Get “Hubbed”, Get Ranked

Join our recently launched LinkTopper™ (formerly: SB Distributed Free Search Engine Portal™) program to boost your web site's link popularity and search engine rankings. Implement a value-added service for your visitors, before they leave your site to go and search elsewhere. It is absolutely free and installation is a no-brainer. It may help increase your web site's clout with the search engines, qualifying it as a hub, i.e. a site with important outgoing links. In many cases, this can improve your search engine rankings dramatically!

More and more major search engines are currently modifying their ranking algorithms both to combat spam and to increase search results relevance. One prime factor boosting a web site's relevance and, hence, search engine ranking, is the quality of both content and of featured outgoing links. (That's why submitting your site to thousands of FFA pages will do nothing to improve your ranking.)

Our LinkTopper™ program with its Free Distributed Search Engine Portal and Internet Directory tackles this problem by supplying you with prime content relevant to any site, even if you are not involved in the search engine industry: as a courtesy service to your visitors, a search engine portal will always qualify for relevance. Moreover, the search engines simply love sites offering links to them!

How Search Engines Work

Why You Should Shun Caching Search Engines

While all search engines use caching to build their indices, some of them make a point of displaying cached web pages to their users under the pretext that it offers searchers faster access to a page's content. Of course, what this actually does is keep visitors on the search engine's site, making them more susceptible to banner ads and other means of promotion. It also turns the search engine into a prime decloaking hazard.

The Myth of Manual Search Engine Submission

One of the ongoing myths abounding in the search engine world is that of manual submission being strongly to be preferred. If you follow discussions in forums and newsgroups you will frequently encounter advice of the type: “submit manually only, or else …” Well — or else, what? Is there something inherently evil or inefficient about automatic submission? And if so, where's the problem?

More Than Meets the Eye

Until very recently the ratio of keywords to body text was deemed to be one of the most important factors to achieve a good search engine ranking. Learn here how and why this is changing.

Achieving Top Rankings With the Search Engines

In a nutshell: what it takes and what it doesn't.

Branding, Sloganizing and Search Engine Marketing

Search engines: “Play them right, and they will feed you. Play them wrong, and they will eat you.”
