We get asked often enough if we'll add a link to existing content. Here's an answer.

From time to time, we get asked if “will you add a link to my blog” into an existing article, so we added this FAQ on the subject.

In most cases, the answer is “no.” While we don’t want to sound mean, about 90% of such requests offer a link that really has nothing to do with the article at hand or in which the page the link goes to is pretty content-free.

For instance, we received a request to link to a page that had nothing more than an address for a popular tourist location and a photo of it!

Before you ask us to add a link into our page, please consider whether your link is applicable to the topic of the page, and whether it adds any value to readers of that page.

Also consider this: will you link back to us?

One place where we more often will consider adding links is to our PNWWiki pages in which we have a “related resources” section. If your link is to a page that is directly about the topic at hand, we’ll be more likely to consider placing it there than in an existing main post.

We generally do not consider paid link placements and if we ever did, we’d disclose it, and add rel=”sponsored to it in keeping with best SEO practices.

If you want to get a link on our site, perhaps you could consider adding a guest post on one of the topics we like to cover.

Thanks for your understanding!
