Search SightOpens in a new Window is another Search Directory I have been using for a few years. Similar to GoogleOpens in a new Window , Search SightOpens in a new Window has a ranking system. For Search SightOpens in a new Window, a Q value is given to each website. Ranking from 0-10, the Q value plays a role in helping to determine the position of the website on Search Sight’sOpens in a new Window website. Normally, the highest value given to a website is a 7.0. If the website has a link to Search SightOpens in a new Window, it is given an extra .5. If a website is upgraded to a premiere listing, it is automatically given a minimum 9.0 listing.

When the original aleeya.net was up, it contained a Q value of 2.5. When the website was changed over to the new theme, it was given a 4.0. With a few tweaks, the Q value rose to 5.0 and then 6.0. With a few more tweaks, at it’s current state, it is now a 7.5. I am extremely proud of this!

Q. Why do people build websites?
A. They have something to share.

Plain and simple: Whether you are a business who has something to sell, a website designer, or even the average Joe, the game is still the same – to get listed high in the search engines. The better your listing is, the more people that will come to your website. For the vast majority of website owners, the reason the website is there in the first place is because they want others to read what they have to say.
