Beneficial  Links And Negative Links

Beneficial links to your webpages from websites that the search engines regard highly as authoritative and contextually relevant may be the single most important factor in your search engine ranking. This kind of inbound link ("backlink") can be viewed as a vote for your webpage.

There are also negative links from web pages that have been or may be banned by search engines, are not highly regarded or have no relevance to the content of your page.

For example, lets say ours is a home remodeling website.

Backlink on the homepage of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. = Good

Backlink on the Allman Brothers Band links page. = Bad

No disrespect to the Allmans, they are not relevant to home remodeling.

The number of beneficial inbound links to your site are key to determining how high the search engines rank your site. NumberOneOnTheList.com can help you with that.

The most valuable thing you can do for yourself to optimize your website for the search engines is to provide your own unique informative content. All search engines have as their primary task to list appropriate websites in order of relevance.

For example, let's take a search for "proper nutition"

There's Joe the Nutritionist's website which gives his address, office hours, a picture of a salad and 3 paragraphs about nutrition.

There's 21st Century Nutrition's website which gives healthy menus, recommended supplements, a free calorie counter, a table comparing the glycemic index of various foods, testimonials from clients, a blog about Nutrition Tips that is updated twice per week and an archive of monthly newsletters.

Obviously, the search engines will rank 21st Century Nutrition higher than Joe the Nutritionist due to the far greater quantity of quality original content.

Today's Joke

This is the World's Funniest Joke
 
It took a year of painstaking scientific research in a project described as the largest-ever scientific study into humor. The British Association for the Advancement of Science asked Internet users around the world to submit their favorite jokes and rate the funniness of other people's offerings.

More than 40,000 jokes from 70 countries and 2 million critiques later, this is the world's funniest joke:

Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed.

The other man pulls out his phone and calls emergency services. He gasps to the operator: "My friend is dead! What can I do?"

The operator in a calm, soothing voice replies: "Take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead."

There is silence, then a shot is heard.

Back on the phone, the hunter says, "OK, now what?"
