As we are home to various astrologers and astrological organisations, our astrology business is spread among 3 separate, well-established and popular websites. Your link can be to any one site... perhaps directed to a preferred astrologer or product or to all 3 major sites.
We manage the links for the following 3 sites:
The Astrology Shop On-Line including the range of analyses by Liz Greene, as well as items from the London Astrology Shop, Covent Garden: calendars, videos, books. www.astrology.co.uk
Astro*Carto*Graphy and A*C*G founder, Jim Lewis. www.astrocartography.co.uk
If you would like us to link to you from any or all of our 3 major sites, we require a reciprocal link from you for each site.
We will try to match the quality of your link (or links) to us. This will depend on the content of your site and its relevance to our site themes and how your link page back to us is ranked by Google. Google PageRank [GPR, sometimes confusingly called PR] is displayed on the toolbar of your browser if you’ve installed the Google toolbar. Also, priority will be given to a noticeable and accessible link (e.g. front page or one click away from the front page) and a prominent link format (image, text, font size, position on page etc) from you.
For a reciprocal link.
No go areas! We won't link if a site:
contains offensive or negative content.
loads up irritating pop-up advertising windows on entry or exit or is connected with spam.
is mainly an affiliate site i.e. just refers visitors onto other suppliers for a commission and lacks interesting content. [Association with these sites will reduce our GPR.]
is obviously a free site like geocities or freeserve unless you are a charity or highly relevant.
links back to us from a page that is not accessible from the front page or requires more than 2 clicks to reach it. [What is the point of a link that is hidden?]. If your home page has a Google Page Rank of 2 or less or your link page is ranked 0, your link to us must be on a page reachable by a single click from the home page.
links back to us outside the first 25 links. [If you have an excessive number of links, Google ignores the ones lower on the page.] If your link page is overcrowded, why not split into equally accessible category pages?
where the reciprocal link comes from another site instead of the home site where our link is pointing. [Are we not good enough for your site? All of us will work to promote your site but who is going to promote our links back?] Also, a 3 way link is an obvious spam technique to Google.
Relevance: We are looking for sites that are relevant to astrology, calendars, psychology, compatibility in some way. If you not closely connected to these themes, your link page must rank 2 or higher as our link pages are 3 or higher. We don't link to sites selling gambling, SEO, hotel bookings, mobile phones, general software, self-certification or controversial health claims.
Reciprocal: To set up a link (or links) to us, check our suggested link formats or create your own link. An original link in the context of a page is more interesting than a long list of similar sites. Your link should be on a static page i.e. not a cgi or php or a framed page unless they have a GPR.
Apply: When the link(s) to us are set up, submit your details through our link application form.
