searchengines (3K)Digital Tidbits
By Deborah Maisonet



We've all heard the talk about how links pointing to your site are a very important part of search engine strategy; what you may not have heard are the details. You don't just need links, you need the right kind of links. Why are links important? For several reasons:

  • links are how search engines find you
  • links are how search engines figure out what your site is about
  • links are how search engines figure out your site's importance.
While you can submit your site to a search engine - the search engines usually ignore the request or take forever to get around to it. The best way to get into the search engines is to help them find your site by providing plenty of links on other sites, pointing back to yours, for them to follow.

Google is very good at picking up sites; a single link from a site already indexed by Google is often all it takes to get your pages indexed, sometimes within a few days. Other indexes need a little more persuasion - they have to see multiple links into your site in order to trip over them and finally take the hint.

Being online is about communicating and being interactive. I research and find sites where you can add your website link and/or just be supportive! Let's suppoort one another.
