How do I add an "Add URL" form to my site?
|
|
Example
| Show your visitors that you're interested in exchanging links. You can find an example here:
|
| If someone fills out that form, we'll receive an email message with the link exchange data. It depends on your web space provider how you can set up such a contact form.
|
The simplest way: a mailto link
| For a start, a simple "Interested in exchanging links? Drop us a line!" link to your email address will also work, for example:
|
| Interested in exchanging links? <a href="mailto:your@emailaddress.com?subject=LinkExchange">Drop us a line!</a>

Why ARELIS does not automatically add sites from your web site
| ARELIS doesn't automatically add sites from your web site form to your link directory. The reason for that is that you'd get lots of low quality and spam entries in your link directory.
|
| If your link directory page accepted auto-submissions, you'd quickly be included in many "auto submitters" software programs and be treated as a search engine so that you'd get hundreds of low quality submissions without a link back to your site.
|
| If people could easily add their own links to your link pages, your web site would also be considered as an FFA page by the search engines, or, even worse, as a link farm.
|
| ARELIS helps you to build high quality link pages that are useful for visitors and that have a positive effect on your search engine rankings. For that reason, ARELIS doesn't support an auto-add feature.
