Qualifications

Candidates are chosen with the following criteria in mind:

• Quality and practical application of their site.
• Currently in our Top 10 listing.
• Ease in which an article can be written, based upon the information provided.

How to Apply

Place a Reciprocal Link
This is the very first step in us meeting one another. If you don't already have a link in our Design Links section, Place One Now.

• When placing our link on your site, don't just throw it in the nest of links on your links page. Check your site stats and see what pages are providing the highest traffic or which pages are your most common exit pages and place our reciprocal there. This won't steal people from your site, but when they are ready to leave, it will be a choice of where they can go.

Provide Article Material
Even if we are head-over-heels love you, we can't write an article if there is no information in your site that tells something about who you are or what you do. For us to share you with the world, you first need to share about yourselves.

• If you don't already have an About Us section in your website, Create One Now! Tell a little about yourselves, how ya got started, what you do and what you plan to do in the future.
   
• Once you see you've made it into our Top 10 listing, you can prepare an article of your own and submit it to us. If you were chosen, the article may be changed or used only in part, but it would still be information in our hands to aid us in writing a good article about you.
