NYM_fan - LinkTopics requires a visible, surfable link to their pages from your index page or at most one level below it. I drop all of my LinkTopics pages into a subdir one level off the root, this is acceptable and makes updating a snap.

The link itself may be a fairly highly structured text link (so their automated spider can check on you and to avoid same color text on background issues) or any of about a dozen graphics, most are quite handsome and well thought out (different background colors, etc.) Sizes range from 88 X 42 pixels to 134 X 47 pixels. I've had no difficulty incorporating them into a site.

You can customize the presentation of the directory to some degree by revising the included style sheets.

Also, the directory (the links and associated pages) itself is nicely presented and I welcome this eye appealing additional content to my site.

Check out the sites in my profile for examples.

I'm not familiar with Link-o-Matic and can offer no comments. I feel the programs I currently use give me about as much benefit as can be had from link exchange programs and have focused my energies elsewhere as a result.
