Since the last link exchange was lost in the great crash of 2006, here is the replacement thread for it.

You can also link to it via some crazy .php script thingy that Adam Squier can probably explain, as I have no clue how it works, haha.

The rules of the game:
You create an html page that has a link of some type from your splash page, or your main page of your site. That page should include all of the OSP links, and be kept reasonably up to date.

Provided everyone is doing this, you will also see that your page ranking should increase, and the keywords that you're wanting to be searched for will move your page up the google rankings as well.

I'm a member of both the DWC and OSP link exchanges, and can tell you this works. In January 2006, I was not even listed among the top 100 results of google for my search terms. Today, I'm listed on Page 1 of google and google.ca with my relative ranking being about #2 or #3 on those sites.

With over 2000 members here, and less than 100 actively participating, the rate that our sites move up is entirely up to us.

Here is the code that you can put into your page that you create, which includes everyone that was on the link exchange right up to the end.

>>>Stop Copying Here<<<

Thanks Chris!!! I had just posted up about this earlier!

I wanna get on the list this time. what do I do?

Adam, post that php script if you can, I want to copy it to my site again to make sure that it did not get messed up when I switched to a flash template

this is so far over my head! are you speaking english?

still in, my page is still up

Hey matt,

dude, I have you listed on my page, but the Squier's link page doesn't have you listed. weeeeeird.

To add yourself to the exchange, you just post up your info that you want listed like this....

<li><a href="http://www.pictureinfinity.com" title="Syracuse Wedding and Portrait Photographer<" target="_blank">Picture Infinity - Syracuse Wedding and Portrait Photographer</strong></a></li>

Then create an OSP links page on your site with all the other links in it, along with your own. Make sure that you have a link TO that OSP links page somewhere on the main page of your site, and you're good to go.


Ashley, no it's not english, it's HTML that I was speakin', haha. It's confusing to a degree, but you get used to it pretty fast. If you update your own website this all should be really easy to do.

Corey, I'm pretty sure that we're all still doing it, for those who were already participating. Glad to see that you still have your page up though.

Oddly, I was just thinking about this a few minutes ago. Noticing that no one's sent anything to the list e-mail address in a while. Then it dawned on me -- the thread's gone!

Here's how to get on the list: Send an e-mail to lists@squierphotography.com with your link.

Look at how the previous ones are formatted. There are keywords and sneaky search engine stuff within the links that won't show up in a browser. Here's mine:

<a href="http://www.squierphotography.com/" title="Dublin Columbus Ohio Baby, Child, Senior, and Wedding Photography" target="_blank">Dublin Columbus Ohio Baby, Child, Senior, and Wedding Photography - <strong>Squier Photography</strong></a>

The title should have your keywords in it, and so should the text of the link. Things that are nestled between the <strong> tags will be in bold (usually).

I do have a .php script that makes it so your page updates whenever my page is updated. I'll post that shortly, once I find it.

Now, remember to play by the rules. If you send me a link, you must put everyone else's links on a page on your site that can be followed from the home page. It doesn't have to link directly from the home page (though that would be nice). Also, tell me, in your e-mail, how to find the link. I'll go through them again to make sure people are playing by the rules.

I need to update my list too...
Candy

It's all part of my evil plan not to include some people. Muwaaahaaaa. Not really. Must've missed one of the posts. Sorry. I'll add it if you send me a message to links@squierphotography.com.



Or, or, orrrrr, send a message to links@squierphotography.com.


Yeah, the HTML can be confusing, so watch for the php script. I'll find it soon.

Adam,

I don't subscribe to your list update automatically though.
and I check here to see the new links that I need to add, which is why I was suggesting that people post them up here. Sending the email to you would be another way of doing it as well.

Or perhaps you'd like to send out a batch email to all the people on the list when a new link is added? That might be a better way of doing it for some, as I know that not all people are using the .php thing that you are offering.

What do you think would work best?

