It is important to have a legitimate reason why someone would like to link to you. Most of the incoming links to my site I am unaware of... This may be basic, but you must provide either a service or goods that provide some credibility to the site linking to you. For example, many churches, retreats, conference centers link to findthedivine.com because they wish to offer their clients and web visitors a link to a directory of important information about retreats. Their clients appreciate them for this "value" link and it really cost them nothing to do. Bottom line -- make sure you have a site that others would want to link to even without your invitation to do so! Phil Fields,
