IDAHO COUNTY WEBSITE OWNERS!
WANT TO GENERATE MORE TRAFFIC TO YOUR WEBSITE?

There is a search engine algorithm with the Googles of the world commonly known as LINK POPULARITY. Many website owners achieve great success in generating increased traffic to their website just by sharing links with other websites. The more sites containing a link back to your website will increase the flow of traffic to your site through what is called “link popularity”.

One very effective method of creating link popularity for your website is to participate in what is known as “Article Marketing”.  This tool can be very effective, especially for a person who takes the time to write periodic articles relating to their own product or service.  These articles can be posted to your own website or blog, but also should be contributed to any number of free news oriented sites,  who willingly take articles that are complimentary to their particular news focus.  Its very important to include multiple links in your articles that point back to your Idaho County website.  This is one of the best ways to generate link popularity.

A second way to get link popularity generating higher relevancy in the search engines is to make sure that any memberships or subscriptions you have paid for include a link back to your website.  This is a no brainer idea to get more link popularity and is as important as putting your telephone and other contact information in the membership listing.

There is one last effective method of getting link popularity for your site. Surfing the website, find web directories that enable you to post a free link back to your website.  You may find these by conducting a basic search on Google.com or Bing.com or any search engine you like to use.  Once you locate the web directory, take a moment to register and follow the sequence of steps needed to make sure your website link is posted on that site. You’d be suprised by how many web directories out in cyberspace are very welcome to free listings.

For Idaho County site owners, this website that you’re visiting now at www.VisitIdahoCounty.com is the perfect example of a free web directory.  By submitting a link to VisitIdahoCounty.com, you can add your FREE LINK without any requirement for a reciprocal link . That means you’re getting the benefits of high traffic from this focused Idaho County Web Directory without having to reciprocate with a link back.  VisitIdahoCounty.com is a localized web directory for all resources for Idaho County Online.   If you want a free link on this growing web directory, your organization, product, service or club must be located in Idaho County.

What’s the catch?  Well, in most cases there is no catch.  The motivation for creating a focused web directory is to build traffic to the site and generate a quality, easy to use, web directory for a focused group.  You may check the privacy policy for any web directory you submit your listing to, in order to just make sure your email will not be used to send spam or email messages you have not opted-in to receive.  You can also decide to use a junk email that you’ve setup for these purposes, perhaps a free account at hotmail.com or yahoo.com just to make sure spam doesn’t interfere with your daily routine.  You can check those free accounts periodically to see if there is anything important, but otherwise, its purpose is for signing up to web directories for generating link popularity back to your site.

Why do we want link popularity?  Again, if the search engines see our website as being more relevant based on link popularity, your search engine rankings will increase.  With higher rankings, your website gets more exposure.  Generating more exposure to your products and services is essentially called “marketing”.  When we market our products or services, organizations or clubs, and generate traffic, we’re building our prospect base which leads to increased revenues through sales.  More sales is truly the bottomline to any business effort. Right?

Step 1:  Register Your Site

After you visit the above link and register your site, be sure to look for an email at the address you indicated on your registration, generated by the web directory program at www.VisitIdahoCounty.com The email is designed to authenticate you, and ensure that the email you have given is infact, your email address.  After you click on the link embedded inside the email, you’ll have full access to your account to add 1, 2 or more URL’s to various categories.  The submissions are moderated to ensure a quality resource for Idaho County and to disqualify those website links that have nothing to do with Idaho County.  Move on to Step 2!

Step 2:  Add URL

Look for the category that best reflects your website link, and make sure you select that category when you ADD URL.  However, if you don’t find the category that fits your product, service, club or organization, just use the “SUGGEST A CATEGORY” field to enter the category thats most appropriate for your link.  The administrator will take the time to ensure your link is posted under your suggested category as long as its not a duplication or inappropriate for the directory.
