Where on XF do I place other people's link requests?

[Divinum Fiat]

I'm getting some inquiries for link exchanges but where on XF am I suppose to place their links? Are these links suppose to be visible to the public or are they just 'hidden' somewhere on my site?

I have a "links" section/forum with links to external sites. You could also create a custom page with links but that's more work in the long run.

They should be publicly visible - so that both people and search engines can see the links.

You could add a "page" node with the links in - but if you intend to add a lot of them, you could consider using a link directory where you can add lots of links into different categories of your own making. There's an add-on available if you want a directory:

I have that add-on but it never occurred to me to use the directory to place other people's links because that directly requires for a bit more info than just a link and a website name.

Thank you both!

You should probably make the Links a Xenporta module.
Is there one ?
A manual .html text box would probably work.

I do have a few xenporta boxes available for storing html but I don't know where I would place it. Don't want to have it glaring on the front page. Where's the best place to put it?

Under share this page ?

By the time I'm done with my front page there won't be any space left. Plus I think that would look quite ugly, won't it?

Might stick with giving them a directory entry instead, more work for me but nicer looking.
