The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Link building technique by offering free hosting to companies in the same industry!

Asked by emroze in Internet Search Engine Optimization

Tags: SEo, Internet Marketing, Link Building

Hello All,

From my research so far, I have understood that the two most power factors in SEO are incoming links and content (both on my site and the sites linking to me).

Say my website specifically offers services to people who have criminal records and are looking to get a pardon from the state government, and I have good content on my website.

Now in order to get some back links from relevant sites, I get a reseller account at say $30/month and offer free hosting to lawyers and law firms in north america. I keep only one condition, I will give you free hosting for your website, I will even give you a 2-3 page website with CMS so you can update your site as you please, BUT at the bottom of your every page, there will be a link to my website.

I know that the lawyers who specifically do pardons, wont be interested in this program, but lawyers who do criminal cases, driving cases, immigration law, corporate law etc etc, shouldnt have a problem having a link to me since they are getting free hosting.

So how do you experts see this as a link building technique? I personally think that even tho the content on their sites wont be ECATLY relevant to mine, but it will be somwhat relevant. A lot of the keywords in their content will be keywords that apply to my site as well. However, the link appearing on the bottom of their pages will have anchor text linking to me.

Also one more question: What is the impact of links that open in a new browser window? What happens if I make all of those links to my website on their pages open in a new window. And generally again....... if there is a site out there that links to my website and opens my website in a new window, is that good or bad for me?

Sincerely,

AJ