OK, here's the PHP script. You'll want to put this in the part of the page that you want the links to show up in (go away, grammar police). If the syntax is incorrect, PLEASE let me know, as I don't actually use this script on my site. I use a DHTML SSI instead, but I think they're done the same way.


<!-- OSP Links start here-->
<?php
<!--#include virtual="http://www.squierphotography.com/links/osplinks.inc" -->
?>
<!-- OSP Links end here-->

VERY IMPORTANT: This script will NOT give you a fully-formed HTML page. All it will give you is a list of links. So make sure you have a page that displays first. THEN copy this script into it. It's formatted as a bulleted list by default. If you don't like the bullets, you can use CSS to change it right before you paste in the script.

Oh, and make sure the extension of your page is .php and not .html or .htm or whatever.

Probably both ways. Post it here and send an e-mail. I was missing some posts and wasn't keeping them up-to-date because of that so I set up the e-mail account.

That way, this thread will get bumped every time someone adds themself. Which would be a good thing™.

I'd like to get in... i'm a smidge confused though... Adam, i went to your site and very easily found the list of links... i opened up the top ten or so links on the exchange and over half i couldn't find the link exchange anywhere... are people leaching off the list? can the linked list be hidden and that's okay with everyone? i looked at the HTML for a couple sites and i know they aren't linking to the list... maybe they just haven't gotten around to it?

i'm not trying to ruffle any feathers... i just don't really want to link to people that aren't returning the favor, you know? maybe people stopped using the list and it needs edited?

thanks
Sean

I was on the list, but I've updated my site for '07, and haven't reinstated the links page yet. I'll update here once I've done that.

This looks great, and I'd love to get on the list. I've put all above information onto my indexed links page already. Here's my html information for those who have asked to paste from this list. Can't figure out the php thing, so I'll be an html paster too.

<li><a href="http://www.hawthornephotography.com/" title="Bay Area Wedding Photographer – Noah Hawthorne" target="_blank"><strong>Noah Hawthorne Photography</strong> - Creative and artistic wedding photography for the San Francisco Bay Area and destination weddings</a></li>

Looks like a great start!

Alright call me stupid (there's a reason someone ELSE is doing my site ), but where do I put the HTML page with all the links on it? Should there be a visible 'Links' page? I'm confused!

make it something like www.thegreatdivorce.com/links.php so its a seperate page. Then have a link to that page from your main page. It can be a invisible link, or hide it in a letter etc.

Okay, please count me in! I added the php to my site and am ready to be linked up!

thank you guys!

OK, Sean. You've been added.

You've been added. I couldn't find the link to your links page on your site.

As far as doing a links "audit" to make sure everyone is playing correctly, here's my plan. After things settle down a little more here, I'll go through each site and try to find the links. If I'm unsuccessful, I'll send a message to whatever e-mail is on the site and ask for directions for how to get to the links page with everyone's links on it. I'm sure there are a lot of pages that are out of date.

Please send a message to links@squierphotography.com to let me know how to get to the links page on your site. If it's an all-flash site, you'll need to make sure to use an HTML link, which can be tricky if you update your site through a database or something.

If you think your page of links is out of date, mosey on over to http://www.squierphotography.com/links/, do a "view source" and copy the OSP links and paste into your page.

But really, as long as you have my links on your page, you're fine.

thank you again adam for your work on this! if you need any help let me/us know!

just for reference, i couldn't get your php coding to work but this line did the trick for me:

<?php include("http://www.squierphotography.com/links/osplinks.inc"); ?>

Thanks. I wasn't sure about the syntax. It seems I was off. I did say that I didn't know if it would work.

K Adam, just sent you an email.
Here's my listing!!

<li><a href="http://www.nightanddayphoto.ca/" title="Edmonton Destination Wedding Photographer" target="_blank"><strong>Night and Day Photography - Edmonton Destination Wedding Photographer</strong></a></li>

Great. I'll try to have it posted by the end of the weekend. I'm doing major surgery on the site and can't update anything until it's done.

