Website links are the online version of word-of-mouth. Since links are an important factor to search engines, it comes as no surprise that growing the quality and number of links to your website is critical to increase your online popularity and thus improve your search engine rankings.
Many search engine optimisation firms offer link-building services. However this is something you can do yourself as the key ingredient is quality content people will want to link to.
There is a reciprocal links page on http://www.penrithvalley.com.au/ that has links to local attraction, tourism and City Marketing related businesses and services.
If you are not already on this page (www.penrithvalley.com.au/index.asp?id=29) we’d love you to join the party. If you link us to your site, we will return the favour…simple, easy and best of all FREE!
All you need to do is send me a link to a section of your site that links to http://www.penrithvalley.com.au/ and I will add your website link to this list. My direct email is shamilton@penrithcity.nsw.gov.au
