Re: linking website URLs
I believe it's perfectly fine if you're not infringing a trademark, furthering an illegal enterprise or otherwise doing something other than "for more information." "Deep linking" probably has more risk associated with it.
Have a look at this website: http://www.chillingeffects.org/linking/
It's a terrific source for the kind of question you're asking.
