Q.
What is a Reciprocal Link? A.
It is a link back to my site from your site hyper linked to http://seacrestcrafts.com.
A Reciprocal Link must be posted back to my site for any of my
linking Options except Non-Linking Partners before I will post a link to your
site. It
can be banner with Title, a Text Link or a Text and Banner
Link. I would rather not have just a Banner link without my
Site Title below it, also hyper linked as this does little
for Search Engine Ratings. If
you are a basic listing partner, I will post as your link
back in much the same format you post my link. For example
if you use my proper Title Sea Crest Jewelry Designs and
Description, I will use your proper Title and
Description. But if you have a site with a list of
links with short descriptions I will edit your description
to about the same length. Also some sites like to use
the URL of a site for a title, so if you call me seacrestcrafts.com
instead of my proper Title Sea Crest Jewelry Designs, I will
call your site by your URL and not your proper Title.

What is a Category? A.
The Link Directory is divided into Categories or Themes. All
similar sites are listed together on the same page for
customers to find them easier, such as looking for Jewelry
- Beaded. For example if you are a Platinum Link
Partner, your link will appear on 5 different Category Pages
in addition to your Main Category listing.

| Q.
What is a Title and why is it
limited to 65 Characters? A.
It is just the Name of your site, for example my Title
is Sea Crest Jewelry Designs. It is limited to 65 Characters
because this is all my linking program will allow. Also
Search Engines only look at the first 65 Characters or so
when they form their listings.

| Q.
What is a Text Description
and why is it limited to 200 Characters? A.
This tells the world about your web site. It is best
to write in complete sentence, not just a list of keywords.
Use your keywords but include them in complete sentences or
phrases and it will make your Search Engine ratings a lot
better. It is limited to 200 Characters because this is all
my linking program will allow. People don't read web pages
much but look at the big type and pictures, so you only need
this much room to hit them with your product or service
rapidly.

Q.
What are Quotes? A.
At the bottom of the listing an optional quote or slogan may be included.
Quotes must be in the form
of a sentence and contain different text than what is listed
in your description. Text html may also be used if you
want to include a link to your directory or a specific
product. Again here there is a 80 Character limit to
the HTML or text.

I read in one of the bulletin boards that sites using Zeus
would not be listed in Google, is this true?
A. I have
actually heard the same thing for over a year now and it
has not affected my listing with Google at all. In
fact my site has been reviewed ever month over the past
year and my rating continues to rise. Google ranks Sea Crest Jewelry Designs
a 6/10 of importance. Although I also do not link
with Spam or junk sites which could possibly get a website
removed from a search engine. |
