Webmasters, read this!

We have moved a step further in our link exchange strategy. No more reciprocal linking for the sake of exchanging links with other sites; we have reason to believe that such a policy would not help much with search engines.

Instead, what a website needs are links from related sites - in our case - home theater sites, with a good piece of text about that website. To search engines, this represents a high value recommendation from one site to another.

This is exactly what we are offering! Write a short, or long article about a topic you cover on your home theater site; this will serve as content to our site; we will reward that with a high value link to your website. Our site visitors will be able to rate and comment on your article so... the better your article is, the more it will stand out, and the more promotion for your site! Therefore, make sure your article represents great home theater content.

We say a high value link. Practical Home Theater Guide is rated by Alexia within the top 0.5% of all sites on the web, has a good Google rating, and attracts more than 150,000 unique visitors each month!
