Getting The Right Kind of Links to your Site

Its important that you have other websites that links to your legal site. Yet it's not the number of links you get but the quality of the links.  Getting one link from a high ranking well ranked site is much better then getting a 100 links from link farms, sites that have nothing to do with your site or sites that have no existing search engine rankings.

Getting links from established directories can be very valuable and are considered high quality valuablelinks. Links from the Yahoo directory, the Open Directory, .EDU sites and other business and legal directories can be very valuable in your overall search engine marketing plan.  Contact us today for more information.

Latest Legal Website Upgrade

The latest legal website that we have redesigned is for the California DUI law office of Manuel Barba. The new site has additional pages, a flash animation logo and fixes a number of issues that the old site had.   The new site is also optimized for the search engines and has more search engine friendly content within the pages.

Checking the # of Links to your Legal Site

Getting links to your legal website from other sites is one of the more important things in getting high rankings at the search engines, especially Google.   To check the # of links that you presently have pointing to your site, goto Google and type in link:http://www.yoursite.com/ changing the domain to your law firms domain name.

Google doesnt report the full # of links though using this tool, yet they have rececently started reporting much more detailed link analysis in the Google sitemaps program. Yahoo though will report a more accurate # using the link search link:http://www.yoursite.com/.

The more links you have the better, but getting links from highly ranked and linked sites that are legal related will produce the best results. Getting links from any .EDU website can be especially valuable.

Upgrading Your Lawfirms Web Site

Updating your law firms website can be a good idea, especially if you have an older design with outdated content.  Clients expect to see a professional looking website that is easy to navigate and easy to find via the search engines.  If you have an older looking website that is not easy on the eyes or is not easy to navigate, you might lose some potential clients.

We have helped a number of lawyers upgrade their sites from basic one page sites to larger sites with loads of content, upgraded images, firm logos and flash animation. The lastest law firm we have helped upgrade its site is The Law Offices of Robert Aronov, a New York Real Estate Lawyer. 

We have expanded the site and included practice area pages for each of the firms practice areas, real estate headlines, legal resources and more. Each page is also optimized for the search engines and the site was built from the ground up with search engines in mind.