Adam,

It would be really nice if you would change "Wrightsman Photography" to LifeSpring Photography.

Thanks!

It CANNOT be an invisible link guys. If it's invisible, then the good ol' google monster can't find it, and you're not participating properly.

It does have to be a visible link, and can be hidden in a letter, or something to that effect.

If you look at my page at http://www.cuphotography.ca you'll see that I have the DWC links in a dark grey coloured font down below my white keyline. if you click on the "links" button on my main entry page ONLY, you'll see that you go to my OSP links page. Clicking on that links button on every other page takes you to my regular links stuff.

I've added everyone who has posted on this thread up to my post here.

Hey! Can I be in your little link club? This is such a cool idea! I've just started reading about search engine optimization, and I've been wondering how to get a bunch of links out there. This does it! Thank you very much for doing this. I'll email you my stuff.

Leann and Brian,

Adam is in the middle of moving our website to a new host, so he will change/add you when he is done with the transfer, so nothing gets messed up.

Mine keeps telling me there is an error. I was on the previous link exchange and used your script and it worked fine. I'm not sure what I've done wrong.

Also - please go ahead and add me. www.bethanygilbert.com. My links are located on the bottom of each page - click on the :) after Bethany Gilbert Photography :).

Thanks,
b

Here's the script you need:


<?php include("http://www.squierphotography.com/links/osplinks.inc"); ?>

I got it wrong the first time around and couldn't edit the post.

Hey y'all. My previous attempt at writing HTML didn't give me the results I wanted. Could everyone add this to their lists instead? I would appreciate it. Sorry 'bout that.


<li><a href="http://www.brianmoorephotography.com" title="Augusta GA Wedding Photographer" target="_blank"><strong>Brian Moore Photography</strong> - Augusta GA Wedding Photographer</a></li>

<li><a href="http://www.visionyard.com/" title="Phoenix Wedding Photography" target="_blank"><strong>Visionyard Studios Photography</strong> - Phoenix Wedding Photographer</a></li>

here is my link!! I'm in. Awesome idea guys. We will be changing our site too very soon, but I will keep the link on the homepage. I think I will use the "o" in our copyright at the bottom of our homepage. That seems sneaky enough!

Does anyone have an opinion about the use of the php script. Does it have the same effect with the google bots as having the html. It seems like it should be the same thing, because doesn't the php script write the html into the page? Just curious. Is anyone having good results with the search engines who is using the php script?

Thanks for doing this guys. Invaluable!

Both of you have been added to my page. As far as I know, everyone has been updated.

There was a lot of discussion (mostly by me 'cause I wasn't sure) about whether the PHP script would work. We all determined it would work fine because from the browsers' perspectives, the page is on your site. The browser has no idea where the server gets the data for the page.

I'm pretty sure everything is working, now. If those of you who are using the PHP script would let me know that it's working, I'd appreciate it.

Still having other issues with the new site, but nothing concerning the OSP links.

Oh, and there's another link at the bottom just added this morning.

I would love to be in on this too, but I am not so websavvy. I have done the link thing with a couple of other forums for family photographers and it does really work.
If the list on the first page is currently updated I will be more then happy to add this to my site as well. My info is:

http://www.annakarinsphotography.com
Baton Rouge wedding photographer, LA

thanks,

The list on our site is the most recent (as far as I know). If you want instructions on how to use the PHP script on your site so the links get updated automatically, let me know, and I'll send them to you.

http://www.squierphotography.com/links/

yes please do share instructions. I have already links on my site but got those up by help from another photog. So I know I can add more easily.
So since I will be added this late in the game, will the others update theirs to include me too then??
Thanks,

OK, I'll get some instructions up. I'll probably post a page on my site how to do it. Stay tuned to this station thread for instructions coming soon.

I'm in! But I'll need those directions ;-)

Just emailed you Adam, here's my posting...

