3. I already have a website. It does not
appear high in the search engines. If I just have a link to my website in the RBD directory, will
my website appear higher in the search engines?
Answer
It should definately help. This is commonly referred
to as link popularity and should be practiced with complete logic. Listings in business directories
and listings on relevant industry websites are important factors. If your business is an accounting
firm with a website, and you have links placed on it to a motorcycle shop, a florist shop and a
pizza restaurant, and they link back to your website, where is the relevancy other than you think
each others websites are important enough to exchange links and you want to share that with your
website visitors. That is a personal opinion. However, exchanging links with other accounting firms
and businesses that compliment and/or support your industry maintains relevancy and is a genuine
relevant service you are providing to your website visitors. Remember, the purpose of search
engines is to deliver relevant results and they are continually improving to weed out irrelevant
material to their visitor's searches. It is imperative to their success. Practice with
complete logic and it will benefit your business website considerably.
