Please follow this simple procedure if you wish your site to be
considered for link exchange. We only accept link requests using
this procedure to save us both time - thank you.
Strictly 'on-topic' link exchanges (sites with similar subject matter) or
in our near geographical area will be considered, all others will be
binned without acknowledgment. Our link exchange requirements are
below (step 3).
STEP 1 - our link on your site
Please place a link to us on your page using these details:
Title:
Hassocks Neighbourhood Watch
URL:
http://www.hassocksnhw.org.uk
Description:
Community crime prevention NHW website in west Sussex, UK with local
news, information, reports and advice on crime and security related
issues.
Logo:
If you wish you can place our logo against the link - right click
image, save picture as - and upload to your server.
Important - Ensure you place our link on your page before
submitting your link details (form in Step 2). If our automated
spider cannot find our link at the URL string you specify in the form
field 'Reciprocal link URL' your request will be automatically rejected.
Please check our link exchange requirements below before submitting the
form:
STEP 2 - your link on our site
Please supply your site details using this form. Only requests
received via a correctly completed form will be considered - it sends to
our link manager, requests submitted by any other means will likely be
ignored as they'll reach the wrong person.
All fields are required:
We'll send an e-mail to verify your e-mail address containing an
activation link, if this is not activated your request will be
binned. Thereafter we'll e-mail when your site is approved or
declined. Please allow 2 - 3 weeks for reply.
Privacy - We only use your supplied details for the
purpose of processing your link request and informing you of the
outcome. By submitting this form we collect your IP address &
user agent to report form abuse.
STEP 3 - Our link exchange requirements
Most of these are required to be met for your site to be
considered in order to maintain the integrity of this site. Please
don't bother to submit your site if it doesn't come anywhere near, it'll
be ignored along with junk requests! The only exception made to our
linking criteria is to other local Neighbourhood Watch sites and very new
sites at our discretion:
Our link must be clearly user navigable within 3 clicks from your
home page
Your site content must have close relevance to our site, be written
in English, not under construction, should be maintained and not hosted
on free webspace
Your home page must have a Google PageRank (PR) of 3 or more, your
links page should be indexed and ranked on Google
We won't link to sites that employ auto pop-up windows
We don't consider sites with adult, gambling, pharmaceutical, hate
content or sites that promote illegal activities including sites that
contain links to such sites
Your link pages should be static URLs and hosted on-site
We don't like linking to sites with many (50+) links stuffed per page
- spread them over many pages if necessary
Your links shouldn't be of mixed site categories and they should be
rotated regularly
We don't link to link farms or sites that appear to spam the search
engines by using unethical practices
We check periodically to ensure that reciprocal linking is maintained
and will remove your site without notice if we cannot find our link
anymore.
