The Frequently Asked [or should be asked] Questions

Q. What is the concept behind Promotinglondon.com word tag page?
A. Promotinglondon.com lets you buy a word and its related hyperlink and then point it to the website of your choosing. This gives you a valuable inbound link to help increase your search engine position along with direct visitor traffic from click throughs.

Q. Can you explain the benefits to me in greater detail?
A. One of the significant factors used by search engines to judge the quality of websites is the quantity and quality of links pointing to the site from other websites. Amongst the specifics of what search engines take into consideration are; the amount and ratio of linked text to normal text contained in the outgoing page [directory sites simply consist of lists of hundreds of outgoing links per page are generally deemed unacceptable by search engines, in fact the sites which appear in these lists may even have their position downgraded by the likes of Google etc]; the quality of the other content on the page containing the outgoing links [whether the content subject is relevant to the links in any way]; the importance or page ranking of the outgoing page in terms of search engines [a link from a web page which has a high page rank is better than one from a low ranked page]. Remember, being as there will only ever be 97 tags on the promotinglondon.com link page and that the page also contains a significant amount of content relevant to the theme of the website, and you are getting a direct link to your site, it is easy to see how advantageous your link will be in the long term.

Q. How are you planning to promote & develop the Promotinglondon.com site?
A. Firstly, a multi-strand strategy of building incoming links, london focused directory listings, press releases and blogs will be used to market the word tag promotion.

Secondly, the choice of domain name was deliberate in that the idea is to gradually build other sections on to the site all with the purpose of doing what it says in the domain - Promoting London! What form this development takes will depend on what new, viable marketing tools become available - what is certain is that this will not include a plain old listing directory containing thousands of virtually worthless links or some other similarily devalued resource.
