  <body>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&#8217;ll make any changes to the &#8216;template&#8217;.

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&#8217;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