<a href="http://www.CaptureTheExperience.com/" title="Minneapolis Saint Paul Minnesota, Portrait, Event, and Wedding Photography" target="_blank">Twin Cities Minneapolis Saint Paul Minnesota Creative, Portrait, Event, Family, and Wedding Photography - <strong>Teichroew Photography</strong></a>

I'm not so great on the technical side of things, but I'll figure it out or get someone to help me. :-)

You did? I didn't get it.

OK, at long last, I have a page with instructions on it. I'm sure it'll need to be edited for clarity, so if you all want to look at it and let me know if it makes sense, that would be great. I'll link to this page in my signature, too.

Here you go:
http://www.squierphotography.com/links/linkinstructions.html

Let me know if there are any problems with it.

Just a little FYI for everyone. To play this game, everyone needs to have their list of links in an HTML link from the home page. So if you have a flash site, you can put the link in the HTML part of the page (the "wrapper"). This will, however, put the link on every page of your site. If you have a splash page, just put in there and it'll only be there.

Now, you can color the link to make it harder to see, but it cannot be the same color as the background to make it invisible. It could be a little graphic (not invisible, though) or just text. The best way is to just have a normal link, and not try to hide it. That way, when other people on the list look at your site, they'll know how to find the links.

It's very hard to audit people's sites to make sure everyone is playing by the rules. Sometimes it's easy to find the link to their links page. Other times it's impossible without searching the source of the HTML page. And even then it can be difficult -- especially if it doesn't exist.

Please, everyone, do not pick and choose which links you want to link to from your site, as this puts those who aren't linked at a disadvantage. Some of us have worked very hard getting our position on the search engines and it defeats that work if some of the links are missing.

Of course, if you're not using the PHP script and manually updating the pages, we all understand that you sometimes can't update your site right away.

Please, everyone who's on the list, do a quick check of your links page to make sure it's up to date. The latest list is on our Web site at http://www.squierphotography.com/links/.

I know I've asked this before, but if everyone could send me a quick message telling me exactly how to get to the links page on your site, that would make the "auditing" so much easier.

There are some folks who haven't been able to update their sites to include the links. I can understand not being able to do it on your own. I have set up some instructions on my page to (hopefully) make it easier. If you have someone else doing your updating, please have them do it now. Or at least by next Tuesday.

And if anyone has questions or comments about any of this, please let me know.

Hey Adam, thanks for the heads up today. I'm up to date with all the links as of today.

And just to reiterate what Adam is saying;

Participation in the link exchange is voluntary. Nobody is forcing anyone to sign on.

But, if you do sign on, then you have to list everyone who is on the current exchange. It does not matter if they are in your same city or target market, as they may not even be targeting the same clientele that you are, or be in the same price bracket that you are.

Having met recently with some extremely friendly OSP-minded colleagues locally, we all agree that we are not REALLY competitors, as there are MORE than enough brides to go around for each of our business models. Add to that, that we're in different price brackets across the board, and each have a different business model.

Coincidentally, we're all booking up quite nicely for the summer months as it is, and are each referring possible bookings to each other as well as another local who we have not managed to get onto OSP quite yet.

The basic principle of OSP is Open Source. We are not competitors here guys. We're friends and colleagues.

Have a fabulous Friday, and a kick bootie weekend shooting, if you're shooting.

This is great. I will add mine later tonight.

Thanks,

Anna, here is what your link code would be for everyone to add to their page. I'm adding you now, as I don't think you were added yet to Adam's list.


<li><a href="http://www.annakarinsphotography.com/" title="Baton Rouge wedding photographer, LA" target="_blank"><strong>Baton Rouge wedding photographer, LA</a></li>

Your link is up there, Anna-Karin.

just updated mine

its at: http://polisphotography.com/osplinks.html

and is accessible through the © symbol on the home page

Thanks for help Adam. I actually went the easy route and copied and pasted your version on your site, as I figured it was up to date. Mine is on located at the bottom on my splash page, called osp links.

Now my questions is since I am getting in a tad bit late in the game on this one, I hope the others that was in on the beginning is updating theirs to include us latecomers as well?
