If you want hits on your web pages you need to know that search engines are weighing HEAVILY the "Link Popularity" determined by the number of other sites "LINKED" to your site. To increase your chances of getting your site LISTED on the database of the MAJOR SEARCH ENGINES you need RECIPROCAL LINKS.
Reciprocal links are mainly buttons and banners but you can also reciprocate or trade text links with other sites. We think banners are too large and take up too much space and therefore favor small button links. The most common size for button links is a width 88 pixels and a height 31 pixels.
These buttons load fast and several can be placed on your front page to your site.
A good way to increase the number of links to your site is to create a link from your page to another of your pages set up to display those reciprocal links. Of course you should link from your front page to the links page. Our largest home page, after adding 15 links went to an average of 42 hits per day with 76 to 100 hits not being unusual.
The next most helpful tool to accomplish linking is to create a button, as described above, to trade with other web site owners. You must then provide them with the appropriate url to link to your site. You can provide script to cut and paste to their site. However, all script is not the same, the url and the button will normally suffice. To be fancy create a e-mail form for them to respond.
Our reciprocal link is shown below as it appears. If you select View and then Source to look at our's, or most other's programing language you can cut and paste the language.
