Bermuda Online Links to local entities

Courtesy electronic links and mentions are always given gladly to Bermuda-based organizations when they cross-link to us.

To refer by e-mail to this file use "bermuda-online.org/links" as your Subject.

Websites in brief

If you don't already have a website but would like one, instead consider as your first option the inexpensive service given by organizations such as

Using the above or similar, to get you registered for your own domain but doing it yourself can save you at least hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

Best way to control your website, especially when you have lots of photos or graphics and links is not online but offline via a free html WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor easily obtainable online.

The purpose of a website is to give your association or business or club or entity or organization a presence on the worldwide web at a price that is both realistic and affordable. Websites should be run directly from home or place of business by owners/managers, all of whom now have their own computers.

Properly naming a website is important. You can reasonably name it what you want providing you comply with certain parameters (for example, if the exact domain name and country code has not already been used).

A website is the principal communications, business development and functional tool of that particular business or group or organization. The administration and management of a corporate or civic or individually owned website should not be left by that entity's owner or management by default to any third party such as a website developer who does not have a personal vested interest in that particular business or entity and is not concerned whether it makes a profit or a loss so long as the requisite fees are paid. A good website developer will always make this clear and give instructions on how a website, once formed, should be controlled from within by their own owners or managers or administrators, no one else, in content of, updates for and hyperlinks (links) to and from that website. Don't make the mistake of not having a website of your own but instead merely being one of the participants in a website that features businesses both similar to and competing with yours. Your own uniquely-named website means having your own domain and the ability to express your own unique individuality, to use the website to your best advantage. Once a learning curve is achieved, perhaps with appropriate web-editing software if not already in use and a reasonably decent digital camera to add photographs and scanner, it's simple and quick to keep a website fresh with updates and changes. If you are a member of a national group, for example a member of a hotel association, make a point of getting your own website listed by and linked to that group.

Website links and mentions policy

Bermuda-based businesses or entities or those dealing regularly with Bermuda will be welcomed when they ask for a free, clearly visible courtesy link from Bermuda Online (BOL) at http://www.bermuda-online.org to their website. But it is on the understanding they will in turn create a free, clearly- visible-to-all courtesy link in their publicly accessible to all Links page from their website to http://www.bermuda-online.org. By clearly-visible-to-all is meant that BOL will gladly show the link to your website on this clearly-visible-to-all specific Links page and elsewhere as appropriate or mutually agreed once your website shows a clearly-visible-to-all link to BOL on your Links page. If you don't show a clearly-visible-to-all specific Links page on your site it is suggested you do so as it is a key part of our arrangement to link to you in return for your wishing to link to us. In addition to clearly-visible-to-all linking to BOL you should of course feel perfectly free to link to whoever else you wish.

Of course, it's your website's choice entirely in whether or not to link to us or anyone else. It's also our choice entirely. When other websites in Bermuda don't accept the standing invitation to exchange free courtesy hyperlinks with us we regret we are unable to refer to and/or show/mention them as additional and relevant Bermuda artistic resources when requested by readers. If you decide not to link to and/or mention BOL at all, fair enough. But understand it is equally fair for BOL not to mention in any way on our website anything about your entity. It is no longer possible to get free coverage on this website when there is no acknowledgement or mention of us as a Bermuda resource on your website as a reciprocated courtesy. Instead, there will always now be a cost involved. To pay for your advertising on Bermuda Online, contact marketing@royalgazette.bm. It will arrange it and advise us accordingly.

Having only one-way, not two-way, linkage makes no economic sense unless there are compelling reasons entirely at our own discretion. Bear in mind one of the prime purposes of suggesting/having a reciprocal link to corporate entities or community groups such as yours is to quickly and easily with huge economy of time and effort to allow third party readers to zero right in on your organization to get needed info including the times and dates, etc. of your meetings or accommodation rates or other services - from your own site, not ours. Most managers or above who are responsible for business development will be acutely aware of the benefits of linking.

Reciprocal links are often hugely important for many reasons, yet it is surprising how relatively few websites show a Links section, or know about and apply this. Plus, websites with poor visibility can benefit hugely by linking to much more popular websites (like this one). If you do not arrange links yourself, or don't own or administer your website yourself talk to your webmaster to arrange to link to us and get back to us once the link has been created (it only takes a minute or two to do by a competent office manager/administrator/webmaster).

Once you agree to mutually link, we will also gladly include, if you wish, a brief description of your website. Just email what your website's brief - one-line - description is to Keith A. Forbes, Editor and Webmaster, at kaforbes@logic.bm. In return, please use our one-line description which is "a portal with 125+ unique websites on Bermuda, constantly updated." Plus, if you have a logo and would like us to do so, we'll gladly use it. There are several types of linkage, as shown below.

You'll also be shown in our Links below and, depending on how many links you wish to show to us, we'll gladly match the number of links and mentions on relevant other of our numerous Bermuda Online web files.

Special extra service to websites that link to us. Furthermore, if you ever have a special event or calendar month item coming up, let us know and we'll include it in our monthly calendar for that month, complete with your full contact details including email and website links.

Standard Disclaimers re websites' linkage

Types of electronic links

Text links, plus a brief (one-line) description, is the quickest. If you'd like us to show your brief description as well as a text link, please show our ours (which is "125+ comprehensive unique websites on the most important aspects of Bermuda.")

Banner links are OK but be aware some switch off banner links as they consider them a nuisance, sometimes for good reason. Send us your banner ad if you wish. We'll send you ours. We'll gladly show yours when you show ours, which is:

Logo or photo links are fine. Send us your logo or photo link and we'll send you ours. We'll gladly show yours when you show ours, which is.

The following websites presently link to us here at Bermuda Online

The link is reciprocated. More will be added gladly immediately when they do the same.

Bermuda Stock Exchange. Listed in the top 33 global financial centres for value and volume of shares traded, in the Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI) report published by the City of London. In 2011 it issued a commemorative publication, Four Decades of Exchange Trading. Traced the BSX's four-decade history since 1971 and seeks to offer insight into its role in the continuing development of the capital market in Bermuda. It grew from very humble beginnings to become the world’s largest offshore, fully electronic securities market offering a full range of listing and trading opportunities for international and domestic issuers. In December 2011, a 16% stake in the BSX was purchased by the TMX Group, a $3.3 billion Canadian listed company, which recorded revenue of $673 million last year, owns and operates the Toronto Stock Exchange, the seventh large exchange in the world. It also has a majority interest in Boston Options Exchange (BOX) and owns Natural Gas Exchange (NGX) a leading North American exchange for the trading and clearing of natural gas and electricity contracts. The TMX’s investment came at the end of a year of increased financial activity between Canada and Bermuda. This included the signing of a tax information exchange agreement (TIEA) and Bermuda gaining recognition as a Designated Stock Exchange under Canada’s Income Tax Act, which went into effect in late October, 2011.
