Your customers are searching the web, are they finding you?

• Most web users complain that they spend more time looking for information than they do reading it.
• Businesses complain that their customers are unable to locate their website.
  
  

Over the past 10 years, In Vancouver Web Services has addressed these problems by creating web portals that focus on regional businesses, are informative and easy to use. Our web portals offer users to search accommodations, dining, shopping, services, and events in Vancouver and province wide. These web portals are the ultimate regional business directory guides on the internet that produce millions of hits every month!

In 1995 In Vancouver Web Services created the following portal websites which now receive millions of visitors every month and are extremely essential for clients in the hospitality and tourism industry:

Direct Text Links on Portal Sites

• The main objective of the direct text link is to increase the Google PageRank.
• PageRank is a numeric value that represents how important a page is on the web. Google figures that when one page links to another page, it is effectively casting a vote for the other page. The more votes that are cast for a page, the more important the page must be. Also, the importance of the page that is casting the vote determines how important the vote itself is. Google calculates a page's importance from the votes cast for it. How important each vote is is taken into account when a page's PageRank is calculated.
• PageRank is Google's way of deciding a page's importance. It matters because it is one of the factors that determines a page's ranking in the search results. It isn't the only factor that Google uses to rank pages, but it is an important one.
