For a quick example, Google "public relations Virginia" or "Virginia public relations agency" or "marketing Virginia Beach" or any keywords that include public relations, advertising, marketing, media, media relations, Virginia Beach (or any city in South Hampton Roads). You'll see www.rourkpr.com all over page one and two. It has produced amazing results for my business, and I have many other examples from satisfied customers.

The magic bullet is www.resourcelinks.net. It's a one-page “BMW” (business marketing webpage) placed in one of the nation's most successful business directories, the Resourcelinks Business Directory of Directories, which is owned by my friend Kevin Sullivan in Connecticut. Kevin is an algorithm genius who worked in Silicon Valley for more than a decade. He's one of the best in the business when it comes to understanding how search engines operate and getting listed at the top.

One of his favorite sayings is, "You don't get on the Web, you go through it. The challenge is to come out the other end on top."

Kevin started the Resourcelinks Business Directory of Directories more than 15 years ago and has consistently pushed profits through the roof for his clients. Rourk Public Relations has partnered with Kevin and his company, RBD Group LLC, to bring our customers the best natural search engine placements available.

That's money in the bank when you consider Internet sales are projected to reach $116 billion in 2007. You can get a bigger piece of that pie with a strong Internet presence for your product, service, issue or cause, guaranteeing thousands of viewers will be exposed to your business. This tactic ensures more eyeballs see your site than your competitors. "Eyes on screens" is the name of the game when it comes to attracting potential customers.

How It Works

Our clients' fully branded business marketing webpages appear consistently in the top ten and twenty search results. They appear for keywords that are name or industry specific, product and/or service specific, and location specific.

To learn more, here are some frequently asked questions.

1. What is the Resourcelinks Business Directory?
Answer The RBD (Resourcelinks Business Directory of Directories) is a comprehensive, business-only directory. The directory provides a platform for businesses across the United States to be found within the directory and on the search engines simultaneously. An RBD employee evaluates all of the business listings and we only accept businesses into the directory that meet our stringent requirements. We make every effort to weed out the fly-by-night operations and quick-buck type / redirect schemes. In short, you have to be a legitimate business and maintain good business practices to be placed on Resourcelinks.

Answer A BMW, or business marketing webpage, is a fully branded, comprehensive business webpage that is designed by us and maintained within the Resourcelinks Business Directory. If you already have a website, this page will be designed to match your website, include outbound links, and seamlessly place potential clients on your original web site.

4. How is my business marketing webpage found?
Answer Your business marketing webpage is found a number of ways.
1. From within the directory
1a. The exclusive plan for Rourk PR clients includes graphic and/or text hyperlinks to your business marketing webpage placed in all RBD city directories in the state where you do business. That number could range from 30 city directories to 300 city directories, depending on which state you select and who you're targeting.
1b. Business directory visitors can utilize the Directory Site Search and search the entire business directory from any webpage within the directory and find you.

2. From Search Engines
2a. Because your business marketing webpage is contained and maintained within the Resourcelinks Business Directory it is included in the normal indexing of the directory by the search engines. The Resourcelinks Business Directory appears in the search engine results for thousands of search words and phrases in the top 10 and 20 results.
2b. Rourk Public Relations' clients' business marketing webpages are indexed as part of the directory and appear in the top ten and twenty search engine results two ways:
2b1. Fully branded business marketing webpage that places in the top ten and twenty search engine results. Important Note: Fully branded Rourk Public Relations client business marketing web pages appear in the search engine results fully branded for their business name, their products and service offerings, location and non-location specific, highly competitive and general keyword and keyword phrase searches.
2b2. Co-branded - city directory webpage title / client business webpage in the search engine results description area.

5. How long will my business webpage be in the directory?
Answer Each business marketing webpage contract is for a period of one year. If you do not want to continue your contract after one year, you may request to be removed from the directory by completing our two step process.
1. Contact Rourk PR at (757) 478-0150.
2. Send to Rourk Public Relations on your company letterhead a request stating your position within the company, the person's name and contact information authorizing the request, and a brief explanation for the request. This process protects you from unauthorized persons requesting your business removal from the directory.
