"Deep Linking" is prohibited according to AA rules??

206.135.133.73

I find this prohibition odd, especially given that people in AA posts constantly deep link into other sites.

I think that as long as the calling page states that the link is going into a specific section of Audio Asylum then it's OK.

At the risk of Deep Linking, here's a deep link to AA's HTML tag not allowed

What is the rationale for this? I almost never see deep linking prohibitions on other sites. You would think that AA would WANT deep links into its site so that outsiders may be exposed to AA.

In fact, that's how I stumbled upon AA -- through a Deep Link. If you had an automatic header included at the top of every page, you would be assured that someone who came into AA through a deep link would know where they are.

FYI a "Deep Link" is defined as a URL hyperlink to content "deep" inside a web site, eg, a specific post, such as:

http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/general/messages/156649.html

I suppose it is OK to have a link that goes right to the AA start page:

http://www.audioasylum.com

Thanks,
Darryl
