Getting the site to show up on the search engines requires three main elements; time, links, and content. The content for this site will be coming from the site’s owner. Time is something we can’t do much about. Links will be important and we are going to be hard at working in developing links for the site. How are links developed? There is a natural link development that occurs as people find the site and link to it from their own websites and blogs. That is why good content is so important. Links can also be developed by putting the site on link directories. This is process is quite time consuming and many of the link directories want to be paid for the privilege of being in their directory. There are free directories available, but you have to do your research. One of the best ways to develop links is to contact sites that are similar to the one you are developing and ask them to exchange links. In this process you are looking to exchange site wide links. A site wide link is a link that is placed on every page of a site to maximize the benefit. Contact the potential link exchange sites y email and tell them what you are hoping to do. Make sure you leave your URL so that they can check out your site and make sure you are legitimate. I get a lot of requests for links, and I am happy to exchange links with legitimate sites, but a lot of requests come from sites that are nothing more than a big Adsense page. This is another reason content is so important. I want to be careful that I don’t send readers from my site to a site that doesn’t have quality content. We will keep you updated on the progress of the site in the weeks ahead.
