external links policy

the france travel guide approach to external linking

France Travel Guide includes links to both its own and external websites. Before accepting such links they have to be relevant to the content they are linking from.

These links are included for a number of reasons, including:

• for further relevant information or other key source material
• for background information
• for useful practical information
• for entertainment or enjoyment
• for further informed comment

FTG does not link to external sites in return for cash, services or any other consideration in kind other than reciprocal link(s) on the external website.

FTG links to sites purely on editorial merit, and on the basis of free access. FTG does not support website links where users may be asked to register or subscribe before viewing content.

External links are selected and reviewed when the page is published. However, FTG is not responsible for the content of external websites. This is because:

• FTG does not produce them or maintain/update them
• FTG cannot change them
• they can be changed without the FTG's knowledge or agreement.

The inclusion of a link to an external website from france-travel-guide.net should not be understood to be an endorsement of that website or the site's owners (or their products/services).

Links to user generated material
Some of the content we link to is generated by members of the public (message boards and photo-sharing sites for example). The views expressed are those of the public and unless specifically stated are not those of FTG. If you consider this content to be in breach of the house rules as indicated on the website, please alert the moderators or site owners on the sites where the material appears.

Links to videos, such as YouTube, are made in good faith and in the belief that they are available for use on the FTG website. Should this be found not to be the case, or the link is found to no longer work correctly, FTG will immediately remove the video link and welcomes information about such failures. FTG cannot be responsible for the content of such links, but we have viewed all such videos before making the link to ensure their relevance.
