Team.. sorry about my long absence... i'm back now.. Here are the reasons why i believe that linking to ONE website: http://evdo-coverage.com/wireless-internet-service/ will be beneficial to all participants.
Tom, ok... why steer them away:... 1. your biz's are geo specific. so.. even if your guests went to the map... they'd only find you again anyways... 2. If you wish... since we are the original members of this map project.. i can restrict new wisps to ONLY add their locations IF they are not competing with your territories.. Personally, my interest is in mapping regions... NOT creating intraregional competition 3. chances are .. NOBODY will click on the link... just having the words "wireless internet" is not leading ... ___________________ As for why these specific terms "Wireless Internet" = 800,000 people /m search this in google "wisp" = 50,000 people search for this in google per month. So, I'd rather opt for the higher traffic front page. http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion _______________ As for WHY NOT burried at bottom of webpage... ok... this is how google works... (all caps used for italics) and for your own search marketing.. this is important to know.. remember... google is the NEW Yellow pages.. google ranks websites based on (in this order) 1) link terms -> search query matches so... if a million websites like to your site as link: RELIABLE -> http://reliableinter.net THEN, if someone goes into google and types "RELIABLE" you're website is likely to come up top ten. under that word... BUT... what you WANT is to be found under a search for "wireless internet" since you're far more likely to have a qualified lead this way. 2) Key Word Frequency So, If you are a wisp, then in plain Html, the word "WISP" needs to be at about 17% of the total volume of your home page... 3) Key Word Placement Tom, this addresses your question... google ranks sites based on NOT ONLY QUANTITY but also, LOCATION of words... so... a word or a link at the top of the page will get more "points" than a link at the bottom. I can certainly get you Google Stats... Yahoo stats are self serve and very similar to googles.. so... just take the number of visitors you see here: http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion and multiply by 20X to see how many people would see your website ... (google gets about 20X more traffic than Yahoo for tech issues) On 8/20/05, Brian Rohrbacher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I understood it like this. We all put those words on our site.
