Why should I provide back links?
The idea behind automating back links is not just to make the submission process more effective and allow you to gain back links quicker. It helps web directories gain back links themselves, which in turn is helping your Google page rank because having links from high ranking sites greatly increases your sites’ search engine popularity.
The automated FTP template system
The automated FTP template system is very easy to customise. The best way is to start off with the example template provided which looks like the following:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title><!-- title --></title>
</head>
<style>
.linkborder{
padding:10px;
text-align:left;
}
.linkborder a{
color:#0033CC;
}
.linkborder a:hover{
color:#000000;
}
</style>
<body>
<!-- pagingStart -->
<table with="100%" height="50" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><div width="1" height="1"></div></td>
<!-- pagingLoopStart -->
<td width="10" align="center">
<!-- pageNumber -->
</td>
<!-- pagingLoopEnd -->
<td><div width="1" height="1"></div></td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- pagingEnd -->
<!-- loopStart -->
<div class="linkborder">
<!-- content -->
</div>
<!-- loopEnd -->
</body>
</html>
|
To make this search engine friendly you should add meta tags to the header like this:
<meta name="keywords" content="Keywords go here">
<meta name="description" content="This is my description <!-- title -->.">
|
This insures that you have different meta tags for each page, otherwise Google won’t list them.
To make your link pages look like your site you need to place your header HTML and code (depending on whether your using a scripting language or not) below the body tag, and your footer HTML and code above the body end tag. You can modify and add styles to the div containing the links, remember that the div is repeated for each link so you can add padding to each link. An alternative is to use a table to contain the links to allow you to style them in a table layout. The paging can also be modified in the same way. Styles can be used to add text colours and rollover effects using CSS. Make sure you align the linkborder left as the default for different browsers differs.
<table with="100%" height="50" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">
<!-- loopStart -->
<tr>
<td class="linkborder">
<!-- content -->
</td>
</tr>
<!-- loopEnd -->
</table>
