criteria used to evaluate links for posting in Organization Links

If an organization is large enough to consider itself a state, national, or international organization, then it should have its own domain name and not be a sub domain in some internet provider such as AOL, Google, or Yahoo. Size of the site or organization does not matter; however:
- A local organization should have more schools than just those of the president of the organization.
- A state organization should have a school in more than one city in the state.
- A national organization should have a school in more than one state, province, commonwealth, etc. of the nation.
- An international organization should have a school in more than one nation.
Quality of the site does not matter as long as the site looks professional. A legitimate organization should have a professionally designed web site, or at least appear professionally designed.
The address, phone number, email, etc. of the organization should be listed.
The purpose, history, and policy of the organization should be listed.
All major officials in the organization should be listed, along with their resumes.
All schools in the organization should be listed.
What you receive for membership in the organization should be listed.
Membership certificate should not display the persons rank unless the person is separately ranked by the organization. Listing the rank may be construed as an organizational endorsement of rank legitimacy.
Rank should only be issued by the organization to people who have attained rank through an organization school. If an organization is offering to issue rank to people from other organizations, the rank should only be honorary and the certificate indicate such. If the organization appears to be a "certificate mill," the link request will be rejected.
Selling something on the site is not a problem; however, if the site is only used as a means to sell something, the link request will be rejected. TKDTutor.com exists to promote the martial arts, not to promote martial art organizations.
If the site promotes some unconventional, illogical, or otherwise odd style or theories, the link request may be rejected.
