Holy Kaw: You Need Written Permission To Link To RBI Homepage

Alright, this is super awesome observation made by Pluggd.in that RBI requires other websites to have a written permission to link to their website 😁

Here's what RBI website mentions -

Links to this Web Site from other web sites

Except as set forth below, caching and links to, and the framing of this Web Site or any of the contents are prohibited.

Linking to the Home Page - You may link to the Home Page of this Web Site, <RBI HOMEPAGE LINK | We can't link, you see, we don't have permission> upon notifying RBI in writing.

[​IMG]For hyper-Linking to an internal page of this Web Site (not being the Home Page) the user must make a specific request for, and secure permission from RBI prior to hyper-linking to, or framing, this Web Site or any of the contents, or engaging in similar activities. RBI reserves the right to impose conditions when permitting any hyper-linking to, or framing of this Web Site or any of the contents.

We seriously do not know why RBI has this policy in place for hyper-linking to their website. Of course, security experts may comment below and let us know the reason behind this. There are websites that die to get links from external high PR websites to get better rankings in search engine. RBI of course does not better page ranks because visitors to RBI website do know what they're looking for.

What do you think about RBI's site linking policy? Too Secure, or ...stupid? 😀
