What a nice fellow…
[rolygate]
…that chap Nick S is - a very solid fellow indeed. He’s given me a link to my new website, which is all about SEO and Usability, from his magnificent railway posters site.
Perhaps I could quote him on this subject: “…and in an unusual mood of thoughtfulness and generosity I bunged one to Chris’s site from my links (not NetResources) page.”
Well now - that’s most welcome. But what’s this? His ‘links’, not ‘NetResources’ page. Hmm. That bears a little comment, I think. Let’s take a closer look at his ‘links’ page:
www.southernposters.co.uk/links-southernpo.html
I don’t know if perhaps my eyes have completely failed at last, but to me that reads ‘links-southernpo.html’ - not ‘links.html’, which one would assume he was referring to as a better arrangement. What strange chappies these business fellows are! Technology is not really their strong point, is it? One of their number was recently heard to say “Technicals are all complete *rubbish*”, though I had to replace the precise word reputed to have been used. A person, in fact, quite similar to Nick himself in description.
Perhaps I could explain the links thing a little better? And believe me, dear reader, it has to be in very short words and small doses to stand a chance of assimilation by these chappies! Not that they have a problem with assimilation, of course, as long as you make it Bollinger or Super Bock.
OK - the best link would be from within content (just like this in fact), to your desired internal page (not the index page). The next best would be from a resource page not called ‘Links’, but something a little more adventurous. The lowest value link of all comes from a links page, because quite rightly, that is deprecated.
Now, was that easy enough? And another thing - if you’re going to give me a link, is there any chance you could do it from a page with a higher Page Rank? That would really help a lot, actually. Or perhaps you could do something to raise the PR of that page a little? Would really appreciate it…
