ROAD & TRAVEL Magazine continuously seeks link partners with automotive, travel and safety-related websites that offer complementary content to RTM and its readers. We wish to provide consumers with as many resources as possible for making auto purchases, travel plans, or decisions on safety.

Each partner is carefully considered to ensure that their products or services are of quality grade and conducive to consumer needs. It is important that all content offer infor-mation that will help consumers make informed decisions.

CRITERIA FOR LINKING TO RTM

In order to be accepted as a link partner with RTM your site must meet the following criteria. Sites that do not meet this criteria will not be accepted as reciprocal link partners.

• Content must be travel, automotive, or safety-related
• Be consumer friendly to both men and women (29-59)
• Design and content must be first rate quality
• A minimum ranking of 5/10 in Google
• A minimum of 250,000 page views per month.
     (RTM requires documented proof for page views)

• Contain a clear link on all pages to partner links
• Contain a section for publications link partners
• RTM does not accept reciprocal links with link farms
• RTM does not link with sites that contain negative content

If your site is of quality content and design, complements RTM content, but does not have the required page ranking or unique visitors, you may submit your request to be placed for linking in a RTM related section for a one-time placement fee of $50, plus a reciprocal link back to RTM. This fee does not guarantee placement. Your site will be reviewed for content, design and relevancy before accepted or declined. BED & BREAKFAST sites, click here.

If your site is of quality content and complements RTM content, but does not have the required traffic to qualify for a reciprocal link or does not offer a link designation for publications, RTM will request RTM logo/link placement instead.

If your site is accepted it will be listed in alphabetical order in the appropriate category section with a direct link back to your website. RTM will then forward its content description/link or logo/link to you for placement on your site. This reciprocal link exchange is a FREE service for qualified sites.

WHY LINK POPULARITY IS IMPORTANT

Good link popularity can dramatically increase traffic to your website. Well placed links are an excellent source of consistent and targeted traffic.

Most of the major search engines now factor Link Popularity into their relevancy algorithms. As a result, increasing the number of links to and from your site can improve your search engine rankings. There is still no one secret trick to getting good rankings, but boosting your site's popularity may give it the edge it needs!

ROAD & TRAVEL STATISTICS FOR LINKING

RTM's "Recommended Links" section is promoted in its COMPANY section. Each partner link is placed its respective category. See below. RTM has a Google ranking of 6/10. Click [Web Stats] for unique visitors and page views.


If your company does not provide reciprocal links, RTM accepts logo links and content descriptions for a one-time flat fee of $50.00. Send all link requests, paid or FREE, to editor@roadandtravel.com. Please be sure to include your description and link, and be sure to let us know on which page the RTM link will be placed on your site.
