Hey guys, every now and then I get a PM asking if someone can add a link to TF from their website. The answer is a most definate yes.

So, if you post updates on TF about your website, Id appreciate it if you could add a link to TF in return. There's nothing forcing you to do so - its completly up to you.

The more sites we have linking to TF, the higher in google we will rank, therefore losing less visitors to other, poorer quality ((Y)), competitors hahaha.

Yeah anyway, the more people we get off google, will mean more people finding your site on TF then visiting it - win win situation methinks.

Anyway, enough rubbish, heres the code for the link

<a href="http://www.trials-forum.co.uk" target="_blank" title="Link to the UK's biggest Bike Trials Forum'>Trials-Forum.co.uk</a>

Feel free to play around with the code, thats just for people who dont know HTML that well.

If you do link to TF can you let me know, just cos im interested!

If anyone wants to design a banner for TF or a button image, post it in this thread and ill add it to this post :huh:

Cheers

Tom

Here's a few I made, hopefully one for every sites' colour scheme, they're pretty simple, but only because I didn't really spend very long on them:

and (bit different/random style)

Don't know what to do about the watermark, and it's PNG because then I get transparency, good quality and small file sizes, these are about 12k because they're also interlaced.

I assume you don't want remote linking? (just incase you want to say...)

Cheers jakus, the look cool.

Can you email them to me? tomATtrials-forum.co.uk.

Ill upload them straight to the server, I dont mind them being linked remotely and they'll stay there for as long as TF exists :-

Cheers again.

thanks everyone else too, much appreciated :(

I could put one on my bands website if you like, I'd make a seperate sort of link for you as it's not really related to any of the other material on the website. We get a fair bit of traffic so can't be a bad thing, even if it isn't really a trials related site. Is the code you first supplied still useable? If so I will get my brother to do his thing and put it up on the links page (Y).

I have plugged the site a fair bit on the forum so it's only fair really. The site is in my signiture (click equilibiria). Cheers for the forum Tom.

Yeah well, now ive got banner advertising going, i cant really put a link up.

I had'nt forgotten, its just not feesable now (Y)

OK, so just put a new link, actually, replaced the shitty free forum page I had, that was always spammed with porn links, to the real thing, on the front page. (Y)

But, hey, side question, how do you get banners? Do you just contact the manufacturers and tell them how great are your site etc...? :">

I'd like to have my site sponsored, just to pay for the hosting. :)

They came to me.

I may put a forum link in the navigation bar, but as "Forum". So google will find it harder to index it.

Will go up soon though, as the webhosting link is going so will have more room.

Ello, just found a load of 'new' replies, sorry its taken so long.. Kinda confused though! (although to be fair ive been confused all day due to the silly drinking going on last night)

I see no banners on there though?

Cheers for changing the link to TF, much appreciated :D

I dont think we approached anyone.. started as google adverts and just grew from there. Check it out, they used to pay well for us but its gone downhill recently to the point where theyre just there to use up any 'spare' banner views. I think that just might be for us though, were getting maybe 1 or 2 clicks for every 10,000 times we show a google advert (roughly) - but they're still worth it for alot of other sites - http://www.google.com/adsense

I've linked you from our site at: Turkeyfoot.org.uk.

It's not got any trials stuff (yet), but it is a bike site (ok, mostly bikes, there will be some open canoe action sneaking in there soon).

I doubt it gets much traffic though' as it's only been up for a little while and it's mostly just for us to mess about with, not really to do anything with as such (plus it's a handy portfolio for me :S )...

I'd say that the search engine bot's should read the site in full (and index you) as there is no 'no-index' type meta tagging for the bots, nor a robots.txt to control them - the menu structure is straight-forward html list-items - managed by pure CSS, not JavaScript (although to help IE, bless it - there is a teeny tiny bit of JavaScript), so they'll follow that ok.

Hmm although that said, it is framed as it uses site forwarding (we are too cheap to pay for a host yet) ...

Err, anyway enough jabbering - you are linked from there (with apologies for reanimating an old post).
