What is ReefIndex?
|
In short, it's a guide to the best information available on the reefkeeping and
saltwater aquarium hobby. It's here to provide hobbyists of all experience
levels with hand-selected, quality information. Picked out by fellow hobbyists,
not some search engine spider. Think of it as the human search engine for
reefkeeping.

|
Is this another one of those "top ten" directories?
|
No.
ReefIndex was created from an entirely different vision. The "top ten"
sites can be great for search engine optimization, but if you ask me they
don't do a whole lot for the hobby.
This
site, however, is here for the hobbyist more than the webmaster. It represents
a body of knowledge and a research tool, not a technique solely for search
engine optimization.

|
Will ReefIndex hurt my search engine rankings?
|
Quite the opposite. It's true that linking to a "link farm" is bad for
your search engine status. But link farms are defined as huge collections
of links to very unrelated sites. The sites here are all reef and saltwater
aquarium-related, and will remain that way. So the search engines see this
as a guide or directory - much like themselves - not a link farm.
|
|
Why should I add my site?
|
For two good reasons. One, to get your site seen by as many people as possible.
And two, because it will help others get the information they're looking for.
|
|
What's the deal with having to put the ReefIndex button on my home page?
|
Having our button on web sites will deliver targeted hobbyists to us. As they surf,
they'll find you. And the ReefIndex community will be created, where everyone
pitches in a little and everyone benefits a lot.
|
|
Will you really check to see if the button is on my home page?
|
Yes.
|
|
Will my site appear on ReefIndex if the button is not on my home page?
|
No.
|
|
Will you periodically check my home page to make sure the button still appears?
|
Yes.
