Link exchange anyone?
Chris_R - 25/2/04 at 10:56 PM

Have recently started my locost build and have uploaded the first draught of my build diary to the web. Most search engines are now charging Ł199 plus so am looking for some help. If anyone out there wants to exchange links then let me know. My URL is http://www.chris.renney.dsl.pipex.com/

where are you looking?

http://www.google.co.uk/addurl.html - all you need


Chris_R - 26/2/04 at 05:57 PM

Have managed to find a few freebies, but inclusion isn't guaranteed and there's a 6 month plus wait. Cheers though.

hmmmn, i'm not convinced, if you're getting hits, chances are google will pick you up, and of course, there's nothing wrong with a little googlebombing to get yourself up.

and remeber, google are the most popular, which ones charge for inclusion?


Chris_R - 26/2/04 at 09:48 PM

Thought Lycos were subscription only, but have just checked and there free service is still available for the time being. Excite have an inclusion fee. Yahoo and Google are free, but again there's no guarantee and there's a long wait. As it stands I'm not really getting any hits so that's why I thought you guys could help out.

subscribe to google, then spam my site around a load, tend to get reasonably good results


Chris_R - 26/2/04 at 10:12 PM

have subscribed to Google, yahoo and Lycos... Hope they don't take too long :-) Many thanks.

<>Google ranks pages on a weighted system where your page <meta description> must match a certain percentage of words on the page. It then combines that with a score of how many sites are linked to your site. </Rough description>

So... yes I'll trade links with you.
Anyone else!

You can link to mine as well if you like!
It needs a revamp tho'.

Nice layout on your site. Very tidy!

I received this free trial from my ISP and it got my site listed on a host of search engines. This particular link to a free trial came from a Google search and I hope it works:

Jim McSorley also has a builders' index that generates a lot of traffic, and is open to all who are interested:

Now, if only I had a better web page! I suppose it would help if I actually built something...

Link Me!

I'm listed in google already, well, if you're very specific about what you search for.... The more people link to the more other people, the more google traffic you will get. My site needs a bit of an update (since November) but thats well on its way now..

Cheers
