LINK ANALYSIS
Search
engines base part of its ranking
algorithm on the number, quality,
and variety of inbound links to
a website. Link popularity is calculated
on the number of hyperlinks, from
other websites, that pointed to
your web site. The more links that
point to your site, the easier that
it was to gain a high ranking position
on the search engines. Number and
relevancy of outside links significantly
affects the ranking of your website
by search engines, and even helps
you get your website indexed faster.
If a site that has a link to yours
is already indexed, the spiders
visiting that site will follow the
link to your website.
Google
uses PageRank™ (http://www.google.com/technology/)
to examine the entire link structure
of the web and determine which pages
are most important. It then conducts
hypertext-matching analysis to determine
which pages are relevant to the
specific search being conducted.
By combining overall importance
and query-specific relevance, Google
is able to put the most relevant
and reliable results first.
Submissions
in Directories
Submit
to all the directories you can find,
so long as they are related (e.g.,
don't submit to the casino directory
unless your site is about casino).
Submitting to a directory should
not be a mindless activity. Read
the directory's directions on how
to submit Very Carefully. Write
your description very well, and
tailor it to each directory in order
to follow their guidelines.
Make sure you submit (and get in)

directory out there today.
Do research and find "vertical
directories" that focus on
your industry/sector, and submit
