If you can find a few people to link to your pointer site, this could be very effective. However some of the pointer sites I've seen are just the same post over and over again. I suppose you'd have to link to those kinds of pointer sites with your own sites because no one else would want to be associated with that type of link.

The best links are links from sites related to yours, sites with similar content. I wouldn't exchange links with unrelated sites, but one way links from unrelated sites won't hurt you. One way links from unrelated sites will probably never hurt you because then your competitors could sign you up for free for all link pages and the like to hurt your Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13251884276103018797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051959.post-1095765355254158962004-09-21T04:12:00.000-07:002004-09-21T04:15:55.253-07:00I moved this blog a long time ago, but I'm back with a new focus on how links fit into the search engine ranking picture. I now have over ten web sites, and by tracking where they are in the SERPs I've been able to discern a few things about linking and search engine rankings.

For example a link like ESLgo doesn't help for the keyword ESL. That's why a domain name like esl-go might have been better. Now I realize the problem and ask people to put ESL go in the text link. Of course other ESL sites Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13251884276103018797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051959.post-1069073019376630062003-11-17T04:43:00.000-08:002003-11-17T04:43:45.233-08:00This is an update on my first ever post about search engine page ranking. As of today, I'm back up to #10 for speaking activities on Google and #9 on Yahoo. I'm talking about my ESL speaking activities page.
What did I do? Well I added "speaking activities" o the page a few times, but I don't think that's what changed things because the cached version is still the old version (without the added Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13251884276103018797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051959.post-1068952096390155962003-11-15T19:08:00.000-08:002003-11-15T19:10:16.153-08:00My Google page rank for ESL go - English as second language learning and teaching recently dropped from 6 to 5 despite the fact that I've gotten many more sites to link to me and added many more pages (all of which link back to the home page).
I did a search for link:http://www.eslgo.com and it came up with 33 sites (used to come back with 49), and all but three or four of the sites are pages Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13251884276103018797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051959.post-1068344140723928492003-11-08T18:15:00.000-08:002003-11-09T07:39:15.650-08:00More about the ESL go speaking activities page. I've been told on these great web design forums that the page rank indicator on the Google task bar is based only on links to/from a page. I'm still a bit confused because I don't think there had been any external links to that page, and none of the internal links have changed.
I've noticed that most of my main pages, ESL resources for example, Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13251884276103018797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6051959.post-1068311156047479542003-11-08T09:05:00.000-08:002003-11-08T09:06:00.296-08:00ESL go.com's speaking activities used to have a page rank of 4 and was number 5 in Yahoo and Google search results. Now it's number 12 in Google and 10 in Yahoo, so I checked the page rank. My Google task bar says the page is not ranked. I didn't do anything to get it unranked, so I keep wondering if a competitor can somehow hurt my page rank.
