* Web site URL and a short description of web site and what it offers.
* Make a note of "special" features on web site which you can usefully put in your e-mail to *prove* you have actually visited site. This goes a long way to countering SPAM problems.
Step # 4 - Build Your Partner Link Directory. ---------------------------------------------
Build your Partner Link's directory using a separate HTML page for each distinct category.
Add URL link and comment for each qualified site into relevant category page(s).
Make your directory pleasurable to visit, where visitors find information quickly and easily.
Ensure ithe directory is easily found and reached from your main web pages.
Step 5 - e-Mail The Webmaster -----------------------------
Using e-mail addresses, write to each Webmaster you have linked to.
Tell them :
* The URL address of page where their link can be found
* Your own web site link information (URL and descriptive comments)
Finish by asking for a reciprocal link in their directory.
Make e-mail personal and you might like to use *special* feature note you made to help your request achieve success.
Step #6 - Maintain Your Directory ---------------------------------
A partner directory is a work in constant progress.
It must change quickly to reflect obsolete, dead, new, and modified links and web sites.
This maintains it's usefulness to your visitors.
Depending on size, verifying links may be more than you can achieve easily by your own efforts. Offer prizes to visitors who find and inform you of links that are no longer useful.
Maintenance also means giving added prominence to entries for other webmasters who respond to your mail and tell you that they have added your link and web site information to their own directories.
You can add a small graphic next to each Partner link making it stand out from other web sites that have not provided a reciprocal links.
Remember your directory exists to provide useful content to your visitors. Do not immediately remove a non reciprocating web site, if it adds value to your visitors.
Step #7 - Repeat ----------------
Go through six steps above regularly and over a period of 3 to 6 months you should notice a significant and sustained rise in targeted traffic from complimentary sites as well as a rise in search engine rankings for your specific keyword phrases.
