Practicing SEO will help you acheive better search engine ranking for your website. Search Engines have many ways to judge the importance and relevance of a web site, and these can be split into two areas. On-site optimisation, and off-site optimisation.

On-site SEO tricks used in the past to gain ranking advantage have led to Google and others viewing off-site optimisation has more important than on-site and who you link to and who links to you are extremely important in this. People that take the time to view a site and then link to its information are voting for that site as being worthy in their view. Sites with lots of votes that give your site a vote will improve your ranking.

Also, when a relevant site of importance, gives your website a link back, then that site is staking its ranking on your information relevance. This is why Real-Estate.net.au is human edited and why we declined so many links that we view as not relevant or of poor quality. In the end less is more when it cames to quality,relevance and focus.

The maintenance of a quality collection of relevant links to the category is all a factor in enhancing search engine spidering of the directory.
