Links needed
Our continued criticism of national advice sector and other agencies hasn't been without its cost for us. Not unreasonably, many of the organisations we've criticised have removed their links to our site. Because search engines such as Google take account of how many links a site has, we have now slipped from page 1 to page 6 of search results for terms such as 'disability living allowance'. We're not complaining, but visitor numbers are down as a result and so fewer people are getting the opportunity to discover our resources..
Can you help us climb back up the search results? If you or your organisation run a website, please consider putting in a link to our site.
The address for links is:
http://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/
If you want some text to add to the link, feel free to use all or part of the following:
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk: disability benefits news, guides and resources for claimants, carers and support workers. Some resources are free, others are available only to subscribing members. Run by a welfare rights worker and a qualified barrister.
