Step#3: <\/strong>Building <\/strong>Free Links to your website:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Links to your web site can accomplish a number of things, the least of which is making search engines aware of your pages. There is no advantage to submitting your site to search engines directly. Once a search engine becomes aware of your site from a link on any page in its index it will schedule a crawl of your site. Once your pages start showing up in the index there is no need for resubmission.\u00a0 Google Maps local business center<\/a> is a great place to get started building links for your site.

Links from pages that have content related to our web site and its content have value in improving search results. Search engine rankings are relying more on referrals from related sites. The closer the linking pages relate to your content, the more value they have as a referrer.
