well having a link to us link all the way at the bottom of the forum is kind of like saying "hey im hiding this from you but i want you to use it alot!". putting it down there is working against its purpose. I personally always create a link to us block on my site's index page and provide them with banner html code or just plain text html code for linking. It makes it more obvious and i think more people will be willing to then

A usefull tip, thanks.

Very nice and usefull. thanks. Using ipagerank now.

Try using Spocka.com, they have a great link exchnage platform.

i have a quick question. lets say i use the link to this site like the one on this site. how would that benafit my site?
