Link Exchange  
 

Our Standard Link Exchange Guidelines

If you'd like to exchange links with us please email us [sales@hortonstores.com] the following information:  Your business' title, url, description (please keep it under 200 characters), which category of ours you want to be linked under and where we can find our link on your website.

Potential link partners meet the following requirements in order to be considered for partnership.

1.  Your website must be relevant in some way to our own (no adult sites, no pharmaceutical sites, etc)  relevancy is one of the #1 thinks that search engines take into account when tracking reciprocal linking.

2.  Our link must be present on your website BEFORE you send your request for link exchanging with us (expect us to reply in 24-36 hours.)  Here is the text to use:

Hortonstores: Gifts, Collectibles, & Home Decor - Shop for unique gifts, collectibles & home decor from Jim Shore, Cloudworks, Fenton Art Glass & more!

3.  Your link back to our site must not be located on a subdomain (preferably on a page that is embedded into your main site so that the page looks like something more than just a list of links on a totally different, plain/blank white webpage filled with ads that no one will be interested in reading.)

4.  Potential link partner link pages should not contain more than 50 links per page unless they have some sort of page navigation tool (such as our alphabet links that let you surf easily through our list) otherwise it will be very unlikely anyone will see our link, let alone click it.  In return we do the same for you.

5.  If our link or banner doesn't appear on your homepage, then an easy to find link, clearly labeled (such as "links" or "partners" not "resources" "directory" or some other misleading term) to your links page should be.  If shoppers can't find your links page when they want to find other relevant links, they won't find our site thus defeating the purpose of us sharing links.

6.  Any partner using "nofollow" robot or link commands to stop search engines from seeing our link on your page will be removed immediately.  This is an unethical linking practice.

Thanks for your time and interest!



Becoming "Our Friend" - A Link On All Our Pages

 Becoming our friend can happen one of two ways if you are a family friendly website, they are as follows:

#1.  Your google page rank is 3 or higher on your front page (learn your page rank by adding the google toolbar to your browser: Firefox or IE) and you are willing to keep a link on your front page to us for as long as we keep a link to you on ours; understanding that if you lose your pagerank for any reason this may be a reason for us to remove our link to you.   You may use any of the following banners to link to us or request one of a certain height or width to fit your needs:

Hortonstores.com gifts collectibles home decor   Hortonstores gifts collectibles home decor

#2.  You can offer to pay for a website ad on our website by contacting sales@hortonstores.com  for details on pricing plans.
