Backlinks and banners

A link to one of our networks is rewarded with a color-highlighting of your entry. Here, it makes no difference whether you choose a text link, a banner or even a small therapists list.

Text link

Please always create a link to the main domain (www.psychotherapy-network.eu) without indicating paths to certain folders or files, so that the link will work in the long run: Network Psychotherapy.

Deluxe variant: Listing for the Homepage (WebNapping)

Therapist list as HTML

Moreover, you can provide the visitors of your website with a summarized excerpt from your therapist list. In this way you can integrate dynamic contents in a static website. The iFrame, which can be used anywhere in your .html pages, has only few code lines and can be integrated very quickly and easily, even if you don't have extensive HTML skills. Here is an example: Practice for Sexual Therapy. As a general rule only updated entries having a complete profile with a photo and website will be considered.

You can adjust the size of the iFrames yourself. Some other parameters can also be included in iFrame content, so that, for example, you can block out a certain area code region, so that no direct competition will appear on your pages. It is also possible to determine the number of entries or the length of the list which is to appear in the iFrame. The layout is given for the most part; as for the font, it can be matched with your design in terms of type, size and color.

Therapist list with query function in HTML

Instead of presetting the parameters for the selection, you can also offer your visitors a search mask, which can be used to browse the database for therapists from the desired location or area code region. Here, it is only the formatting that can be matched by using the variable 'style'. Here is an example: Community of Psychological Practices. All entries are considered.

Therapists list as PHP

If you have the possibility to integrate or to let somebody else integrate PHP into your homepage, you can very easily insert your list into a .php file in the form of an include. Here is an example: Family Therapy Practices. As a general rule only updated entries having a complete profile with a photo and website are considered.

Here, too, the desired parameters are attached as variables to a file which is to be accessed. You can determine the same parameters as with the iFrame, except for the variable 'style'. The width of the table's column is aligned with your layout, should you choose to place it inside a table column. The advantage, as compared to the iFrame solution, is that the displaying is carried out according to the default formatting in your stylesheets, so that no color adjustment is necessary.

New: List of therapists in RSS

If you subscribe to the latest entries from the lists of therapists from all networks in form of a RSS feed for your reader or would like to integrate the same in your website, you can always find the respective current XML file: Psychotherapy. Then you can let it be read out with a PHP skript and be displayed on your pages. The XML file can be used by anybody for free and without any restrictions, not even a previous permit being required.

The excerpts from the lists as iFrame or php include can be used by the members of the network as well as by other webmasters. When using the lists outside the network, the source text must, however, be briefly authorized, before it can actually be integrated, so that any damage to the database can be excluded. However, this is normally a mere formality. But your feedback can possibly help to further improve and extend the source text. Unauthorized use constitutes a violation of the copy right and will be prosecuted accordingly!

How to create a backlink?

You can create a backlink from your homepage to a page of your choice. Usually no new page has to be created for this sake. Most websites already have a page that is designated for links to external pages, e.g. for references to professional associations, befriended therapists or the like. Just add our text or banner link. If you do not administer the website yourself, please let your webmaster perform the adding. Please also make sure that the page, on which the backlink appears, is registered with Google, at least.

What is a backlink actually good for?

Google, currently the most important search engine on the Internet, preferentially displays sites that are often referred to by other websites. This is one of the main reasons to actually enroll into a list: Through the entry the number of links on your homepage (link popularity) is increased, and so is the priority, with which Google displays your websites in a position further up on the results list. The higher the evaluation score of the website, on which the link was created, the higher the benefit for the target address. Therefore, it is also in the interest of the participants to increase the link popularity of the network portals, because these pass their Google valuation on to the Internet pages that are listed there.

According to which principles is the formatting of the font carried out in iFrame or php include?

The modification of the font is carried out according to the syntax of Cascade Style Sheets (CSS). Here, all settings are allowed, that are also permitted in CSS for the formatting of paragraphs, e.g. fonts, color of the font, size of the font etc. The attributes that are valid for container <p style='...'> are attached as a variable to the link cited in the script. For example, if you want the font to be small, red and in Arial, you can write the following in the continuous text:

<p style="font-size:10pt; color:red; font-family:Arial">Text</p>

Thus you simply attach the variable 'style' with the respective parameters to the called up file by simply using a question mark: Instead of <a href="http://www.network-psychotherapy.eu/organisation/php/abfrage_liste.php"> you now write:

<a href="http://www.network-psychotherapy.eu/organisation/php/abfrage_liste.php?style=font-size:10pt;color:red;font-family:Arial">

Further variables can be attached connected with '&'. The order does not play a role here. It is only important that the style attributes are separated by a semicolon and that there are no blank spaces in between. In PHP, formatting through the use of 'style' is usually not necessary, because it can be carried out more easily by using the StyleSheet of the PHP page. Alternatively, you can set the PHP include into a <div></div> container and format it accordingly.

But I also support my competition through my backlink, don't I?

That cannot be excluded, indeed. After all, the user has the freedom to choose the therapists that best suits her or him. However, by creating a backlink, your competition supports you to the same extent. Therefore we will not be able to avoid an obligation to create backlinks in the long run. Entries without a backlink will then at least be downgraded, and therefore will be less striking in the result lists. For this reason it makes sense to already set the backlink on your master list.

For the list variant you can identify an area code region that is to be blocked, so that at least your direct competition from your region will not appear on the lists.
