Sarge, before we did not like any direct links to places cause it hurt iboats rankings in the search engine/s.
I will put it this way, our smart guys in IT fixed it so it don't now.
We still want people to shop here at iboats and some links may still get moderated, but for the most part as long as it's not spam or porno, we will just watch.

Oh, I guess I never realized that direct links weren't allowed before. I also didn't know that they hurt search engine rankings... as far as I can recall from SEO courses the only thing about that was that if you had reciprocal links with another site it wasn't worth as much as if that other site had their links pointing at you but you didn't have any pointing in return, but having a link pointing at someone else without the reciprocating link didn't hurt... although there was some discussion about how being in a close partnership with another site actually helped even more... but that's besides this point.
