I've just come across a very good piece of free software that will allow you to put a reciprocal link directory on your website - this in turn will help to raise your website's link popularity so you'll get your website ranked higher in their search engines.
One of the factors the search engines (such as Google) use to determine where your website should be listed in their rankings for various keywords is by your link popularity.
Link popularity is based on the number of other websites who link back to your website. If you have useful content on your website, another site owner may put a clickable link on his site that will take his site's visitors over to your site to check it out. These clickable links coming to your website are known as incoming links or backlinks. (They are also called inbound links, inlinks or inward links.)
You can also submit an article to an article directory and mention your website in the article (you'll want to make it a hyperlink) so that people can click on your link and come visit your website. Website owners who need content for their website will sometimes use articles from article directories. If they see your article and like it they might publish it on their website and supply you with free traffic to your site.
One of the easiest ways to get links to your website is by providing a reciprocal link directory. Website owners can submit their website's URL (website address) in your link directory in exchange for putting a link from their site back to yours. This is known as reciprocal linking.
You've probably seen quite a few link directories on the Internet. If you've been to Yahoo.com you should be familiar with what they look like. A link direcory is broken up into various categories and subcategories of topics.
With a reciprocal link direcory on your website, a site owner who wanted to submit his website's address would go to the category that contained listings related to the topic of his website and then fill out a short form and submit it. In order for his link to show up in your directory your link directory software would automatically verify that the submitter had first put a link for your website on his site.
This automatic solution to getting links to your website is very powerful. Some companies that offer link directory software charge close to $100 and then they only allow you to use it on one domain that you own. If you own more than one website, this can really be expensive. Some other companies charge a monthly membership fee for the use of their link directory software.
That's why I got so excited when I learned about this free solution. You can go to their website and see some video tutorials showing exactly how it works.
Now I know what you must be thinking - in fact I was thinking exactly the same thing myself when I first heard about it.
How can they offer such great software for Free???
Well the truth is - they have a free version and also a pro version.
The free version has many great features but the pro version is much, much more powerful. In addition, it also is packed with a lot of great bonuses.
Now there is a catch you should be aware of - when you go to download the free version you'll be offered a one time offer to get the pro version for $79.00.
If you decide to pass on the offer and just opt to get the free version you'll still be very happy.
However if you decide later on that you want to get all of the added features of the pro version - plus all the extra bonuses they toss in as well - the price to upgrade is going to be $197.00 (instead of the $79.00 you could have gotten it for in the first place).
I just thought you should know about this in advance.
