This section, like most early links’ sections on the web, was
started to provide visitors with other interesting sites and to get
ourselves linked around the place. The most famous links’ page
of them all is Yahoo!, which we asked to link us back in 1994 and
we saw grow to the online presence it is today.
As Jack Yan & Associates grew on the internet,
we approached other sites to link to us. When we reciprocated, their
sites wound up here. Since we always keep our word, we didn’t
kill our links’ section as other sites did when they found it
no longer served them, because we felt an obligation to those who
said they would exchange with us.
So, this continues to be a growing section on our
site and in some ways, it’s a fun, historical look back at eight
years of exchanging links on the web and a glance at some of the places
we surf to as online hot-spots.
There’ll be an occasional link in this section
that’ll have been a casualty of the dot-com crash. Whenever we
spot a site that’s disappeared, we remove it. But many of those
that remain are still our recommendations of the best of the web.
We hope you enjoy this part of the Jack Yan & Associates site
and have a glimpse at the places we’ve considered our favourites. |
