I explained the link rot issue, etc. and frightened them into a link campaign. We're struggling to maintain our ranks against the competition.
I set up a links directory and linked to it from the bottom of our "no traffic" Partners page with a discrete invitation to become a Link Partner, and below that a link to current link partners.
When they saw what I'd done they started freaking. They wanted the link to the links page to be even more discrete, like tiny text buried at the bottom of one of our knowledge base pages!
I think they're main concern is that they didn't want to link to a cheesy looking "Free stuff" page. But heck, this page has decent PR and they're competition is already there.
My question to you:
Am I wrong to do recips to cheesy "free thingy" pages?
Should I suggest purchasing advertising in Niche Industry Specific online magazines, thus paying for PR?
What's the best way to bury a links page?
