The Links for
1. “The Cultural Center of Cape Cod is now accepting submissions for its May exhibition Bloomin’ Arts.”
AND for
2. “Request for Lens-Based/Photographic Media Artist Proposals Atlanta ” …
DO NOT lead to pages describing the respective exhibits and application processes.
Instead they lead to each organization’s home page. The home pages are so poorly designed that I found NO path to information on the opportunity.
These are the only two links I checked from this post, but it’s not uncommon.
If you want to advertise various peoples’ home pages, whether or not there’s an opportunity to be found, hey great – I’ll send mine!
If you want to provide links to opportunities, follow the link (just click). If it doesn’t lead to the description, don’t post it – insist the organization sends you a valid address to link to first.
They’re actually hurting their search ranking and findability with the bogus links.
