Linking to SearchIFA.co.uk
SearchCo - April 2006
We always encourage people to link to SearchIFA.co.uk, and we make no bones about the fact that we
want people to do this because it helps our site to perform well in the Search Engines and this is
ultimately what we need to do and why IFAs decide to join the site.
However, we also encourage our members on the site to add a link from their own website to SearchIFA.co.uk.
The immediate response from our members is, as one would expect, "why should we?", or "how's that going
to help us?".
People are often afraid that if they add a link to their site to another website,
then they are likely to lose a potential client. However bear these points in
mind.
How likely is a visitor to actually see the link?
Links are often placed on separate Links pages which are rarely visited by people
so you are unlikely to lose a visitor through this route. However, the links
pages are visited by Search Engine
spiders so there is a benefit to the link being there.
Aren't we just helping the SearchIFA.co.uk site and not helping ourselves?
This is true if your own website is already performing very well in the Search Engines and being
better placed than the SearchIFA.co.uk site. However, if this were the case you would be unlikely to
join the site because you'd already be getting visitors directly via your own website.
However, the chances are you aren't performing well in the Search Engines, and therefore you have
nothing to lose by improving the rankings of SearchIFA.co.uk - but everything to gain! Remember that
once a visitor hits the SearchIFA site, they are lead to the postcode area in which they are looking
for an IFA and where YOUR listing will be included. The visitor will then read your details and hopefully
give you a call, and you then have the opportunity of getting a new client - which you didn't have before.

The SearchIFA site acts as a conduit, filtering traffic and getting targetted
visitors to read your information and contact you. By linking to the site and
improving the site's rankings you are
ultimately going to end up with more people contacting you for your services.
So get linking!!
