You have arrived at the web home of Noah Brier. This is mostly an archive of over a decade of blogging and other writing. You can read more about me or get in touch.

For your protection and ours we have established a procedure for parties wishing to introduce a link to the ATHENS 2004 website on their site.

How is it possible in this point in the web's development there are still large WebPages out there that think they can control the links pointing them? Second, why would they even want to? The more pages that link to you, the better the Google position. If everyone linked to this page, it's within the realm of possibility that it could overtake the official Olympic website (at least that's how I understand the way Google works, it is possible that in the cases of official websites like that there is some kind of special positioning, though I highly doubt that).

b) Not associate the link with any image, esp. the ATHENS 2004 Emblem (see paragraph below)

- Reason for linking
- Unique URL containing the link (if no unique URL than just the main URL)
- Publishing period
- Contact point (e-mail address)
