We welcome reciprocal links to our websites by
relevant organizations. Please link to
http://www.ontheshortlist.com or
http://www.gdi-solutions.com
unless a particular page is of special interest, in which case we ask that
it be described in a way which is similar to our own description on that
page. In general, if your website is listed in any of our directories,
we have already concluded that your organization and website is relevant to
our work. This is easily checked through a Search
of our websites. If not, please contact us about being listed.
For example, an economic development organization may choose
to link to the Area Profile for their area or an Area Report for their Tour
event. A service provider may prefer to link to their own Service Profile
or Biographic Profile. Both may choose to link to an Ad Recall listing
on GDI-Solutions.com which highlights their own recent advertising, or to an
Event Recall directory for an event at which they are an exhibitor, sponsor,
or speaker. In some cases, there may be special interest in linking to
a particular directory on our main website, such as the Invest USA
directory, foreign-trade zone directory, BRAC directory, Invest in Europe
directory, etc. In such cases of "deep links" to specific content
rather than to our home page, please describe the nature of the link in a
manner consistent with our own description of the content on such pages. |
