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.

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.
