LinkLove comes from providing value to the public, to that end:

In our efforts to create a valuable guide to websites, we want to give link love to good sites that have good AboutUs pages. At the same time, we want to withold it from "bad actors" such as parking lots, adult sites, etc. (This is why we decided to default to "NoFollow".)

If you want to nominate a website as good and deserving of "ProFollow", please:

  • Confirm that the website you would like to ProFollow is a "good actor" on the web
  • Edit and build a great page for the site here at AboutUs (we want to reward good content) that contains the following:
    • the company or organization's company name (we recommend replacing the "Title" and "Description" section headers with this like ==Company Name==)
    • a summary
    • several topics
    • a description of what the site is and does
    • contact information
