However it is not considered constructive to link a different website, say FGH.com. If you mention FGH.com in the course of providing information about XYZ.com, then we ask that you use an internal WikiLink to the AboutUs wiki page about FGH.com. example:
Linking to different websites other than the one you are on, looks like spam to us. That is because an AboutUs page about a website is about that website. (Social Media links, like facebook, twitter, etc. are ok) If you are writing an article on your expertise, or creating a list on a topic you know – or even when you’re editing your own personal page, and you want to link externally, we encourage you to use the LinkPair template for any website you mention. LinkPair creates both an internal wiki link and an external (visit) link:
Many times that was insufficient, because you never called the website XYZ.com – and you never call it that, you call it XYZ. I figured out today some long lost knowledge! How to label these links:

| Entrepreneurs Foundation Guides AboutUs Community Program Posted: 20 Oct 2010 09:30 AM PDT  Last week, I met with Lisa Sloan, president of Entrepreneurs Foundation of the Northwest, and community service Wonder Woman. EFNW, which recently merged with Oregon Entrepreneurs Network, helps its member companies give back to the community. AboutUs is a member of EFNW, having already contributed stock to the foundation. That's one of the main things EFNW does – it holds a member company's stock until the company is acquired or goes public. Then the foundation contributes that stock to the nonprofits designated by the company. Simply put: If your company is overwhelmed by the task of starting a service initiative, EFNW to the rescue! And, in a charitable double-whammy, if your company hits the jackpot, nonprofits of your choice benefit. Cha-ching! So, I sat down with Lisa. I told her that our CEO, Ray King, wants to find ways for our employees to use their unique talents to benefit Portland. I found out that EFNW makes giving back to the community so, so easy. Lisa told me EFNW will design an employee survey to find out what our interests and passions are, and will give us recommendations based on the results. Instead of management dictating what kind of community work we'll do, our involvement will come out of what we all really care about. But wait, there's more. EFNW will also give us a calendar of community events, reach out to groups we want to work with, and provide all the forms we need to run a good community service program. I'm really excited about getting our new charitable efforts up and running – and really happy that there's a professional group in town that can help us leap the walls of red tape in a single bound!    |
