Hi Brian,
An additional link to your website from HomeInspector will not dilute your SEO juice, it will boost your sites SEO juice. I can understand if we were asking for a reciprocal link or asking you to place an outbound link on your site, but we are not. Your site will receive one-way inbound links from a very relevant source.
1. You will get a website direct link.
2. In-text link within your company description.
3. Category specific link.
4. Location specific link.
5. As well as visitor traffic finding your listing.

So overall, one-way links to your site from HomeInspector.com will help your site rank for search term phrases that contain: home inspector, home inspectors, your location, your company category and the in-text keywords you create as links in your company description.

Inbound links to your site = boost.
Outbound or reciprocal links from your site = dilution.

If you would like to discuss further or have a custom review of your current SEO campaign please let me know and I will be glad to help.

Thank you,
Ben Evans

Yes, however after much conversation with NACHI staff, we feel that the new SEO model is a better tool and value.

Fair enough.

A few people asked me about this so I wanted to clarify for people what you are saying. An outbound link from someone's site does NOT dilute your SEO. What is true is that an inbound only link is worth more than a two way link (you link to them and they link back).

Neither will hurt you, it's just that one will help more than the other.

I do not agree.

If this site uses similar Search Words as my site/s then yes, my SEO will be diluted.

Cant see the value in this for established Sites myself.

Brian, the most valuable incoming links are from related fields. Google sees more value in real estate related sites pointing to yours than it will a pet store (for example). Now if you're thinking it'll compete for the exact same phrase than what you're really saying is that you don't want to be helping another site compete directly with you.

To add to this, HomeInspector.com providing an outbound link to your site does not help HomeInspector.com. It only helps the receiving site. We are not asking for you to provide a link back to us or help HomeInspector.com in any way with links. HomeInspector.com is giving away it's SEO power by providing this link building opportunity. Only the receiving site will be enhanced.
