I get quite a bit of email requesting link exchanges and sales, so I felt it was time to officially present my policy on the matter to save us all time and hassle.

1. I will only free-link resources which I either personally endorse or feel provide useful, pertinent content to my visitors. I cannot personally guarantee the quality of the links – particularly as time goes on (sites disappear, change, &c.) – but I do make an effort to link only useful and interesting sites.

2. I do not link dating sites, random online communities (unless I have had good firsthand experiences with the communities in question), or sites that go beyond my general PG-13 comfort level – and this goes for paid links as well as free ones. That being said, sometimes Google Ads serves up some oddities; while I try to weed out Google adlinks that don’t meet my standards, the nature of the AdSense beast is unpredictable. For that reason, don’t use the Google Ads you see on my site as a measure of your potential success.

2. In general, I do not free-link commercial sites. On occasion, I will free-link a commercial site that I feel contains significant free content OR has provided me with excellent service, but this is relatively rare.

3. Any paid advertisements (including links) appearing on my site will be marked as such. This usually means that they will be accompanied by some sort of sponsorship proviso for the sake of my visitors, as well as a rel=nofollow link tag attribute for the sake of Googlebot.

4. All linking and ad agreements are unique. Rates, placement, and other agreement elements will vary with circumstances.

5. I reserve the right to remove links, paid or otherwise, that point to content which I feel is offensive (to me or my site visitors), fraudulent, technically dangerous (e.g. points to sites infested with malware, &c.), and the like.

6. I reserve the right to change and add to my policy – without notice – as time goes on.

Thank you.
