LinkPartners.com, a sister site and service of LinksManager.com, is a free categorized directory of quality websites that trade reciprocal links with other sites.

Only quality sites with good linking strategy that actively exchange links are included in the LinkPartners directory. Each website listed is reviewed by a human editor.

Swap permissions allow you to control/filter the types of websites that can automatically request a link swap from you using their LinkPartners controls.

To set your link swap preferences, click on LinkPartners Swap Permission found under the LinkPartners controls set in the left navigation menu.

Please note that the swap permissions controls only affect requests coming from sites powered by LinksManager. Any webmaster can visit your site, click your contact form or email address, and request a link swap from you via email.

Using the provided search controls, search for link partners by keyword(s) of by category. LinksManager will then return a list of websites that would potentially swap links with you from the LinkPartners database. Click on “Request Swap” to left of the link that you would like to swap links with. Categorize THEIR link into one of the categories on YOUR website and (if available) suggest a category for YOUR link to be placed in on THEIR website. Finally, click on “Add Link”

LinksManager will automatically add THEIR link to YOUR link pages and will then add YOUR link to THEIR Pending link list to await approval. Additionally, an email is sent out in your behalf informing the webmaster that you have added his or her link to your links pages and requesting that your link be approved and added to his website. Once the webmaster approves your link, the swap is complete.

Keep in mind that LinksManager is editor based and not all webmasters will want to link to your site. If you keep your linking relevant to what is most of interest to your end user, you will find that improves your success in getting quality, relevant links.

No. You can swap links with ANY website on the Internet. A site does not have to be listed in LinkPartners.

The LinkPartners directory is simply a source for you to easily find and contact potential link swap partners who actively wish to swap links.

To learn more about how to find links, visit http://linksmanager.com/knowledgebase/17.html#7.

Yes. We have integrated the ability to search for and contact potential link swap partners directly from within your LinksManager account.

All links that display as a result of a keyword or category search are links that ARE NOT currently included in your account or on your links pages. Links that already exist in your account, or links that you have chosen to hide, are automatically removed from your search results.

Click LinkPartners Preferences from your control menu and then locate the control at the top of the page and change it to YES INCLUDE.

Please do not request to be listed in LinkPartners.com until your LinksManager is fully setup:

- Please make sure your account is fully setup with the links pages being served under your domain (using LinksManager auto FTP or a CNAME such as links.yourdomain.com).

- Please also make sure cosmetics are properly configured for your account.

To learn more about how to setup your account, visit the Setup Guide which explains everything step by step including directions how to ask for help.

The Hide Link button allows you to remove specific links from current and all future search results. Links that are hidden can be viewed once again by clicking on the View Previously Hidden Links button on the Search for LinkPartners control page.

Webmasters whose link you have added through LinkPartners.com are initially sent one (1) email on your behalf to request the links swap. Only one email is sent.

Links added to your account from LinkPartners.com have hidden email addresses until they agree to reciprocate. When you initially added them to your account, they were sent notifications emails by our system, on your behalf. Only one email is sent to LinkPartners webmasters and they are told that no reminder emails will be sent.

LinkPartners.com is now sending out a Master Reminder Mailer/Newsletter every 10 days to all webmasters listed in LinkPartners.com who have pending link swap requests. This mailer is sent to webmasters who are not reciprocating or who have not responded to requests to swap links from LinksManager users like you. The mailer reminds webmasters to reciprocate link swaps intiated by you and other LinksManager customers. This master mailer allows us to control contact so that abuse does not occur and all parties are satisfied.

If you don't see your listing on Linkpartners.com, make sure you have opted in to be listed. This control is in your LinksManager control panel under LinkPartners Preferences.

You can modify your listing in LinkPartners.com via the LinksManager control panel. Under MANAGE ACCOUNT, click CHANGE ACCOUNT INFORMATION. When doing so, make sure to click the bottom checkbox which will send your updated information over to LinkPartners.

Note that all listings in LinkPartners.com are reviewed by a human so please allow some time for the listing to be approved.

Not at this time. The mailers are "hard coded" into the system. We currently do not allow the mailer to be modified in order to protect against abuse. The mailers are intended to provide the first communication between webmasters. The mailers use your reply to address, so if replied to, mail comes directly to you, not back to Linkpartners.

There are two mailers: The first mailer below is sent to sites that are powered by LinksManager. The second mailer is sent to sites that are not powered by LinksManager. The text of the mailers is below.

NOTE: The variables in red below are replaced with actual data from your account and the respective data provided by the webmaster when he added his listing.
