Link Partners
Project Type: N/A
One small, but effective, way to get your name and website address out there is to swap links with link partners.
What’s a link partnership?
Link partnering is when you find people/websites with similar
interests, goals, audiences or complimentary ones and you exchange
links. You’ll see many authors with a list of author friends on their
website. This is very common on blogs; it’s called a blogroll. It’s
definitely something to consider and a great way to support your
fellow authors and favorite sites. It’s also a great way to get your
name out there.
When swapping links there are a couple of things to consider.
How much space are you willing to devote. Many authors have buttons and
banners for others to use. In other words, a graphic to post on your
site. Alternately, you just post links.
Consider dividing your links into categories. Giving visitors
categories makes it easy to find a link worth visiting. Examples:
Review sites, Authors, Friends, etc.
If you’re ready to start swapping links, we have a suggestion on where to begin.
Linking to the Cata Network and/or one of our sites
Each of our sites has a page called Link to Us. And it includes info
on how to link to us. But, we also have a page on our central website,
catanetwork.com, called Link to Us that has all sorts of graphics and
links for each of our sites. Even some extras. Definitely worth
checking out. There are even some blinkies on there for blinkie lovers.
