Link Exchange Guidelines

And Link Submission Form

Link exchange is an excellent way for webmasters to provide resources beyond those that they can create at their own web site. I like to exchange links because I want the How To Change Careers website to offer you a really comprehensive range of resources to help you make your career change happen.

I regularly research other related resources and share any valuable information I uncover with my visitors. For me, it's part of what this website - and the internet at its best - is all about. Being ready to work in partnership, sharing learning, expanding each others’ knowledge and networking.

If you own a website that provides valuable information to your visitors on a topic that fits into one of the categories I have created, I invite you to complete the form below request to exchange links.

I will review all sites submitted and assess the added value that your content provides. This is my main consideration when considering listing your site.

If you would like to be considered for a link exchange, please read the information I have provided below.

Alternatively, you can register with the Value Exchange Program, which I explain below the submission form.

This creates a link that looks like this:

This is a content rich site with tips and advice about writing resumes and cover letters; includes many sample resumes and downloadable resume and cover letter templates.

How to apply for listing

• Create a link to How To Change Careers on your website.
• Return to this page and complete the form below.
• Select the category you wish to be listed under. If there is not suitable category, add your suggestion at the end of the form and I will consider it for inclusion.
• The name of your web site is presented on its own line in bold.
• Brief descriptions are more likely to be read. I suggest limiting your description to 30 words and a maximum of 40 is permitted. I will edit text over this length.
• You may add one embedded link within your description. You may either repeat the name of your site in the description and link it to the URL or you may choose words in your description to link to your URL.

If you have a new web site, please wait until you have something of value that you think visitors to this web site will appreciate related to one of the following categories.

Listing Categories
Here are the categories I am currently using for link exchange. As time goes on and valuable links are exchanged, I will select the best of the links accepted and place them in relevant places elsewhere on the How To Change Careers website.

The Value Exchange Program allows you to enter information about your web site. You'll need a good description of your site and up to 20 keywords. After you're listed, the software searches for related sites and provides you with the information you need to contact other webmasters who own sites relevant to your topic, based on the keywords you supply.

This hassle-free link-exchange system takes the tedium out of scouring the Internet looking for appropriate web sites.

You still must correspond with the web owners (which can be a lot of fun) and make arrangements that works for you both in your link exchange arrangement.

For the reputation of your own site, you want to be particular about the web sites you exchange links with. Just like the Internet as a whole, this program has a wide range of sites.

I recommend that you exchange with complementary sites that will add value to your own website. The growing database of participating sites means that you'll have access to a greater number of high-quality and highly targeted matches.

Remember, the Value Exchange Program is free.
