MORE THAN POSITIVE REP.

Web Reputation Management (Online Identity Management / Personal Branding)
An owner understands that his business' public image means everything -- you could lose partners, employees, and customers with a negative one. Just look at companies which neglected their reputation for some time. Can't find one? Precisely!
And even if you're not a multinational corporation or a large-scale manufacturer of soda, you can still have a business so an overview of reputation management is in order. It might not be a mainstream yet but this sector is gaining attention as people and businesses shift the venue of interaction to the online world.
Your reputation in the real world is not enough.
If it's true that your real world reputation will eventually translate into the online world, then it follows that having a stellar rep IRL will fix its online counterpart, right? Not quite. You could do everything right with your business in the real world but without being aware of social media (http://logicgateone.com/#!/Social_Media) and the risks online, you're a sitting duck.
Directories are quite simply the online version of those quintessential yellow pages, where you can find almost everything listed down and categorized. While there are free ones, others require a fee before your business could be submitted. Choosing the right categories to be included in getting your places because LGO (http://logicgateone.com/) doesn't do those fully-automated submission services (http://logicgateone.com/#!/Submissions) (Why would you entrust your details and reputation to unsupervised codes?) we can get through the human-edited directories.
We can also put your business on the map quite literally. Your office address and business contact will be right there on the map. Aside from the bonus that potential clients will easily spot you, this also counts significantly in the SEO (http://logicgateone.com/#!/SEO) meter.
By the way, we also do article and video submissions.

Even as we know that SEO (http://www.logicgateone.com/#!/SEO) is not all about the links, we acknowledge that it is a big deal. It used to be a great thing to have a website linked to yours, through something called reciprocal links. Well, search engines have caught on and have now rendered those reciprocal links practically useless in getting higher ranking. For search engines, mutual links seem too fishy and most likely meant there's some sort of connivance.
Search engines have grown so smart when it comes to link analysis that they could figure out how pages or websites are linked amongst each other. Even more reason to remember that the value of link building does not lie on the quantity but on the link's reputation (http://www.logicgateone.com/#!/Online_Reputation_Management) and topic. Why so? Well, a website about the same field as yours will count more than those that are not related at all. For example, you have a website about a restaurant, so it will make more sense to link to food blogs and directories and whatnots instead of linking to DIY construction projects, right?
Bookmarking is an important part of quality link building. It's the perfect way to save the links without having to store the bulky webpages themselves to access it easily next time (kinda like how you would bookmark pages of a physical book to mark where you left off). Online (or offline) bookmarking tools enables you to edit descriptions, like filenames, or add tags to make them easy to search (a strong factor for this to be added in SEO strategies). You can also share it to others and add comments or ratings to other's bookmarks.
