SEO: Why Links Matter

Whenever we design a website for a client, we do a lot of search engine optimization work – to help ensure that Google and the other search engines can find the content.  It’s about using the keywords on the page, and making sure it’s easy for search engine spiders to navigate the entire site without getting stuck.
