We maintain a link policy to ensure the privacy of our site visitors and maintain the integrity of our website.

We encourage reciprocal linking to our website, but it is not required. The Jack Rooney Website has been in continuous operation since 1994. It has received millions of unique visitors and is one of the most respected information websites in the entertainment industry.

We will consider your website for link to our site under the following terms and conditions.

Your site must contain a substantial amount of useful information for our site visitors without cost. We do not link to sites that charge admission fees for access to content unless the site provides a free, unlimited access trial period that allows the visitor time to make an educated and informed judgment about spending money with the site operators. Prohibited links are described herein.

We have no objection to sites that sell books, CDs, videos, DVDs, or how to do XYZ information, media content, or any other commercial items or services, or who offer "premium" member services. The general rule we follow however is that all linked sites at our website must be balanced with sufficient useful content provided for free to our website guests to justify that we suggest your site to our fans and visitors. When you ask us to link to your site, you are asking us for an endorsement of your business and your activities on the Internet. We endorse sites which we feel are worthy of endorsement, and we do not endorse sites we think are a scam or which contain false, vague, misleading information or statements designed to solicit money from our site visitors for vaguely defined products or services. The majority of our site visitors are our fans or individuals working in the performing arts industry seeking information about their career field.

Generally, we do not link to sites that require visitors to provide email or other personal information before gaining access to some useful content at the linked site.

We do not link to sites that promote pyramid schemes or get rich quick scams.

We do not link to sites that do not have a privacy policy in place on the website and who do not have a permanent physical business address and contact information posted conspicuously at the site. A post office box number is not a physical address.

We do not link to sites that sell access to job information, such as casting information for movies or television shows, gig or booking information for bands or performing artists, or open-ended, vaguely defined promotional services for actors, models, musicians or performing artists.

We do not link to sites that solicit payola (charge fees) to promote music or films.

We do not link to sites that solicit payola to review music or films.

We do not link to sites that solicit payola to gain access to casting or A&R personnel who work for the studios or labels.

We do not link to sites that solicit payola to submit the artist, or their art, or resume, or bio, or audition tape, or demo CD to casting directors or A&R personnel who work for the studios or labels.

We do not link to sites that charge up-front fees to obtain job information for the artist to self-submit their art, or resume, or bio, or audition tape, or demo CD to casting directors or A&R personnel who work for the studios or labels.

We do not link to sites that contain pornography, or who advocate hate towards races or ethnic groups, violence towards women or children, cruelty to animals, that contain hate speech or hate writings or advocate the violent overthrow of governments or encourage the breaking of the laws of nations. We encourage all forms of peaceful, non-violent political and social dissent through art, music, films, books and essays, and the open and free expression of ideas.

We do not link to sites that use pop-up advertisements that contain embedded code such as Java script or other script coding that collects visitor information from our site guests, such as the site visitor's IP address or computer address or any other unique identifier. We do not link to sites that plant cookies on our guest's computer which would in any way interfere with or track a visitor's surfing activities on the Internet including cookies that would disable the visitor's Back button in the visitor's browser with script code to prevent the visitor from moving back to our website with the Back button. Tracking cookies designed to deliver content to a site visitor within your site are permitted provided they remain benign after the visitor leaves your website.

We review all links quarterly to ensure they comply with this Link Policy. Links found in violation of this Link Policy are deleted from our website.

Advertisements at our site are clearly marked as "paid commercial advertisement" so our site visitors can clearly distinguish between paid advertisements and site links we freely endorse because they are useful to artists. We do not provide preferential placement for links. Linking to our website is not for sale. Advertisements are clearly marked as such. We may rotate and/or move, re-post, and display your link at different places throughout our website at our discretion.

Links are classified into several categories and placed in several distinct locations at our site. The Artist Links section is reserved for actors, musicians, performing artists, models, directors, writers, and production personal seeking employment in their respective career fields. The Best Showbiz Links section is for businesses that provide useful services and content to these artists. The Best Music Links section is for businesses that provide useful services and content to Muicians. The Fan Sites link section is just what it says, a catalogue of sites that are fans of Jack Rooney, and Jack has a whole lot of fans.

We reserve the right to modify our link policy at any time; to make and grant exceptions and exemptions based solely upon our judgement.
