OnlineMarketingToday.com Celebrates Anniversary of Popular 'Link Management Assistant'
Tuesday, 15 November 2005
With the vast majority of Internet users relying on major search engines to find products and services, ranking high on Google, Yahoo and others is top-of-mind for most businesses. Being listed among the first few sites on search engines can generate as much revenue as extensive and expensive advertising campaigns.
The premier method for ranking higher is to have a site that features extensive links to targeted information with many links pointing back to your site. Search engines see that as being the deciding factor in what makes a site useful and important.
OnlineMarketingToday.com's "The Link Management Assistant" generates an extensive directory of searchable links to top sites in any user-defined category. It also totally automates the management of strategic link partners allowing business to focus entirely on finding new partners rather than managing existing partners.
"The software has given thousands of sites higher search engine visibility and increased productivity," says Duncan Carver, founder of OnlineMarketingToday.com. With no publicity beyond mentions in his weekly email newsletter, Carver saw downloads of the free software take off. "It's pretty much spread through word of mouth," he said.
Since its release, "The Link Management Assistant" has been downloaded over 20,000 times, installed on over 10,000 individual domains, and is currently active on over 4,000. Carver points out these are all totally independent webmasters -- not including the those who are using it on several websites.
"The Link Management Assistant" is competing closely with similar 3rd party services, leading the way as the most feature-rich, user-friendly, automated reciprocal linking manager available. Many users express amazement that the software is still available at no charge, but Carver notes he has no plans to charge for downloads.
