, individual pages, not within a
directory, or a link directory off our site. Each link before listed is check and
upon approval, listed on one of our related link pages. We have added quite a
few link pages, with a limit of 5 to 10 links on a page, but we are re-organizing,
after re-checking the original link, to see if it still goes where it was originally
intended, we will be listing up to 20 links to a page, and re-serving our
additionally added links pages, for future use, or using them for related info,
rather than deleting them from our webpages, as they are already listed in the
search engines. I am considering using the additionally added links pages,
that we have for link info and comments from other webmasters, as how they
update their link pages, and any experience they might of had of linking
problems found within their link pages after originally placing a link approved,
that might have been redirected to some website they would not have listed on
their site at all!
After-all if we don't personally oversee our link pages, and update them often,
then how are we going to know if that originally placed innocent link we knew
benefit our site visitors, has changed to an adult site or porn site, that we might
be unknowingly sending our visitors too? Yes it is time consuming, tedious,
and most undesirable work with alot of long hours involved, but it must be done
to ensure we are referring our visitors where we intended to not to a totally
undesirable website, that they might hit upon from with in one of our links page!
If your have an extremely large link directory, that you never deal with, put on
automatic, how secure is it in taking measures to send your visitors to the
intended related site? I personally rather do my own link pages, and check
them regularly myself. Then I know where they are going.!
I personally don't like the ideal, of a website using my website as a linking
possibibility for any adult or porn site, and I have in checking my links found
this to have occurred. I also do not like an adult related site, or porn site, to
list my website as a related site within their links. I also have found this in
hunting down inbound links to my website that I did not request, or give
permission to list my site within their adult link pages. I guess antique and
collectibles have a most popular listing in the search engines. I am a family
friendly site, and do not visit porn or adult sites, nor do I wish to, and I certainly
do not want my website listed on their related links pages. Browse my website,
read over my pages, there is not any thing within them or on them that in any
way relates to adult or porn. My site is quite large for me, close to 300 pages,
that I personally must update and add to, so I spend quite a few hours within a
month on those pages, not even considering the online catalog which had at
one time, over 2400 items within its data base. My logs are showing a couple of permentently moved redirects I am unware of, of which I did not do, so I am
checking all my webpages, although this will take some time to complete, to see
if any of my pages have been somehow hijacked.
My website on my first hosting company, after about six months online, was
hijacked to a different url. Someone had broke into my hosting domain and
directed the url to a different website. Fortunately I noticed it quickly, and
remedied the problem, but it cost me about 4 days of my site's domain name
going to a totally different website.! Wow you almost got to be a detective,
along with all the other hats one has to wear in being a webmaster.
Ok that is why we are re-organizing our related links and you will see a
number of the link pages almost empty until I complete this process.
Hopefully it will not take to long. But I want to ensure all my links are going
exactly where they were originally intended to, and take care of and ensure
that no site is placing our website link thus,mis-leading visitors which
are looking for antique and collectibles, or info on such, end up on an adult
or porn related site, that I had no knowledge of or intention of sending them
there.! I have found it really pays to check links often.!
Oh, on forethought, I have run across, some websites, who are referring to an
item that I have in inventory, as a comparison to similar item they have for sell,
cheaper than mine, and the reference is fine, as comparison is good, but they
are linking directly to an image or item that I would rather they simply place in
a text such as: refer to url: http:etc, not direct link to the image or item. Ebay
has a couple of reference as such, and although in a way I am pleased that
someone on Ebay is sending visitors to my site, I don't much appreciate the
direct linking or implications they imply in doing so. Anyone else of our
linking partners have any problems such as this? Email me with your solution
or comments. How do you keep a clean family safe linking list within your
webpages? What do you do when someone direct links to an image on your
site without prior notice or permission, or reference your site in the negative
form? What do you do when you find a link within your link pages, that have
been converted to an adult or porn site, and you have unknowingly been
sending your visitors to their site? I think the only way to ensure that doesn't
happen or catch it before it affects your website's reputation, is to check those
links personally, one by one, and check them often. !
