Sites that link to us
There are three main categories of sites that link to the Research Cooperative:
I. Sites created by the creator of the Research Cooperative.
II. Independent sites where a Research Cooperative member has left a message and link - for example in a forum discussion or as a reply to a blog post.
III. Independent sites where the site owners or others have added a link to the Research Cooperative (this may be at our request, sometimes not).
It is possible to find these links using the Google Webmaster system (see https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=en), and I have selected a few examples below, for illustration (Categories II and III). Looking at some of these links may be useful for further thinking about how to encourage effective linking to the Research Cooperative.
Category II examples.

Conclusion
Generally speaking, it is rare for sites to link to us without being approached first. Our visibility is not great. We probably need to be more systematic, by looking for some key science networking sites, and making Research Cooperative visible on those sites, rather than approaching many small-scale sites in an ad hoc manner.
