Submitting referring links to Google

How to refer?

[John_Briggs]

If I read Google Search Engine Tip #1 correctly, it suggests referring links pointing to my site to Google. Since I have a large number of links established out there (a good number from very high traffic sites), and Goggle recognizes precisely two of them, I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to go about referring them to Google.

Thanks in advance....

John_Briggs can you rephrase this - I'm not sure what you are referring to?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld nonetheless! ;)

Sorry to be unclear ...
at [searchengineworld.com...] Title "Google Search Engine" there is a section "Tips". Tip #1 states "Submit any referring links (best links first) to Google. (links pointing to your site)"

I was wondering how I submit links to my site to Google. I have just been sitting here waiting for Google to discover (and list in "backward links" for me) major sites which I know link to my site. I did not know there was anything I could do to actually inform Google of these links. So the questions is how do I do that?

Hope that was clearer. Again many thanks.

Hi,

I added a small link section named 'This site is listed at ...' on my homepage. I list there sites where my site is listed. First, I refer those back link sites to GoogleBot (and all the others), and second, I pass my PageRank to those sites. Worked fine for my site.

I think it doesn't need necessarily a link section on your homepage but it could be a link page or something that is linked from your homepage.

Best regards

Welcome, John_Briggs.

One potential downside is that you are turning one-way links into reciprocals by putting the list on your site. If one-ways become more significant than reciprocals, that would hurt.

Google really doesn't need help finding pages. Quite likely the reason many of your return links don't show up is because of low PR. PR4 links and above show in a links search.

There have been strategies involving boosting the PR of a page linked to you by linking to it from a high PR page, but that might be more effective if you could boost the link page from another site.

That clears it up ... thank you.

I wonder if Milton Bradley has considered marketing a "Googlebot" game!
