Google Gives Web Page History More Importance

Creating a Basic Web Design Template

Build Web Pages from the Top Left Corner Down

Your objective is to get hundreds of links, and you cannot get the job done unless you have a strategy that works. First you have to accept that not all links are created equal. And that means that link partners have to be prioritized. Some are worthless because your links end up on pages that nobody looks at and have no PR. But at the other end of the spectrum a few of your link partners will be very valuable because they will give you links on high value, high traffic pages.

SuperCharge Your Website With Multi Linking
[Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Site-Promotion] The basic idea is simply to create lots of pages on your site and embed links pointing back to your most important target pages. This works because a link pointing at a page on your site -- your home page, for instance -- enhances that page whether it is coming from outside or inside your site. Think about how this might work if you had one or two secondary or support sites. Build some content on Sites B and C pointing back to pages on Site A. Isn't that a lot easier (and much more powerful) than wasting time asking anonymous webmasters for links on their spammy link pages?
