If you ask us to exchange links with your site, you must post a link to Smoky Mountain Woodworks on your web site then use the [Add Link] function here or in the Resources pages to create a link to your site.  Our Link Machine will notify me of your submission and I will review your site promptly with the criteria below in mind.  If acceptable, your reciprocal link will be activated immediately and an e-mail will be sent to let you know.  If unacceptable I will let you know of that so you may remove the link to my site from yours.

Select the appropriate category; links submitted to the wrong category will be rejected.

Relevance is key.  The major search engines look at whether the sites you exchange links with are relevant to yours.  For a furniture maker's site, exchanging links with other furniture and woodworking sites, lumber suppliers, and woodworking magazines shows a high degree of relevance, thus getting a nod of approval from search engines.  A furniture site that exchanges links with used car sales sites, cabin rentals, casinos and theme parks will not.  See Ken Webster's article for details.

Your site's home page MUST have a Google PR of at least 3 to be considered.

We do NOT engage in triangular link exchanges; the page you want us to link to must also link to us.

If you choose to bypass our Link Machine and e-mail us directly with a link exchange request, your message will get flagged as "To Do" and I'll get around to it... eventually.  Building furniture is my primary focus, maintaining our product and policy pages comes second, maintaining the links section is a spare time activity.  Make it easy for me and it will get done much faster.
