Having the webmaster collect good links and post them &gt; is a service to everyone. Our site includes links into the best in-depth local &gt; weather info, and since agencies move these links around periodically it lets &gt; one person keep them up to date (not so easy). &gt; &gt; The other reason USPS may put an emphasis on links (guessing on this) is because &gt; search engines like Google place such a 
high value on cross links as you know. &gt; If you have arranged reciprocal ones it can make it easier for potential new &gt; members to find your Squadron and its classes. &gt; &gt; Best wishes on your new Squadron's development, &gt; &gt; Bill Ray &gt; Seattle Webmaster &gt; &gt; &gt; -----Original Message----- &gt; From: GISPS [mailto:karl.peters@gisps.org] &gt; Sent: Wed 1/26/2005 7:53 PM &gt; To: KPolt@aol.com; usps-webmasters &gt; Cc: &gt; Subject: Re: Fwd: [USPS-Webmasters] 2004 Website Awards &gt; . . . . . . . . . . . . &gt; &gt; I found it interesting to check out the ones who scored really high, and see &gt; what improvement ideas I could get from their sites, in order to get a better &gt; score next year. &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; Kay Polt &gt; &gt; Web Mistress &gt; &gt; LRGV &gt; &gt; Yes, looking at the score criteria is very interesting!
