Text Links Support Great Bridge Links
Some of you may have noticed text links to casinos popping up here and there on Great Bridge Links (mostly at the bottom of our home page and in some of our articles). We made the decision, a few years back, to allow these links as sponsorship and support for Great Bridge Links. Some of you are casino fans, we know, but for the rest of you, we make every effort to keep the links from interfering with the useful content you know and love on this site – but I invite feedback always at jude@greatbridgelinks.com
