Iâ€™m fairly new at this so please explain what add a links page means? I do have several links pointing to webpages in my main site on my blog. Do I create a link page pointing to them? I think I know how to do that. I just want to make sure this is what they want.

This has two possible answers. If you are looking to create a page for links to other sites that is specifically for that purpose you can create a page and call it something like Recommended Resources and create a page with the specific anchor text that you want. This can be great if you are swapping links with someone.

The other way to add links is through your blogroll although I will usually change the category name. On this blog I have called it My Sites and linked to various websites that I have. Now when you are doing this you get 3 lines to add your information. Name will be what shows on the sidebar, url is where anyone clicking it will be directed to. The third box is what will show on mouse over. You can use this as an ad or to let people know what they will get when they click through.

Both of these are good but the best link is one created with good anchor text in your actual content. That is the strongest link you can give someone or get on their site.
