SNOW REMOVAL MARKETING · ORIGINAL IAM GUIDE
External links: send the reader to the right source
Use original references for factual claims and keep advertisements visibly separate.
Link at the point where evidence matters
If an article explains a manufacturer capability, use the exact current product documentation rather than an unrelated retailer homepage. For search-platform statements, link the original platform guidance. Describe what the reference supports. A source list at the bottom can be useful, but it should not leave readers guessing which document justifies an important assertion in the text.
Check the source’s scope
A document may describe one model, one jurisdiction or one publication date. Do not turn it into a universal statement about every contractor or property. If a reference has changed, compare the actual wording before updating the article. A healthy link is only an access check; it is not proof that the destination still supports the claim beside it.
Separate editorial references from ads
An equipment directory advertisement has a commercial purpose distinct from a technical source. Label it and make the destination clear. The Kongtractors and ProMows banners on this site are advertising placements, not evidence that those businesses verified an article. Qualified ad links should not be sold as a promise of ranking credit or converted into hidden endorsements.
Keep a durable reference record
Store the checked URL, document title, access date and the statement it supports. Record a replacement when the original disappears. Avoid copying whole articles into the source file as a substitute for original explanation. Where a relevant source cannot be verified, remove the unsupported detail or state the unresolved question instead of making the link look authoritative through presentation.
Use this in your next review
Audit five external links on one page. Classify each as a source, a business destination or an advertisement. Confirm the claim and relationship are clear before the visitor clicks.
