LINK EXCHANGE REQUEST

Welcome Webmasters, Designers and Owners

Please Note: We do not participate in "triangular" or 3-way linking. Please do not waste your time or ours by sending these type of requests. They will be deleted and ignored!

Link exchanging provides many benefits including increase traffic to your site, an increase with your popularity rating and will improve your search engine ranking.

Adding your web site to internet directories can also bring steady traffic. To add your link, or submit your web site to us, simply follow our easy submission guidelines then provide the information requested below.

If you own or run a site that is related to High Caliber Knives we would be happy to trade links with you, provided your site meets a few simple requirements.

• Your site MUST be related in some way. If you do not see a category that your site fits into, feel free to suggest a new category but be convincing. If it's not truly related your request will be rejected.
• Your site must provide a clear link (footer links are ok) to your link or resource area.
• Your link directory must be structured. Our philosophy in trading links is to drive human visitors between our sites. The search engines want tightly themed categorized directories and good content. Give them these and you will get the benefits in SERP results you are looking for.
• We prefer only one page per category but if you have multiple pages in a category we require that our listing be on the first page of the category and stay on the first page.
• Your site must be family friendly. In other words it must not promote hate, violence against others, racism, intimate sex or anything else that is not generally deemed advisable or acceptable for audiences of all ages.
• Your site must be user friendly. This means good clear navigation, easy ordering if commercial oriented, does not load too slow and does not contain excessive pop-ups (more than 1 per page or 3 per site, but we prefer none).
• A link to High Caliber Knives must appear on your site before you send your request. Sorry but we have too much to do to try and remember to check tomorrow or next week if the link is live.
• Google Page Ranking (PR): It doesn't really matter. Everyone starts somewhere. Unless your site has been banned and would jeopardize our standing with the search engines we are more concerned with the content, navigation and functionality of your site and the structure of your directory.

If your site meets all of the above requirements follow the simple steps below and your link will be listed within 72 hours of our receiving your request. (Unless we happen to be on vacation or a 3 day road trip). As a link partner, you will receive special treatment with your link located in the top section of the page. Along with a Link Partner image that will be placed next to your link letting our visitors know you are a Link Partner.

Step 1:

• Review our Link Directory Favorite Links and determine the category you wish to be listed in. At the bottom of that page will be our preferred title and description for the theme of your site.
• You may suggest a new category by specifying the name of the category you wish and why you feel it's related.

Step 2:

• A link using the preferred title and description must appear on your site before requesting a link from us. Any request that does not have a reciprocal link listed will be deleted and ignored. (Sorry we have limited amounts of time too.) We prefer to use text links but will display a banner with your listing if you desire.
• If you desire to have a banner with your link listing, you must add our banner to your links page (see bottom of page for URL information)

Step 3:

To request the link, please supply the following information:

1. Your site Name
2. Your site URL
3. Your site description - This may be shortened if it exceeds a maximum of 250 characters.
   (NOTE: If this occurs you can request a change or re-write your description.)
4. The Category you desire to be listed in. (If you do not see one that fits your site please feel free to suggest one - it will be considered.)
5. The URL of where you have listed our site.
6. Your E-Mail address.

Failure to comply with these directions will result in one of two actions:

• If we consider if there is merit to your request - It will then be filed and may be added at our leisure. You then may receive an E-Mail to that effect.
• It may be rejected out of hand and no message will be sent to that effect.

Remember that you are the one requesting the link, so please comply with the above directions!!!
