In This Issue:
Random Free Hosting Site
We'd like to
congratulate IvyTX for being the winner
of this month's free hosting site. At the beginning of each month we
will call up our own site's homepage. Whomever's site is the featured
site when the page loads will get FREE hosting of one domain for one
month. It's just our way of saying thank you.
Even
Steven Link Exchange
We're getting inundated
with questions about whether it would be valuable to link to
such-and-such site (most recently
www.arcadia.com ).
In most case we would
recommend no for the following reasons. You want their link, and your
link back to them, to have about the same "value". The link you'd put
on your site would be one click away from your homepage (very good for
them). The link they have for one of our client's site is so buried I
could not find a way there from their homepage. (See below)

In other words, folks would find a link TO their site very easily from
your site. But few folks would ever find the page your site's link is
on.
To recap. Linking to and from other sites is valuable, aids in
increasing your ranking on the search engines, and a goal you should
work toward. But the reciprocal site should be related to your
industry and their links page should be one or two clicks away from
the homepage.
Kosmix - New Search Engine
At
Kosmix, they're
passionate about building a world class search engine that lets people
search less, and discover more great stuff. There are billions of
pages on the Web that are useful, but never see the light of day
through a standard search engine. They want to help you find those
great pages, and make it easy and fun to do in the process.
Right now they're in the early stages, and at this point only cover a
handful of categories. But they already cover Travel and are accepting
entries. If you're in the travel/accommodations business (or any other
business I guess) and would like submit your site to Kosmix, send an
e-mailing submit@kosmix.com .
