Abstract
A method establishes page links between pages on the Internet. Individual sites (collections of pages) include dedicated links pages that consolidate links to other sites. The links page associated with a given site (the first site) includes an "add link" button that, when selected, allows an owner of a second site to add a link to the links page. The new link can be used to establish a link from the links page to the second site. To ensure reciprocity, the method also includes prompting the owner of the second site for a link back to a page of the first site and later checking the second site for the link back.
