New Link Exchange

In regards of Andy Levin’s initiative to create a link exchange between LS photographers to promote their websites and allow them to rank better in the search engines, I think I might have a solution to all of this.

I made up a database and a form online, so everyone can add their name and their website address. That information is then added to a database and everyone can go to the link page and save the page itself with all the links. You should rename the file to from a php to a HTML file.

My English is not the best, so if anyone can verify the text on the link page at the URL: http://www.pixdesk.ca/ls_links/links.php that would be great and I’ll make any changes to the ‘template’.

The great thing is this page populates itself as soon as people are adding them self to the database. I do hope that people do not abuse it and don’t double send their sites as that will penalize them in the search engines.

I also added a few Meta Data fields into the HTML file which search engines like. It will help with the ranking for sure.

You can add yourself to the database at the URL: http://www.pixdesk.ca/ls_links/
Make sure you spell everything right as you can not edit the content!

Hope it will solve our problems with having someone to sit and manually enter each person

We have 40 photographers listed in the directory now with links to their websites. If you want to join, just go to http://www.pixdesk.ca/ls_links/index.html and add yourself to the list.

This is a link exchange so I ask you to copy all the links at URL: http://www.pixdesk.ca/ls_links/links.php (i.e. just save the links.php page as links.html) and add it to your website. That way we can generate better search engine ranks.
