[edit]
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Hurricane Daniel (2006). Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 17:21, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
Backlinks
[edit](in response to comment on my talk page) Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do to help. There are a lot of blogs out there and they all would benefit from links from a high-traffic site like Wikipedia (not as much you think, though, see the text about nofollow above). So if we allowed "backlinks" from anyone who asked we'd be totally overrun and our articles would be worthless. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 18:12, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
