If anyone else on here has a website like me ( http://www.stormwarningusa.com ) be sure to add a link on your site like I did (you will see it to the left on my top page).

Search engines give "weight" to websites as they are ranked. Many of these search engines dig around on the web to see how many times a link to a specific web site is listed on other websites - signifying popularity.

The links on other websites are called "link backs" amongst other hi-tech terms. The more times a search engine sees a website's link on other websites, the more "weight" that site is given in popularity and the higher it's rank will be on the search engine results.

For example, let's say someone goes to google and enters the search keywords "illegal immigration" The search engine displays the websites based on a number of criteria. One of those being the apparant popularity of a website. If a website has apparant popularity with a large number of back links on other websites, it's chances of showing up in the first page of the search results is greater.

So I'm asking anyone on here who has a website, give ALIPAC a link on your TOP page so it can be found by others easily. This is an often overlooked technique out on the web!

And there, my friends, is my very own little "Tech Minute"
