Requesting a Link

Q. How do I submit a link for indexing?

A. Before you submit a link, try to get a feel for the type of information that is covered on Canada Online. If you think your site would fit in well, then by all means send me the URL and some information about the page. It's also helpful if you suggest where you'd like to see the page included. I appreciate suggestions, and I review them all. It takes time though, so please be patient. The links that appear on the site are chosen very carefully.
