In Reply to: "Deep Linking" is prohibited according to AA rules?? posted by Darryl on December 06, 2001 at 15:42:21:
Actually, it is fairly common for sites to either prohibit deep links and to make it impossible to do. There was a case a year or so ago where a site was doing that to another large site where the content was put in a frame making it look like their own.You'd have to ask Bruce the specifics behind the reasoning. AFAIK, the key issue is commercial sites that would link to reviews or content for the purpose of selling their products. Inless we generally prohibit it, then requiring people to get permission doesn't make sense. If someone wants to link the AA's home page or to a forum, that's fine. This is really targeted toward links directly to a XYZ product review.

I understand that it is the Asylum's right to prohibit deep links and that it also might be in the Asylum's best interest to do so.On the other hand, if memory serves, I first ran across the Asylum via deap links from Charles Altmann's jitter pages (http://www.jitter.de). I don't know if he has permition to use these links to reviews of his products, but I don't know how much longer it would have taken me to find the Asylum, say via Google (hey are those deep links? :)

I think prohibiting deep linking is silly. No commercial site is going to deep link to AA reviews and risk losing the user. Deep linking is a great way for AA to get traffic and increases ranking in Google. I think deep linking should be encouraged.
