Need links to your photo website?

Hi guys.
I'm in the starting phase of creating a new photographic website called apStockPhoto. I will soon start working on a photo directory and need as much content in there as possible and this is where I need your help. Please visit the site (use the link above) and go to directories. Use the "Add URL" link provided and send me all your personal websites and other useful links for me to use in the directory. I have only added a few categories yet so feel free to suggest more useful categories as well.

Remember that the directories will be strictly for photographic content, not paintings, drawings etc. Doesn't have to be photo website, could be for photo magazines, pages with relevant articles, laws and so on. Everything that might come handy for a person interested in photography.

I bought the domain this saturday so I haven't had much time working on it yet (I have a full-time job occupying about 11 hrs of day as well) but just send me all you got and I will get to it when I have the time.

Hope you all want to help me build a great photo directory!!

Looks interesting. However, I think you might encounter a copyright problem with the site's name. The Associated Press is also known as AP, and they might not take too kindly to the usage of their name with a photography site.

Hi Karimala! You got a point, but I hope you are not right about this...I've already put a lot of effort into this project and what I don't need is a dispute over the choice of name. I'm simply referring to my other site ArnestadPhotography.com, hence A for Arnestad and P for Photography, apstockphoto.....

You got me worried here now, but thanks for telling.

Thanks...I sent mine.

I've just revamped my own site (not quite happy with it yet and still have some changes to do, and I've yet to replace the links page, but I'll add your sites to my links page).

Thanks Gracey, really appreciate you adding my links as well, please inlude www.arnestadphotography.com as well if you have the time and space on your links page.

Best regards,
Thomas

This kind of mutual linking is very important for the Page Ranking. If we all put up a link to FeaturePics too then, FeaturePics will benefit from the multiplication effect. That's how the Web works. I'll add any site here as soon as I'm not "under construction" any more.

That's exactly why I'm creating this directory!

Haven't everybody already put up a link for featurepics? If you haven't done so yet, shame on you

ops:

It's really important for website rankings and we need to help out our agencies and each other much as we can, that way we also help each other gain more sales and benefit from this already hard to survive in business.

So, I've seen this discussed before - and I want to be sure I understand exactly how this works. I have a website. If I put a link to that website on this post, it will add to the cross traffic and increase the visibility of both this forum and my website?

Is it better to put a link to any and all websites I am affiliated photographically with on all posts on any forum?

Then, I go to my website, and I put links to as many other sites as I possibly can? Or do I put links to my other sites only?

Do I get links to my website put up somewhere else other than posts in forums, etc? Who does that?

The basic theory, I understand - just don't know what is entailed in putting it into action.
