story. But if you add this little twist your sure to
get the links.

their web site by linking to it. Put your business
advertisement at the top of the directory.

ads with other businesses. If both of you send out
information with auto-responders just exchange a
small classified ad to put at the bottom or top of
each other's auto-responder message. This would work
great with email courses too.

a resource box or a link at the end of the content.
