- 4. How can I stop a website from linking to me?
-
- There is no way that you can prevent another website from linking to your website. This is a general fact of the internet, and does not have anything to do with LinkPartners.com or LinksManager.com.
If you find a site that is listing your website, you can simply email that webmaster asking for your link to be removed.

- 5. Do I need to be a LinksManager.com account owner to search for link swap partners with on LinkPartners.com?
-
- No - You do not need to be a LinksManager.com customer to start searching for link swap partners. However, being a LinksManager.com customer gives you a number of advantages when using the LinkPartners.com link swap database.
Here are just a few of the extra features that LinksManager.com account owners get when using the LinkPartners.com link swap database:
- Access LinkPartners.com directly from your LinksManager account to search for and contact potential link swap partners.
- Immediate link swap requests with other LinksManager.com customers. This puts your link swap partner's link immediately in your Active Links list, and places your link in your link swap partner's Pending Links list. Note that your link must still be manually approved by your link swap partner. This feature saves a large amount of time in the link swap process, as there are no forms to fill out and no emails to send.
- Preferred search results on LinkPartners.com - When a webmaster uses the search engine on LinkPartners.com, LinksManager-powered sites always have higher ranking and more prominence.

- 6. I am NOT a LinksManager.com customer. How do I find swap partners and request reciprocal links using LinkPartners.com?
-
- From our search page, you can either search for link swap partners, or browse websites using the alphabetical categories listed. When you see the results of your search, you can click on the website's name or screenshot to navigate to their website and links pages in a new browser window.
Then, you must determine how that website's webmaster wants to swap links with you. He/she may have a Add Link form to fill out, or perhaps they only provide an email address to contact them at.
If you do not have a LinksManager account, it is a manual process and you will have to locate the add link form and fill it out, or contact the webmaster via his or her email address or contact form on their website.

- 7. I AM a LinksManager.com customer. How do I find link swap partners and request reciprocal links using LinkPartners.com?
-
- First, do not attempt to add a new listing for your site in LinkPartners.com. You should optin to be listed in LinkPartners.com via your LinksManager control panel (set LinkPartners preferences).
If you do not see it listed, try searching your domain in the search box. If you still cannot find your listing, it is possible it has been cloaked because your account is not fully setup yet. Contact the LinksManager Helpdesk from your account for assistance.
Next, check to make sure your listing in LinkPartners.com is how you want it to appear on other sites. You can check your LinkPartners.com directly from your LinksManager account by click on 'LinkPartner Preferences' in the left navigation of your account. Then click on the hyperlink that points to your listing in LinkPartners.com Note: The information listed for your site on LinkPartners.com is used for link swaps intiated by other webmasters.
You should also check your account settings in your LinksManager control panel. Login to your LinksManager account and click CHANGE ACCOUNT INFORMATION and make sure your title and description appear as you would like them to appear. Note: The information listed for your site in your LinksManager account is used when YOU initiate a link swap with other webmasters.
Once you are happy with how your title and description details appear, you can start requesting link swaps from within your LinksManager account by clicking on 'Search For LinkPartners' and following the instructions.
Keep in mind other webmasters are not required to link with you. LinksManager is EDITOR BASED and the system is designed this way so all link swaps are thoughtful and approved by a human. We suggest you give webmasters at least 30 days to link back to your site before you delete non-reciprocating links from your LinksManager account.

- 8. Will I receive email from other webmasters or LinkPartners.com?

- You will receive email from LinkPartners.com letting you know when another site wants to swap links with you. You may also receive occasional informational emails letting you know about service changes or upgrades. We do not share your email address with anyone.

- 9. Do I have to swap links with every site that requests a link swap from me?
-
- No - If you do not like the other site asking for a link swap, you can simply delete the email without a reply. Or, you can reply to the email letting the webmaster know that you do not want to swap links with their website.
We suggest you swap links only with sites related to your own for maximum benefit.

- 10. I received a "Your Link Has Been Deleted" email and I am linking to the other site. Why?
-
- It is possible an account owner using LinksManager will delete your link and send you the "Link Deleted Email" prematurely.
LinksManager is a tool and we make the tool as simple and easy to use, but like any tool, it can be misused sometimes by new LinksManager account owners who mean well but do not always allow enough time for other webmasters to reciprocate a link. And if you post your link just after LinksManager has reported to the account owner that your link was not reciprocating on last check, sometimes the account owner will jump the gun on sending the Link Deleted Email.
That mailer can be replied to. So if you get one, reply politely and explain where your link to their site is. And you can also visit that webmaster's site and add your link again so he or she can approve it.
