Suggestions for Reciprocal Links to RF Cafe (& daily logos)

It is a well-know fact that search engine rankings are enhanced when quality websites contain reciprocal links to each other. If I have listed your company on RF Cafe and you have not yet provided a reciprocal link, please consider using one of the following prepared links of either text or a graphic.

RF Cafe does NOT purposely provide links to "keyword magnet" sites that exist purely to lure searchers onto their website with the sole purpose of flashing ads in their faces. Those site offer nothing other than a useless list of hyperlinks. Please do not even bother contacting me for a reciprocal link if you run that sort of site. Also, do not send a link request unless you actually work at the company you claim to represent; I am sick of lying website optimizers promising me a reciprocal link on their client's website and then never following through after I list them.

RF Cafe returns very highly, often at the top of the list on page one, for many key engineering and scientific keyword searches, and is regarded as a "high quality website" amongst search engines. Having your website linked to from RF Cafe is a definite asset for you that I am happy to provide, since I personally control every listing. Many requests have been rejected over the years either because they applicant's website is not of the quality that RF Cafe visitors need to be exposed to, or because they are simply not relevant. I'm watching your back!

Thank-you.   - Kirt Blattenberger

Many of these logos commemorate people, places, and companies. My intention is to pay tribute to the significance of each. Images have been gathered from all over the Internet; ownership, copyright, legal right to use, etc., are all acknowledged when possible, and are in no way meant to imply any affiliation between RF Cafe and the entity being referenced. If you object to the use of an image and are the legal owner, please let me know and I will be glad to remove it.

The easy way to use one of the images is to just place your cursor over it, right-click and do "Copy," then simply paste it into your HTML page. The hyperlink, image, and mouse-over description will all paste in automatically.

RF Cafe - RF Cafe is a unique portal for RF and microwave engineering resources. There you will find a vast collection of original content with definitions, equations, references and conversions that cover electrical, mechanical, physical, chemical and mathematical fields. Many interactive calculators are available for everything from filters to voltage dividers. In addition, you will find extensive links to other websites for vendor parts, application notes, test notes, amateur radio information, technical magazines and books, patent and communications standards, and much more.
What makes RF Cafe so attractive is the daily headlines, the daily historical events list, and even technology-themed crossword puzzles that you will find nowhere else. The Factoids are always an interesting read, no matter what the subject (always relevant), and some of the Notable Quotes are hilarious. There is always a plethora of new material added, and is highlighted in the Recent Additions list. Even occasional humor items are thrown in to add some levity to the workday.

For the job seeker or the employer seeking applicants, the RF Cafe Job Board provides a very focused, popular and professional venue for posting and searching resumes.

Kirt Blattenberger is a degreed RF engineer who runs RF Cafe with a degree of passion not apparent in the other top “professional” websites. Many people have been surprised to learn that RF Cafe is not maintained with a full staff of editors and web designers, but it is not.
