Fort Smith websites are bad about not helping people to find other Fort Smith websites. Lots of people don't realize the benefits of linking to other local websites, but I'll try to explain its importance for you in this post. When you drive down Rogers Ave. here in town you see thousands of cars parked at businesses of all different kinds. People pay a lot of money to open businesses on Rogers Ave. because of that. Why does everyone end up on that road as opposed to N 6th street? It’s because if you need something you are sure to find it in one of the stores or shops on Rogers. If you are going to work you will see lots of signs for stores and businesses of all kinds. Everything is so close together it is very convenient to shop there and so that drives up traffic. In the same way if your web site was for a local car lot and you linked your site to restaurants, computer stores, and insurance agents, it won't hurt your business, it would actually help because those sites would be willing to link back to you, they will become kind of your neighbors on the internet. This helps your search engine ratings with Google and Yahoo, as well as driving traffic from your neighbors onto your site. If you'd like to start linking up to other non competing businesses give us a call and our web designers can see about getting your web site up to speed. Kirkham Systems 478-3032.
