Pages like this one are how website operators used to promote other websites they like before Google and the SEO
industry ruined the World Wide Web. Theyâre still worth doing even if you care about SEO; just make sure Google isnât
allowed to crawl your links page using a robots.txt directive or <meta> tag.
