Links and Website project

As part of the promotion of Lafayette Ron Hubbard's workable applied philosophy the IFA announce the Links & Website Project.

The purpose of this is to:

Promote the exact technology and original workable philosophy of Lafayette Ron Hubbard so it may be known by all mankind

In this case, making the Freezone easy to find for people. And one of the prime ways of making one self easy to find and known is to increase the rankings in the various search engines.

The object of the game here is to get on or as close to the first page presented in a search engine when someone enters the subject they are looking for.

If someone goes to Google, the most popular and used search engine, and types in Scientology for example. What do they get?

Apart from the odd one or two isolated sites they will get a proliferation of Church of Scientology sites. Mostly because the Chuch has instituted a campaign to have as many people put up a 'personal scientology web page' as possible all following the same format, each promoting the Church of Scientology with a link to the Church's site.

The C of S then has discovered one of the prime ways a search engine ranks a site.

There are some carefully guarded methods Google and others use to rank pages but in the main it can be summed up as follows.

RANKINGS ARE GRADED IN PROPORTION TO THE INTEREST TAKEN IN A SITE AS MEASURED BY THE NUMBER OF LINKS, REQUESTS AND HITS TO THAT SITE

Now this may or may not be totally accurate but it is workable to a large degree.

Meta words (Hidden words on a web page - can be found by right clicking your mouse on a web page and selecting 'view source', which will show you how the page is constructed) used to be the prime method use by search egines (such as google, alta vista etc) but these are no longer the sole method of grading web pages. However, these days search engines tend to list in ranking order judging by the number of links TO a web site. If, for example you are selling thingamajigs and have 50 links TO your web site and 'Joe, who also sells thingamajigs only has 10 links to his web site, then you will rank higher, or closer, to the first page for anyone looking up thinaamajigs.

By INCREASING the number of Freezone websites AND increasing the links between all the Freezone web sites, we can increase the presence of the Freezone with the major search engines and therefore our presence through the main medium which people use these days to find Scientology on the web.

This is where the IFA Links & Website Project comes in.

I would like to encourage you to:

Increase the number of freezone web sites you run and/or control. Below are some links to some hosts that you can use to create simple Freezone sites for free!

Increase your links between freezone websites. If you select links from the left you are welcome to copy the links and incorporate into your web site. If you do this the IFA will add your web site to our main links page also.

Banners are another great linking system. The IFA have a selection of banners which one may use to link to the IFA. By the same token the IFA are now willing to put up banners of those Freezone Sites which practice the Standard Working Applied Philosophy of Lafayette Ron Hubbard on our Links Page.

Just email us at [email protected] as soon as you have put up a link or banner to the IFA and we will have your link or banner up within 24 hours.

Although we are individuals and groups, we are still part of the larger group called the Freezone. The more we work together, the more we can cooperate in an agreement to thrust forward the purpose of Freezone expansion the stronger we will be and the safer our environment will become.

Participation in this venture can only benefit us all!

We have a Project IC now, Scott who has already set up the first website. great stuff Scott!

Remember, the more we do here and now the more our future is assured.
