Links to your web site from other sites is the best way to get your web site 'top listed' in search engines.

With Ask and Receiveâ„¢ you let visitors automatically add their own links to your site and then approve which links you want to accept. Also, with Ask and Receiveâ„¢ you can add outgoing links directly to your own site, and 'nudge' those site owners to return the favor by linking to you.

Ask and Receiveâ„¢ contains over 50 user editable features in the rl_vars.php file. This file can either be edited with a text editor, or, depending on the configuration of your ISP's installation of PHP, can be edited from the Ask and Receiveâ„¢ Administration menu.
