Wading through "Terms and Conditions"

[Nani]

I've been learning about marketing online and getting other websites to link to mine. There are a lot of "free offers" to link, but when I read the terms and conditions, often I'm uneasy that "free" is a relative term...! This question may be too general for anybody to answer--but are there any guidelines or information that would help me know what are reasonable "terms and conditions"?

I hope this helps-- I have been learning a lot about linking and there are bad linking also-- you have to watch who you are linking to--I was told at least 2-back--
When someone want to link to me- I not only check out there site--but there links also-- I did not do this in the begining - so I Have been cleaning out--It is also very time consuming.

I also do this on myspace-- because my site is child oriented- I can not have some other child oriented sites -- that have nasty things posted on them or there links are very child un friendly--
so much time used just for that-- it is a shame.

Nani,

One thing I've been taught is to find those sites I want to link to and do it. Then send the owner a note and let them know I've linked to them. Sometimes they'll link back, sometimes they won't.

I think so-- and everyone else says yes-- the end result is what you are after. And seo and linking never ends- that is the forever part
