How to add a link to my site?

[rsalan]

I want to send emails to various site owners that I've recently talked to about linking to each others sites and I've been reading on the correct way to do this. Would like someone to tell me if this is the correct format for me to send in an email for someone to "copy and paste" to a page within their site.


<A HREF="http://www.my site url">My Company Name - Brief description</A>

I think only My Company Name and brief description would show, is that right?
I hate to send this in an email then find out I missed something. Appreciate anyone's help.

Thanks

why no ones answered this is amazing.. yes thats fine as far as code goes, but no need to use caps.
Make sure 'brief description' contains your main keyterms with as few words as possible.
If you were being picky you'd leave out the company name and just use your main keyterms in the link text, but the companies linking to you may not like that, and it doesnt look professional.

although 'linking to each others sites' in the original post may indicate reciprocal. I dont think theres anything wrong with a few reciprocals providing you're all in the same industry.

some sites are using bb code.. like this:
[url]yoursite[/url]
