Deep Linking (inbound links)
Deep linking allows users to enter on the page (URL) where they will find the exact content they are looking for. For example if an external site is offering a link to get a vacation planning kit, it would be confusing for the user to have to navigate through our site to find this information. Instead, the link from the external site should land them right on the URL for the order guides page. This in essence is what we call deep linking.
The New Brunswick Department of Tourism and Parks requires that linking sites adhere to the following guidelines when deep linking:
· Indicate (in text format) that the consumer is going to the official Province of New Brunswick Tourism site.
· Do not remove, change or otherwise obscure the New Brunswick copyright notice or logo.
· Do not frame the www.TourismNewBrunswick.ca content or otherwise infringe on our intellectual property rights.
· Do not indicate in any way that linking to any page within the www.TourismNewBrunswick.ca web site implies endorsement by The New Brunswick Department of Tourism and Parks.
· Do not misrepresent its relationship with the Department of Tourism and Parks and will not refer to the Department as a partner unless given the authority to do so.
· Discontinue linking to the www.TourismNewBrunswick.ca or the appropriate page within the site upon written request by the New Brunswick Department of Tourism and Parks.
If you agree with the terms noted above, you should provide written notice to nbtourism@gnb.ca, as this will allow the Department to notify you of upcoming changes to site content and structure so that your links do not become invalid.
The Department will not reasonably refuse a request for an inward link, provided that the organization is reputable and is not, in the opinion of the New Brunswick Department of Tourism and Parks, harmful to the image or reputation of the Department or province of New Brunswick.
The Department will provide inbound links with standard-sized banners and icons for download purposes.
