Learn About Link Exchanges
Exchanging
links with other related websites, in addition to GBBL is very important for two reasons.
Direct
Traffic: Users of other websites (such as this one, other
B&B websites, your website) often will use the links
provided to them to continue their search for B&B's or
other travel resources. This traffic is often much heavier than
you might think and should be a prime condideration above and
beyond the beneficial affect on "Search Engine Rankins"
listed below.
Search
Engine Ranking: Search engines such as Google, MSN and Yahoo
all use link popularity as a major factor in their ranking of
search results. B&B's that actively seek out and link their
websites to other sites benefit immensely by the
"inbound" links from website similar to their
own in that the search engines view the inbound links as "votes" for the popularity of your site. If you
indicate on your submission form that you would like to exchange
links directly with other GBBL registrants, we will unobtrusively
add that fact to the bottom of your listing thus communicating that
fact to other B&B owners who may contact you directly.
If you
indicate "Yes" on this part of the Submission Form, you will
receive direct requests from other B&B operators that wish to
exchange links with your site. You should only indicate
"Yes" if you plan on exchanging links with those requests
that you deem to be appropriate.
