Links and Resource Page

A links page is something I highly recommend. Aside from the content of a website, this page is the most important feature of any promotional service. A links page is what you use to build link popularity, add more content and develope a deeper understanding of the industry and hence the product or service that is being offered.

A links page should include links to general and industry specific directories, to relevant associations, articles, magazines, organizations and other research outlets. Over the years, as a part of my promotional service, I have built an extensive database of websites in which one might get listed or use as a resource. This not only helps to generate more traffic to a site, it helps to create a website that effectively depicts a sense of pride in superior service and quality products.

In addition to hundreds of Canadian, American and International directories, some of the industries that I have catalogued include: Interior Design, Architecture, Furniture, Office Facility Management, Textile, Chemical, Heat Exchangers, Heat Transfer, Engineering, Mechanical, Plastics, Material Handling, Plumbing, Pipe.

With this in mind, here are some links that have, in one way or another, have helped me to perfect the technique of creating websites that enhance the marketability of a business.
