Promote Your Website - Link Popularity
Posted by HART (1-800-HART) in : Articles, Link Popularity , add a commentBy Nowshade Kabir
What is link popularity?
The quantity of links in different websites pointing to your sites is called link popularity of your website. The more popular is your site the more links you get from other websites and vice versa.
Why is it so important?
Links from high traffic websites furnish you with constant stream of visitors. Other website marketing efforts i.e. email marketing, might give good influx of visitors while the campaign lasts but the quantity diminishes once the campaign is over. Links are a different story! Once a link is installed, it might start bringing a steady flow of visitors all the time, depending on the website where the link was placed.
Featured Listing in our Directory Listing
Posted by HART (1-800-HART) in : Free-For-All Directory Listing , add a commentAs you can tell from my previously ‘whined’ posts .. that I am trying to keep the spam out of the directory listing and that I personally accept every site into the directory. It’s a free directory. However, when I first created this site I also created a “Listing Type” to have a Featured listing every 30 days - for $5.00 USD.
I have decided that this is too time costly for me to maintain and I have set the directory that all featured listings are now PERMANENT … and changed the price to $50.00 USD for this lifetime addition to our directory.

Our Directory Listing Rejection Letter
Posted by HART (1-800-HART) in : Free-For-All Directory Listing , add a commentCurrently, on average, I am deleting over 150 spam entries into the Directory Listing every day. The amount seems to rise to about 200-300 these past two weekends .. and I must assume that it will get worse.
My biggest “PEEVE” is that our directory listing is being added to some automated software or script out there - (probably by one of those sites that promises to include you in 10,000 or a billion websites) - and site inclusion requests are not following my pre-requisite instructions.
I’m pretty flexible to what can go in the directory site .. but every site that is included is tested to see that no porn is immediately available on the splash and cover page .. and that no virus or spyware is provided to any surfer looking at the sites.
