Dear Webmaster,
Hi! My name is Manisha and I work for FAT24. I'm in charge of identifying
websites for cross promotion for a new client of ours called Joyo96. I came
across your website and really liked it. I thought we could exchange links.
Joyo96 is mostly concerned with written Japanese lessons, books and software
- although there is also Japanese classical music available. It has a full
144-page course on the Katakana phonetic script, as well as 150 Kanji
etymologies with stroke order diagrams, calligraphic movies, example compounds,
and Spanish translations. There are primers on many topics, and links to lots of
free and commercial software. They have also developed a new "Paper Maker" which
allows the student to print out writing authentic writing practice paper
(squares for Kanji and Katakana and circles within squares for Hiragana).
The website was originally on AOL which only had counters for single pages so
we do not know the total traffic on the old site exactly, but from LinkEchange
data we know that it was about 700 page views per day, but as traffic is now
being migrated to the new site of same domain name, traffic has been steadily
climbing to an estimated 1200 page views per day.
Joyo96 would be happy to see you link to whichever parts you like the most.
We written some sparse lines that you can cut-n-paste, or edit as you see fit.
Hopefully your e-mail client will show the full code for cut-n-paste.
Of course we need to install a link to your site. I've tentatively written
the following for your edit, comment, and approval:
