A link is a link, but some links are more equal than others.

I think I'm right in saying a PR0 link is a positive so long as it's relevant to your target search phrases.

If you can get a lot of 6 7 0r 8 well you won't need as many links to be top dog.

Mike - I am on Page 1 on google search so don't think it'll be a problem but I understand what your getting at. You don't want to give links to other websites if it's going to de-rank yours.

Maintaining your position is like maintaining your fitness, you have to keep doing something or it will drop off.

These 50 odd high ranking links are they cleaning related ?

You can have some links to your site that you can put under the heading "other" - but ultimately you want trade related links.

If anyone with more knowledge than me thinks this is wrong then I stand corrected - but I was told this by Spencer and Mark and they should know.

When they are talking about pagerank they are not refering to the page you appear on for a google search but to a grading that google gives a page on your site.

I've got very limited knowledge, however, with the exception of a few links under the heading "other" all my links are carpet, general or window cleaning  - when I get link requests from poker sites or the like I delete them.

Perhaps Rab or Doug could expand on this - but most of us source cleaning related links for our sites, even linking with carpet cleaners in the U.S and Australia.

[derek west]

makes sense steve.
if someone types in carpet cleaner then the links should in theory help towards recognition.
gutted though about my links.
maybe mark at dpprint will have a few good cc links seeing as he knows a lot of carpet cleaners and he's building my website.
says it will be done by friday. flingers clossed, sorry, eating chinese again.

As long as you've got a links page mate, then you can go on any of ours and make a note of the links and then contact all the companies requesting a link from them - easy peesy.

Just don't do loads at once - I was told to get about 6 a week, apparently google don't like it if you go from zero to 50 links overnight.
