Long ago, the Red Dragon Inn was a powerful force in the realm of D&D websites. Verily, we enjoyed a Google PageRank of 5!

Then, we were beset by plagues and server crashes. The webmaster moved us to a new system. Extended downtime caused a loss of membership, as well as a severing of links from other sites.

We have emerged from these dark times, stronger than ever before, with a website far better than we have ever enjoyed, even in the golden age of the Inn. And yet, we have fallen from grace - oour Google PageRank is now a mere 4... even a pitiful 3, depending on who you check with!

So, brave knights of the Inn, I offer a quest to those courageous enough to accept it. Go forth to other D&D and gaming sites, and spread the word of our Inn! Seek out links pages, and submit a link request, that we may see more traffic. Post links back to this fair Inn in forums where such postings are not frowned upon (in thy signatures, for example). Seek out sites of quality that may wish to trade links with the Inn!



Ahem. Please don't spam other sites, or post links where they are not welcomed. But if you know of a links page where we are not listed, your efforts to correct that would be much appreciated. We're always happy to trade links with *good* gaming sites (two page geocities personal sites don't count). Forum posts are great, as long as they are topical, and that forum does not mind. A mention of the Inn in your profile and/or signature is usually accepted by most boards... but again, check before you do such a thing.

Links to the front page are best (http://www.rdinn.net), but if you see a listing of, say, tools, dice rollers, etc, a link back to a given page or utility of the site is just fine, as well.

Thanks!

Yes, we need to be linked more, because we are one of the greatest communities concerning roleplaying games online (I have no idea what kind of other websites there are, but I still think we're one of the greatest )

Please mind the advice given above: Don't spam. We know that WE don't like people just becoming a member to advertize their own website or business. Be sensable; it can't be stressed enough. We want to lure people in, not have them come to the Red Dragon Inn to tell us to please stop bothering them.

This is the only D&D site I hang out in..on...around. Now I do frequent some Serenity sites but I don't think we could interest them in links. As to other sites I frequent alot ... I think the links would break the PG rating.

Maybe if I wrote some Serenity gaming articles?

For the uninitiated, what are google page ranks? And is 5 the highest?

Page rank goes from 0 (nonexistent/new/banned sites) to 10 (Google, Yahoo, etc). It is an exponential (at least, to some degree) scale - a 5 has a much larger margin of popularity when compared to a 4 than, say, a 2 does when compared to a 1.

Google doesn't release the actual breakpoints, and it is thought that these change from time to time. Still, PR is a good rule of thumb when determining a site's popularity.

I have a few other groups, I'll throw some links out there.
