One important step in marketing your website is to get as many “inbound” links as you can. It is very important that these links are text links and not images or banners. Don’t engage into link exchange schemes that may get your site banned from Google. It’s alway best to put your link on relevant and related sites.

Why?
Search engines like Google consider the number of websites that link to your site as one of the factors in ranking your site. If you install the Google Toolbar you will see a button called PageRank. Inside there is a tool called “Backward Links” which will show you all the sites with links to yours. If you don’t have any you need to get some. If you have some, you need to get more.

Where to get Inbound links
Start with online directories like www.dmoz.org and others that may relate to your industry. You can also try vendor and customers websites, Blogs, local directories, chamber of commerce sites, forums, etc.

Most directories have specific policies and procedures for submitting links so please read them carefully.

New Site; New Blog

May 10th, 2008

New Website

This month we lauched the new version of delgar.net.

We went with a more organic and artistic approach than in the past. The site is a hybrid (Flash and HTML) because we want to maintain and improve our search engine rankings. Full Flash sites are awsome but they are not very SEO friendly.

Our portfolio was trimmed to show only about 1/3 of the works we have done. We felt these examples had enough variety to show potential clients our capabilities. There are still a few little bugs to fix but we were really exited to get this up and running.

Blog

The blog just got started and will be growing as time permits. We will be adding some info relating to web design and SEO. Later we’ll work on changing the look of the blog to match the site. For now client works will come first.
