Welcome to the exciting world of the NamePros Link Exchange Requests forum. Throughout the next thirty minutes, this educational film will introduce you to the exciting world of link exchanges within the NamePros community. I'll be your host and guide Etab! You may know me from such films as "What's A Contest?" and "When Scammers Attack, Volume 2".

Don't worry, we'll try to keep this as pain-free as possible.

Basically, the Link Exchange Requests Forum is a self-explanatory concept. This forum is for you if you are:

• the owner of a website wishing to have links on other websites
• a website owner who wants links to other sites on his/her website
• wishing to engage in a trade with another member in which both website owners exchange each others' links
• over 48" tall and not experiencing neck or back problems (the Link Exchange Requests forum is exciting, however, we can't guarantee the physical thrill a roller coaster provides)

If you own a website, and you are looking to expand your reach by having links on other websites, create a thread with the following information:

• Name and URL of Website
• Brief Description
• Target Audience
• Traffic Details
• Brief Description of site wishing to exchange link with
• Other comments

If you're the owner of a website or directory looking for website owners to exchange or submit links, create a thread with the following information:

• Name and URL of Website
• Brief Description
• Target Audience
• Traffic Details
• Brief Description of sites wishing to post links of/exchange link with
• Other comments

After you create your post with the necessary information, other NamePros members will be able to view your requests and respond accordingly.

Be specific in your thread title. Not only does it help page organization, but it allows potential "linkers" to see your thread more easily and search out exactly what both of you are looking for.

Example post:

And as always, if you have any questions, comments, concerns, gripes, groans, moans, or complaints, do not hesitate to send a private message to me (Etab). (I'm always open to suggestions, too.)
