  1. For example, if you sell paintings a link from an art school or a gallery would be important.
    For example, "golf" is too general and the traffic that
    comes to your website may not be very eager to buy golf equipments from you.
    But this should in no way be used to downgrade
    the use of search engine marketing services by legitimate businessmen to help promote their
    businesses, products and services online.
