Re: SE's that take links into account From Hope on 7 Dec '00 replying to SE's that take links into account posted by ak You would need to submit the guestbook page to the search engines, have that page get indexed and then it would count. You need to remember that the quantity of inbound links isn't as important as the quality. The sites that link to you need to be relevant to your site. If you sell sports shoes, a link from a personal page wouldn't be as important as a link from Nike. It would be better to contact sites that are related to yours and ask for a link exchange. This way the links are relavent. >Given that some search engines take into account the number of sites that link to your URL, would (theoretically) adding my URL when I sign guestbooks count as a site linking to me?
