About Our Links

People are always asking about the links at the site ... Every section of our site involves extensive research. Sometimes, we end up selecting just a couple of the best sites we find and linking to them or the products they sell--or we end up including content they provide in a variety of ways. Other times, there are several high quality sites out there and we create a directory to link to them. Did you know that sites are supposed to obtain permission before they link to other sites? Most sites do not enforce this policy, but some do. In order to make sure that the links at Do The Research are legal, the links usually either are from sites that grant open permission or that provide clear ways to obtain permission. Luckily, many sites offer programs that offer a way to link to their sites and commission for referring site visitors. That commission, combined with voluntary contributions, is what keeps Do The Research online. Other information and site features often result from people and companies who generously share their programming work or provide content for use on other sites. In our efforts to provide you with the information you need, we often feature directory information with detailed descriptions of other web sites. When possible, our links to other sites open new browser windows so you can easily return to our site and continue to browse the information we provide. As a result of several deciding factors, your favorite web site might not be included at Do The Research. If it's not, please let us know so we can look into it.
