We welcome reciprocal links from relevant
conservative websites and blogs. In general, we prefer not to link
to sites which are largely abusive or superficial in nature, such as
rants and snide comments which contribute little to thoughtful dialogue
among conservatives about important issues.
Effective criticism can include biting sarcasm and wit, but should
exhibit a more positive social purpose than vain self-promotion of the
critic as a personal ego trip by ad hominem attacks on others.
The solution to tyranny isn't to promote a different
group of tyrants, but rather those who respect and demonstrably practice
individual responsibility. We seek reciprocal links which reflect
this focus on fundamental American principles and values from a positive
and thoughtful conservative perspective.. |

simple text links (as in blogrolls) are also welcome |

We can also set up custom landing pages for inbound
links, such as to focus content and links on the specific expected
interests of referred visitors, and to feature a reciprocal link back to
the site from which they came.
Contact us to discuss any questions about reciprocal link interests.
For example, a site which focuses on a particular state
or issue could link to a special page with content and links about that
state or issue, thus making it easier for the referred visitors to
quickly find what is most likely to be of interest to them. One
example of this is the Sarah Palin
page, which might be a good starting point for visitors who are coming
from other sites which share content about Sarah Palin. Similar
pages can highlight other candidates, issues, etc. to help the visitors
find what they are seeking. |

In general, we will feature reciprocal links on those
pages which seem most likely to be of interest for potential visitors
from a linked site. For example, a link to a website with content
related to a Tea Party protest in a particular city would generally be
featured on the relevant "Surge by State"
page as well as any related content pages (such as about July 4 protests
if it is a July 4th event). Similarly, a blog
which focuses on state issues would be featured on the relevant Surge by
State page, while a blog which focuses heavily on a particular topic
(such as health care issues) may also appear on pages related to that
topic, including news highlights, but not necessarily on every state
page.
Websites or blogs with content which are primarily
national in scope would generally appear on more pages, as already
illustrated by the many Tax Day Tea Party links. In summary, the
links are not limited to the main "Links" page. They are featured
on other relevant pages for visitor convenience.
The text links on the main "Links"
page can also be replaced by images as reciprocal links. This can
make it easier for them to stand out at a glance from many other sources
of information. |
|
Reciprocal "sponsor" relationships, such as event
advertising swaps, may also be considered. These would be featured
more prominently than ordinary reciprocal links. |
|
Targeted advertising is also an economical option.

Our targeted reach is limited, but
growing rapidly. This website was just launched on January 20,
2009. In the first 100 days, it already attracted 70,000+ visitors
and is on track to exceed 300,000 in the first year. That is not
huge yet, but it is highly targeted as a channel for American
conservatives to find actionable information and contacts. It is
difficult to predict how future visit patterns will develop as word of
this service spreads among conservatives. In particular, it may
attract more attention in 2010 as more Americans focus on the next major
national, state, and local election campaigns.
The related business websites (
www.gdi-solutions.com and
www.ShortListNews.com ) attract 500,000+ visitors per year in the
small niche of community economic development and corporate expansion
project planning as businesses invest in new business locations around
the USA and worldwide. That business provides independent
professional referrals to executives as they plan the growth of their
companies. |
