To maintain the efficiency of the service, LinkPro.org utilizes a give-and-take strategy by which users give links in return for the ones they receive. The result is an active and lively community of webmasters looking to exchange quality links. LinkPro.org updates its database regularly, thereby only providing its users with relevant, up-to-date links. Why should I exchange links with other sites? Link exchange is a proven method of increasing traffic and search engine rankings for your website. Used by professional SEO companies for many years, links are regarded as the most effective method to manipulate web traffic and send it your way. Since search engines use a technique known as Spidering to follow the links placed on a site to their original website and then index that site, the benefit of having links to your website on other sites is immeasurable. It is one of the easiest and most effective ways to "pop up" on the search engine radars. Moreover, with more quality links between your website and other sites of similar content search engines are likely to peg your site as informative, relevant and a good source of information, thus boosting your ranking. With its tailored linking (links are provided according to compatibility with the content of your site) and a quality database, LinkPro.org can be the extra push your site needs to score higher on search engine placement. Does my site require any specific scripts to use LinkPro.org? At this time, LinkPro.org can only accept links to sites that are PHP or ASP operated. How can I know if my site supports PHP or ASP? There are several ways to check whether your site is PHP or ASP enabled: 1. In most cases once you enter the LinkPro.org code into your website and upload to your server, you will see a LinkPro image logo on the page on which you placed the LinkPro code. This may be an indication that PHP and/or ASP is active on your site. 2. At times you will see the LinkPro PHP logo, but your site will still not be able to access PHP and/or ASP. This could be because your site runs on a .html script that is not PHP and/or ASP enabled. All you have to do then is simply enable .html to run on your PHP script. How do I enable PHP to run on my HTML scripted site? Assuming that your server host does support PHP but you cannot access it because your site name ends with .html rather than .php, there is a simple way to fix this allowing your HTML page to execute PHP. To allow your HTML pages to execute PHP, simply modify your .htaccess file by adding the line AddType application/x-httpd-php .html to a page name that ends with .html, or the line AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm if your page name ends with .htm Note that the location of your .htaccess file varies depending on your FTP program and may be hard to find. If you are having trouble locating your .htaccess file, it is best to ask your hosting service for help. How do I know that LinkPro.org's database is relevant and up to date? LinkPro.org is updated regularly so that all the links available on our database are recent and relevant. How can I get LinkPro.org to approve my site?

However, we do not accept links from pornographic sites, sites that display nudity, use inappropriate language, are offensive to a specific person or community, lack a reasonable amount of content and/or are built purely for advertising purposes. How can I get LinkPro.org to approve my links?

We ask that your linktext be relevant and representative of the website to which it belongs and that it is comprehensible so that search engines are able to read it and we are able to verify it. We ask that you refrain from using odd characters such as signs or foreign languages that may be construed as an irregularity in your linktext.

Incoming links from different websites will be directed to the URL you registered as your website. If, for one reason or another, you want to provide us with an alternative URL during your use of the LinkPro.org service, you can do so provided that this new link in verified. Where on my site should I place the out-bound links? Out-bound links should be placed o the site's index page. How do I add out-bound links to my website?

Why was my site/s removed from LinkPro.org? Upon sign up to LinkPro.org users receive a code to enter into their PHP or ASP scripted website and upload to their server. If for any reason our scripts cannot locate the code on your website, the site will be removed from the database. If you find that you have been removed from the service, try re-entering the code and uploading to the server again. This should get you reinstalled into the LinkPro.org service. Is LinkPro.org really free? Yes. LinkPro.org is free for all incoming requests, and free for up to five outgoing requests. Do I have to add LinkPro.org to my website? Technically speaking, no.
