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:
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:

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